John Powell has shared his excitement ahead of the 2025 British Truck Racing Championship season, where he is set to make the step up to Division 1.
Powell emerged as one of the standout figures in the super-sized series last year as he powered his way to the Division 2 title – coming out on top of a tense final race showdown against Simon Cole.
With a maiden Drivers’ title now secured, Powell and his JP Racing squad are now set to graduate to the series’ premier class with brand-new machinery.
“It’s very exciting at the moment,” said Powell. “We’re currently well underway building a new truck and everything is new; the chassis, the cab, the engine. We’re looking forward to showing everyone what we’ve been working on.
“Making the step up to Division 1 is a process and we’re very much in the middle of that process currently. We’ll be good to go for the opening round however it’ll be a case of taking it one round at a time; getting a feel for things and then making the necessary steps to move forward.
“There’s no way we couldn’t do any of this without our fantastic sponsors and partners, so a big thank you to all of those!”
The 2025 British Truck Racing Championship season commences at Brands Hatch on April 19-20.
