Brit Nick Foster began racing in the British Touring Car Championship in 2011 with West Surrey Racing, owned and run by Kiwi Dick Bennetts. Foster stayed in the BTCC for another four years racing BMWs. Roll on to 2023 and Nick’s son, newly crowned Indy Pro 2000 champion Louis Foster, is now competing in the 2023 Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship.
