2025 Podium finisher Maximus Hall has set his sights on winning the 2026 TCR UK Driver’s title after signing for the new Hall’s Racing squad, which is joining the championship.
Max will be driving one of two JAS Motorsport-built Honda Civic Type R FL5 TCRs, with his teammate to be revealed in due course.
The eighteen-year-old has also become one of the new wave of JAS Development drivers, receiving support and guidance from the Italian manufacturer as he works through the 2026 TCR UK season, with plans to also contest races in Europe later this year.
The young Bristolian made an impressive debut in TCR UK last year, where he took two podium finishes in the penultimate weekend at Snetterton before fighting hard from the back of the grid, to take a fourth-place finish in the final race of the year at Brands Hatch.
Having shown his pace and talent during his short period of racing last year, Max will now take on his first full season of TCR UK as a JAS Development driver, with the driver’s title firmly in his sights for 2026.
Running as part of a new team this year and working with JAS also provides new opportunities for Max as he looks to continue his way up the TCR Competition ladder.
“I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be racing in TCR UK for the 2026 season, with the aim of securing the Drivers’ Title. I’ll be driving for the new Hall’s Racing team, which brings over two decades of motorsport experience. Whilst they may be new to TCR, they know their stuff, which means that we’ll be able to hit the ground running at the start of the season,” said Max.
“Working as a JAS Motorsport Development driver is a fantastic opportunity for me, and I’m ready to work hard as we take on each weekend throughout the season. The Honda Civic is a new car to me; however, we have a testing programme in place that will help me get up to speed quickly.”
Championship Manager Jack Finlan is delighted to have Max back in the TCR UK Paddock, as well as welcoming Hall’s Racing as a brand-new team to the championship.
“Max made a big impression last year at Snetterton and Brands Hatch, so it’s great to see him return to the championship for a full season. Being part of the JAS Development Driver program, Max will also be able to develop further as a driver and learn more about the Honda Civic, which has seen a lot of success in Global TCR Competition,” said Jack.
“I’m also very happy to welcome Hall’s Racing to the TCR UK grid. It’s always good to welcome new teams into the championship, and as a second team running Hondas, this takes the number of FL5 TCRs up to four for the 2026 season. This shows the faith that teams and entrants have in the championship, providing stability, variety and more competition for the year ahead and putting on a great show for everyone following TCR UK.”
