Support Our Paras Racing车队在2015赛季以英菲尼迪厂队的身份加入BTCC赛事,但日本制造商在该赛季仅进行三站比赛后就撤出了厂商支持,如今,Support Our Paras Racing车队已宣布从BTCC赛事中退出。
车队一度使用两台英菲尼迪Q50s赛车参赛,但因车队无法找到带有赞助的车手来驾驶第二台赛车参赛,他们的第二张参赛许可证才被BTCC赛事管理委员会收回,这让Derek Palmer(德里克-帕墨尔)成为了车队唯一征战完整赛季的车手。
车队在2016赛季被授予一张参赛许可,但车队已经确认,他们将把工作的重点转移到其他赛事上。车队负责人帕墨尔说:“对车队来说,这无疑会让人非常失望,对于车队中制造赛车的人来说更是如此。我们要感谢那些在车队困难时期给予我们帮助的各个企业,但这丝毫不会减少的失望之情。我要感谢上赛季车队的主赞助商TENA Men的大力支持,现在我们要把精力放在不同的系列赛上了。“
