During the autumn of 2005 Xero purchased two
Lexus IS200 cars that had previously been raced in Production form in the Dutch Touring Car Championship. The program was initially suspended in spring 2006, as the team had failed to secure sufficient backing to allow them to compete in the series. However, in the weeks following the opening rounds at Brands Hatch, the team agreed a deal with Adam Jones, with significant sponsorship from engineering firmAir Cool Engineering . The team made their debut in round three atOulton Park , and although they have had a number of problems with the car, they scored their first ever BTCC points atDonington Park (on July 30), where Adam Jones finished in 10th place in race 2. The team temporarily withdrew from the series to concentrate on development work on the Lexus after Donington Park, returning atKnockhill on the first weekend of September.Xero Competition have also fielded cars in various Radical series, and have continued to do so this season alongside the British Touring Car programme. Where Junior Ginetta champion Toby Newton achieved several podium finishes in the Radical championship and the "Radical World Cup" supporting the LMES round at
Donington Park and also atSpa Francorchamps in Belgium, Toby finished 4th overall in the 2006 championship.External links
