Studley-based British Touring Car Championship team Power Maxed Racing (PMR) is offering a £25,000 cash reward for help getting back its Audi race car, which was stolen along with the team’s race trailer from ExCeL London. The appeal was first reported by the Stratford Herald.
In its own statement on Thursday 12 November, the team says the Audi S3, raced this season by Dexter Patterson, had been used at a promotional event at the London exhibition centre. It was then locked inside PMR’s trailer overnight, in the venue’s locked compound with on-site security, and the trailer and car were taken. The Herald says this happened overnight on Wednesday.
What the team is asking for
The reward is for information that leads to the safe recovery of the complete car. PMR says the car is new to the championship for 2026, is extremely distinctive and has very little use or value outside professional motorsport. It is asking the motorsport, car and haulage trades to look out for the car, the trailer, or any BTCC-specification parts offered for sale.
Anyone with information can contact the team in confidence by email at info@powermaxedracing.com or by phone on 01789 330727. We haven’t seen a police appeal or crime reference number for the theft yet; we’ll add it if one is published.
About Power Maxed Racing
PMR joined the BTCC in 2014 and builds and prepares its race cars at its Warwickshire base, where it also offers motorsport and car services. The theft comes days after a strong end to its season: at the TOCA awards night on 9 November the team says it collected the Independent Teams’ and Independent Drivers’ titles and the Jack Sears Trophy. It is due back at ExCeL London for the Motorsport Expo from 26 to 28 February 2027, to show its 2027 car.
Details checked on 12 November 2026 using Power Maxed Racing’s statement and the Stratford Herald’s report, which first reported the appeal.
