Plato Racing have announced their complete driver line-up for the 2026 British Touring Car Championship as Adam Morgan partners Dan Rowbottom in their all-new Mercedes AMG A35 Saloon.
The Blackburn-born star enters his 15th consecutive season in the series this year, after completing his most successful campaign to date in 2025 with a sixth place finish in the drivers’ championship.
After spending last year in Team VERTU’s Hyundai i30 Fastback N Performance, Morgan will soon be back behind the wheel of a Mercedes – a marque he has taken eight of his 11 BTCC wins with during his career.
Morgan has prior experience being Rowbottom’s teammate as well, as the pair previously raced together at in 2019. Now they’re back with the assistance of two-time BTCC champion and team owner Jason Plato, who has high hopes for the season ahead.
Adam Morgan, Plato Racing: “This is unbelievably exciting. Joining Plato Racing and being a part of a brand new team, brand new car and a whole new way of approaching the BTCC is incredible. JP knows how to win championships and get the best not just out of the car but also out of the team, and you can already see that clearly in how he has gone about setting up Plato Racing. I genuinely can’t wait to get started, it’s going to be a mega year! There’s going to be drama, of course, Jason Plato is involved!”
Jason Plato, Plato Racing Team Owner: "I'm thrilled to have Adam join my team, he has vast experience and has proved he can win BTCC races with his 11 wins and 47 podiums. Just like I expect from Dan, I also believe that Adam will be a true force at the sharp end in the BTCC this year. Wow, it's a wonderful moment to have two great drivers who have the personality and wildness to fit in with my brand values at Plato Racing.”
