Team Wood Racing are a British Touring Car Championship team, currently competing in the 2014 season as Houseman Racing.[1]
Current Season[]
TWR are running a single car in 2014, with Lea Wood (a member of the family run team) as their driver.[2] The team are running as Houseman Racing, after Rob Houseman bringing his company to the team as a title sponsor.[2]
History[]
TWR were formed in 2008 to allow Lea Wood to ultimately drive in the BTCC (the team spent two years running in the Renault Clio Cup).[2] Obtaining the sponsorship of Central Group (which meant the team was entered as Central Group Racing), the team's BTC-Spec Honda Integra Type-R was entered at a number of races throughout the 2010 and 2011 seasons.[2] Wood caused a stir at Oulton Park when he drove from 21st to 7th in the first race of the day, despite using the old Integra which TOCA had given a 50kg weight addition (added to all BTC-Spec cars that year).[2]
Lea Wood racing the BINZ sponsored Vauxhall Vectra in 2012.
2012 saw the team running under the name of BINZ Racing, which gave them enough money to buy the ex-Eurotech Vauxhall Vectra from 2011.[2] Now with Super 2000 equipment, Wood became a regular point scorer, with a best finish of fifth at Oulton Park (his and TWR's best).[2] 2013 saw the BTCC switch to favour NGTC regulations, with S2000 cars limited to competing for the Jack Sears Trophy.[2] Wood took the Jack Sears Trophy by finishing highest of the S2000 cars in 18 of the season's 30 races.[2]
Houseman took over the role of title sponsor in 2014, and, with TOCA banning S2000 cars at the start of the year, TWR bought a Toyota Avensis for Wood to use for the year, as the team aimed to return to being regular point scorers.[1]

Team Wood Racing have, so far, claimed only one major trophy.
