Rick Kerry will continue with EDF Motorsports in the TCR UK Touring Car Championship for the 2026 season, as he targets regular front-running results in proven Hyundai machinery.
Kerry will contest the season in the Hyundai i30 N TCR, the same car he drove during the final round of the 2025 campaign — a debut outing that resulted in a strong seventh-place finish and provided a solid foundation heading into a full championship assault. The car, previously campaigned by Callum Newsham, will once again be run by EDF Motorsports as Kerry looks to build momentum and challenge for podium finishes throughout the year. The 2026 campaign will also see Kerry supported by Ipswich Accident Repair Centre, who will feature as a key partner as he embarks on his full-season TCR UK programme with Edf Motorsport.
A highly experienced touring car racer, Kerry brings a wealth of knowledge and race-winning pedigree to the TCR UK grid. His career spans back to the late 1990s and includes extensive experience across a wide range of championships, with notable success in touring car competition both in the UK and abroad.
While his racing résumé spans multiple categories, Kerry’s previous achievements include success at British Touring Car Championship level — where he made history as the first-ever diesel-powered entrant — as well as championship victories in the Kumho BMW Touring Car Championship. More recently, he claimed the Gen 1 Cup title in 2024, underlining his continued competitiveness and adaptability behind the wheel.
Now turning his focus firmly to TCR UK, Kerry is relishing the opportunity to compete in machinery capable of fighting at the front of the field.
“I’m really excited to be continuing in TCR UK with EDF Motorsports for 2026,” said Kerry. “I had a great first run in the Hyundai i30 at the final round last year, coming home seventh, and straight away it felt like a car that can genuinely compete for podiums. I’ve raced across a lot of different championships over the years, but the level in TCR UK is incredibly strong, and having a package like this gives us a real opportunity. If we can be fighting at the front and maybe even nick a win along the way, that would be fantastic.”
Championship Manager Jack Finlan welcomed Kerry’s continued presence on the grid and highlighted the value of experience within the TCR UK field.
“It’s great to see Rick continuing in the TCR UK Championship for 2026,” said Finlan. “He brings a huge amount of experience from touring cars and beyond, and it’s always exciting to see drivers with that background competing in the series. We’re looking forward to seeing what Rick and EDF Motorsports can achieve together this season.”
