Michael Crees (born 7 September 1983) is an English racing driver currently competing in the British Touring Car Championship racing under the number 777 for BTC Racing.[1]
Racing career
A relative latecomer to racing, Crees joined the BTCC grid in 2019 after spending the previous season in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup,[2] where he secured the Am Class title.
His debut season saw him compete for Team HARD at the wheel of a Volkswagen CC, and he secured a points scoring finish on his debut at Brands Hatch. His best result would come later in the season at Silverstone Circuit, where Crees broke into the top ten for the first time.
Having switched to BTC Racing for 2020 to drive a Honda Civic Type R, Crees would match his personal best result of ninth and was a regular points scorer as he secured the Jack Sears Trophy.
