Joe Dalgarno has signed with Motion Motorsport ahead of his debut in the Milltek Civic Cup next season, as the team expands to a four-car entry.

The Hampshire-based driver started racing in 2018, competing in the MG Trophy and winning the overall title in 2022. A switch to the Type R Trophy occurred in 2023; however, after attending the 2025 Milltek Civic Cup finale at Brands Hatch, Joe knew where he wanted to race in 2026 and beyond.

Having already purchased a race-winning EP3 to take part next year, Joe has already completed some testing ahead of the Festive break and is looking forward to getting more seat time before the start of the 2026 season at Brands Hatch in April.

As the field grows with new talent for next year, Joe is well aware that his first season will be a challenge, one that he is excited to be taking on.

“Moving to join the Milltek Civic Cup for 2026 is the biggest move in my career so far, and I can’t express how delighted I am to be on the grid and to be a part of this fantastic championship,” Joe explains.

“As a spectator at the Brands Hatch season finale, it was great to see the close racing and high-quality on-track spectacle that the championship is known for. I’m excited to be making my debut with Motion Motorsport, a team that has a lot of experience in the Civic Cup.”

Championship Manager Jack Finlan welcomes Joe to the championship ahead of the 2026 season.

“I’m delighted to welcome Joe to the Civic Cup as he takes the next step in his motorsport career. Having worked his way up the motorsport ladder, it’s clear that Joe is already putting in the hard work ahead of competing in what is recognised as the UK’s toughest one-make tin-top series,” explained Jack.

“I’m pleased that the championship is attracting new drivers and teams ahead of the new season. They will get to go racing on one of the most exciting packages in UK Motorsport and in front of many new spectators who have yet to experience the thrill of the Civic Cup.”
