Jersey's Jack Butel has set his sights on top ten finishes in this season's British Touring Cars Championships.

The 25-year-old, who made his debut in the Championships in 2020 with Ciceley Motorsport Racing, accumulated his first points in his maiden season.

Now he says he wants to build on that progress and has set his sites on finishing higher up the pack.

Butel has previously driven in British F4 and the British LMP3 Cup, but chalked up his first points in the Championship in just his second competitive outing in a touring car - against the backdrop of a condensed season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

He is currently testing at tracks including Silverstone and Brands Hatch ahead of the first race of the 2021 season at Thruxton on Saturday 8 May.
