18-year-old Max Hall will make his debut in the TCR UK Touring Car Championship at Snetterton, where he will drive the Ben Sharpe Racing Lynk & Co 03 TCR.
Whilst this will be the young Bristolians’ first time out in a TCR car during a race weekend, Max has already had the chance to try out the car, learning about the Lynk & Co before setting some impressive times during the test.
Max boasts an exciting CV of tintop racing behind him. Making his car racing debut in the 2021 Ginetta Junior Championship, he went on to secure the Junior Saloon Car Championship title and JSCC Rookie title the following year.
Hall is also a recipient of the Peter Collins Trophy from the same season, which is awarded to the most promising young driver by the BARC.
Hall followed this up with two seasons in the Mini Challenge, where he finished as the overall runner-up and claimed the rookie title, before further pursuing his dream career as a professional motorsport driver this year.
Outside of his Motorsport activities, Max trains hard in Mixed Martial Arts and Boxing, as well as working as an Apprentice Auto Technician for the family business, Hall’s Electrical Ltd.
Max’s entry at the Norfolk venue is supported by Hall’s Electrical Ltd, Durite Limited, Brigade Electronics, Solent Transport Services, Standby RSG, Woodway, Individual Auto Design, Emergency Vehicle Products and Set Square Joinery.
Hall becomes the eighth new driver to join TCR UK in 2025, as he brings the Lynk & Co brand back to the grid with BSR and is excited to make his mark on the championship.
“I’m very excited to announce my debut in TCR UK, for the Snetterton weekend. I’m looking forward to putting the Lynk & Co through its paces and showing what I can do in a Front Wheel Drive touring car on a competitive grid,” explained Max.
“The test day went very well, where I got to work with Ben Sharpe and his team, as well as getting laps in the car. I left the test feeling very confident about what I can do. I always aim to go for the win when I’m racing, so I’ll be all out for podium finishes at least at Snetterton.”
Ben Sharpe, Team Owner of Ben Sharpe Racing, is excited to see what Max can do on his debut.
“We’ve been working hard in the background on the Lynk & Co, and with Max’s first outing, we really hit the ground running, showing some very respectable pace. The car is quick, and together we’re confident we can come in and cause a few surprises in the remaining rounds of the season.”
Championship Manager Jack Finlan welcomes Max to the championship ahead of the Snetterton event.
“Max is one of the new generation of Touring Car drivers we are seeing coming up through the ranks of UK Motorsport, and it’s a pleasure to welcome him to the TCR UK grid. He’s already shown a meteoric rise in his motorsport career, and this is the logical next step for him,” said Jack.
“It’s also great to welcome back the Lynk & Co, having been in action at several events earlier this year. BSR have been working hard with the car all season, and I’m excited to see what Max can do on his debut at Snetterton.”
