About Me
Be The Best - Michael Crees
Racing Driver | Family Man | Motorsport Addict
Hey, I’m Michael Crees – racing driver, family guy, and all-around motorsport nut. My journey into professional racing wasn’t exactly traditional. I didn’t grow up in a kart. I started later, coming from a business background, but once I hit the track, I knew I’d found my thing.
I kicked things off in the Ginetta Racing Drivers’ Club, then won the Ginetta GT4 Supercup Am title with Century Motorsport. That opened the door to the British Touring Car Championship, where I scored points on my debut and racked up 100 starts, with a best finish of P8 and plenty of elbows-out racing along the way.
My proudest moment so far? Definitely winning the Jack Sears Trophy in 2020 after a season-long scrap. It meant everything, especially as someone who took the scenic route into this sport. Since then, I’ve also raced in British GT, the GT4 European Series, and even had a go in Porsche Supercup.
Away from the track, I’m a proud husband and dad, and I still run businesses on the side. It’s all a juggle, but I love the chaos. Thanks for checking in and following the ride. There’s plenty more to come.

History
My Racing History
2018
Ginetta GT4 Supercup
I kicked off my racing journey in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup with Century Motorsport. It was an incredible debut season where I managed to win the Am Class Championship – a moment I’ll never forget.
2019
BTCC
I made the step up to the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) with Team HARD, driving the Volkswagen CC. It was a steep learning curve, but an amazing experience racing in one of the UK’s top championships. I finished the season 23rd overall, gaining a ton of valuable experience.
2020
BTCC
I joined BTC Racing and got behind the wheel of a Honda Civic Type R (FK8). This year was a real turning point for me. I scored consistent points and finished 17th in the overall standings and winning the Jack Sears trophy.
2021
Porsche Supercup
I made the exciting move to the Porsche Supercup, racing with Team Parker Racing. Competing on the international stage alongside Formula 1 events was a huge step in my career. It was an intense and eye-opening experience that really pushed me as a driver, and I gained a lot from going up against some of the best one-make racers in the world.
2022
BTCC
I returned to the BTCC grid with CarStore Power Maxed Racing, driving the Vauxhall Astra. It was another highly competitive season, and I finished 20th in the standings, continuing to build on my BTCC journey.
2023
BTCC / British GT4 / European GT4
2023 was a full-on year for me, as I competed across multiple championships. I returned to the BTCC for half a season with Team HARD and battling it out in one of the most competitive grids around. On top of that, I also raced in the Porsche Supercup with Martinet by Alméras and took part in selected rounds of the British GT Championship with Raceway Motorsport in the Ginetta G56 GT4.
2024
Porsche Supercup
I also had the chance to jump back into the Porsche Supercup for a one-off round which was an amazing opportunity to get back into that ultra-competitive one-make series and remind myself of the thrill that comes with international racing.
2025
BTCC
This year, I’ve returned to where it all began – the British Touring Car Championship, racing with Team Vertu and EXCELR8 in the Hyundai. It feels great to be back on the BTCC grid, and I’m more motivated than ever to push forward and fight for strong results. With a great team behind me, I’m excited for what this season has in store.
