He filled the third seat of the Wednesbury team's planned four-car entry, marking a welcome return for the Foster name back to the British Touring Car Championship package.

Harry's father Nick having competed in the BTCC between 2011 and 2014 – the 14-year-old's arrival in Ginetta Junior comes off the back of a seven-year tenure in karting.

Starting out at the tender age of seven, Foster Jnr has mainly competed at club level since that time and claimed his first title, the IAME Cadet Karting Championship at Hampshire's Forest Edge Kart Club, in 2013.

Thrilled to welcome Foster to TCR's line-up, team principal Lee Brookes said: "We've been talking to Nick for a good while about Harry joining us in Ginetta Junior.

"We're absolutely over the moon he's going to be racing with TCR next season.

"There's obviously a lot to learn, but the Juniors are the perfect place to do that for drivers coming fresh out of karting and he's gone well in testing so far.

"Harry obviously has a great family behind him and he has all of his dad's experience to learn from too.

"We're all really looking forward to working with Harry and getting a full testing programme underway in the New Year before the season starts."
