Max Buxton is a British touring car driver competing in the British Touring Car Championship for Speedworks Corolla Racing. Since his entry into the series in 2025, he has contested 19 races across two seasons without securing a win or podium finish. His average finishing position stands at P17.4, placing him in the lower half of the grid against a field of professional and semi-professional competitors. His strongest showings have come in isolated results; he has finished ahead of established names such as four-time champion Ash Sutton and former champion Jake Hill on single occasions, though these represent individual race performances rather than sustained competitive patterns.[1]
Against his most frequent rivals, Buxton has consistently struggled. In 17 shared races with Gordon Shedden, a former champion rated among the field's elite, Buxton finished ahead zero times. His record against Aiden Moffat and two-time champion Tom Ingram follows a similar pattern of being outpaced repeatedly; across 17 races with Moffat he managed just one finish ahead, and across 16 with Ingram, none. He has shown marginally better results against lower-rated competitors such as Mikey Doble and Sam Osborne, finishing ahead in two of seventeen races apiece. This head-to-head record indicates Buxton remains at the entry level of the championship despite his two seasons of experience.[2]
Buxton was confirmed for the 2026 season with Speedworks Corolla Racing alongside Josh Cook, a significantly stronger driver rated at 5,197. However, in July 2026, after four rounds of the season, he was replaced by Ryan Bensley, suggesting his tenure as a regular driver has ended. His career to date marks an amateur-level competitive standing in a professional series.
