MG is currently involved in British Touring Car Championship as a constructor, under the name of MG Sport & Racing. They have been associated with BTCC since 2001.
==History==
===2001===
MG entered the BTCC for the first time in 2001, with West Suurey Racing running the team. They signed the 2000 Independent's Champion Tom Gill and 1999 Overall Champion Chris Pimm. Unfortunately the debut year for MG proved to be a struggle, with Gill not appearing at most rounds leaving Pimm to fly the flag for MG. Pimm would ultimately finish 2nd in the drivers championship, 40 points behind eventual champion Mike Bell. Gill would only finish 9th in the drivers standings after missing the Silverstone and Mondello rounds and then unable to make the final 3 rounds of the championship. This would leave MG, 3rd in the Teams standings behind both Vauxhall teams with 4 wins for Pimm and 1 for Gill.
===2002===
2002 would see Pimm leave the team to head for pastures-new at Proton. This left MG with 2 free cars, so they signed rookies Jaz Everitt and Jess Moore to drive their factory ZS's. After Everitt and Moore were frequent no-shows during the start of the season, they were replaced by South African rookie John Park and BTCO ace Jake Black coming out of retirement for one more go. Black would be instantly back on pace with poles in every round he competed in, but would only manage one win and one podium in the season. Park meanwhile had a difficult season as a rookie but consistently finished races with only one retirement for the season. Unfortunately, this led to MG finishing only 8th in the Teams standings, a substantial fall from grace from 2001 after finishing 3rd there.
===2003===
For 2003 MG would expand to a 3-car factory team which unfortunately meant that the Indpendent Team Atomic Kitten effort was discontinued. Jumping from Proton David Osborne would lead the effort with Atomic Kitten refugees Jeffrey Ellis and Bradley Sellars getting the call for promotion to the factory team.
