Alongside their British GT commitments, Speedworks also become one of the first teams to compete with a fullNext Generation Touring Car specification car in theBritish Touring Car Championship with aToyota Avensis driven byTony Hughes in2011.[3] They missed the third round of the championship atThruxton in order to fix the technical problems they had been experiencing with the new car in the opening rounds.[4] The team returned at the following round atOulton Park where they scored their best result of the season with fourteenth place in race two, but they were forced to miss theCroft round due to continuation of their power steering problems.[5] The team raced again atSnetterton and then skipped the next two rounds before racing in the final two events of the year.

The following season they expanded to a two car team, with a second car forGinetta GT Supercup champion,Adam Morgan alongside Hughes.[6] On two occasions, former BTCC race winnerPaul O'Neill deputised for Hughes due to the latter driver's business commitments, the first being at Croft.[7] O'Neill replaced Hughes once again atKnockhill.[8] In race two he finished fourth to achieve Speedworks' best result in the BTCC. At the end of the season Speedworks were 10th in the teams' standings and sixth in the independent teams' standings. At the end of the season Hughes announced his retirement from motor racing although he would remain involved with the team.[9] Morgan left the team to drive for his family run Cicely Racing team the following season.[10]

In November 2012, Speedworks testedDave Newsham andLea Wood atDonington Park.[11] The following month, Newsham was confirmed in the first car for the2013 season.[12]

Tom Ingram joined the team for the 2014 season. He scored two podiums in 2015, and claimed two wins and six podiums in 2016. Ingram finished third in the 2017 season, with four wins and nine podiums in 30 races.
