Everard was proud to sponsor the Classic Touring Car Racing Club's (CTCRC) Pre-'83 Touring Cars category at Oulton Park on 6–7 June 2026.
Competing alongside the modern-day British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), the grid of Group 1 touring cars raced in front of a packed Oulton Park crowd, with Sunday's final race broadcast live on ITV.

There was added interest for the Everard team, with James Everard sharing Jonathan Corker's championship-winning Datsun 510 for the weekend.
Limited running in a wet qualifying session left the pair starting further down the order than hoped, but conditions improved for the opening race. James worked his way through the field from 12th on the grid, closing on the leaders as the race unfolded. A late challenge for the lead paid off on the penultimate lap, with the Datsun taking victory despite developing gearbox issues in the closing stages.

The weekend featured three races and a 25-car field, with a varied mix of machinery including Triumph Dolomites, Rover SD1s, Ford Capris and Ford Escorts.
As a long-standing supplier to the automotive industry, Everard is pleased to support grassroots and historic motorsport, helping celebrate the engineering, preparation and competition that continue to make classic touring car racing so popular.
