Plato Racing has revealed the livery that will be carried by Daniel Rowbottom and Adam Morgan for the 2026 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship season. The two Mercedes-AMG A35 Saloons showcase a striking colour combination of purple, white and grey.
Cataclean Plato Racing’s Bold New Look
The team will run under the banner of Cataclean Plato Racing. Jason Plato, two-time champion and winner of 97 BTCC races, leads the team into its debut season. The two front-wheel-drive machines are guaranteed to turn heads with its striking colour combination. The team are looking to make an instant impact as they target overall honours.
Sponsors On Board
Cataclean is poised to embark on its seventh campaign on the grid as title sponsors. They are renowned across the UK’s automotive aftermarket sector for its fuel and exhaust system cleaner. Cataclean has utilised the BTCC platform to forge innovative partnerships with the likes of championship sponsors Kwik Fit.
Plato Racing has also welcomed ASUS to the BTCC. ASUS is a multinational technology leader renowned for its world-class hardware. Brands such as Snap-On and Ciceley Commercials have become central in the design of the team’s inaugural race season livery.
Final Preparations at Brands Hatch
Fans will be able to get a first glimpse of both cars sporting their new colours at Brands Hatch. Rowbottom and Morgan will take part in the final official pre-season test before the opening round. The opening round takes place at Donington Park (18/19 April).
Team Owner’s Pride
Jason Plato, Plato Racing Team Owner, said it is an incredibly proud moment to reveal the final livery that both Dan and Adam will compete with this year. He added that what has been achieved over the past few months defies description, and the cars in their final form are nothing short of sensational.
Plato said that having brands such as Cataclean and ASUS on-board shows that they aren’t messing about. He added that they’re globally recognised and operate at the very highest level, something that they pride themselves in doing.
Daniel Rowbottom said the car looks absolutely phenomenal in its livery and it’s a credit to everyone at Plato Racing for what they’ve been able to achieve in a relatively short time. He added that they’re certainly not going to be hard to miss on-track.
This Mercedes is unlike anything Rowbottom has ever driven before and the details that have gone into the build are incredible. He added that they’ve covered a lot of ground during pre-season testing.
The 2026 season will be the first for the squad in the UK’s premier motorsport series.
