DigiPlat Racing compete in a variety of championships across Britain and Europe. Keep an eye out for us racing with the Britcar Endurance Championship, Ramair BMW Championship, CSCC Slicks, and at selected events with Dutch Supercar Challenge. We'll be at Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, Brands Hatch, Donington Park, Snetterton, and Oulton Park at various points this year.
DigiPlat Racing’s M3 GTR is one of the most famous and successful BMWs racing in the UK. The car can trace its history back to the legendary Super Touring era in the mid-late 90s, before it was later converted to American Le Man Series-spec. Originally an E36 STW, it was campaigned by former BTCC champ Smokin' Jo Winkelhock in Japanese Touring Cars and retains the super lightweight, McLaren-designed suspension components and geometry from this original car. In 2005, the car was reshelled it into an E46 and given wind tunnel-tested aerodynamic parts. Combine these components with a highly-tuned S54 engine, Drenth DG400 HD sequential gearbox (with flatshift and auto-blip), Bosch Motorsport ABS system, and Motec adjustable traction control, and you have one of the best-handling, fastest race cars competing in Britain today. No expense was spared in the design and construction of this thoroughbred, and its reputation as arguably the best BMW M3 in Europe continues to this day.
Prior to us taking ownership, the car won countless races and several championship titles in Dutch Supercars, winter GT series in Italy (including the 6 hours of Misano), Britcar, and GT Cup in the UK.
Nathan Wells’ motorsport background is one shared by many in motorsport, in that he had to wait until relatively late in life to get the opportunity to test his mettle in circuit racing. Lack of funds meant Nathan had to settle for two wheels growing up, competing in and winning in motorcycle trials at a national level as a teenager, before moving onto track days in his road cars throughout his 20s. Nathan eventually founded DigiPlat Racing and competed in the CMMC Production Saloons championship to build his experience, finishing a creditable 3rd his rookie season, despite an underpowered car compared to many of his competitors.
After moving up the ranks into other series like Britcar, Nathan has continued to deliver impressive results. In 2020, Nathan took wins and pole positions in Britcar, before enduring a 'character building' year in 2021. 2022 represented a return to form, with Nathan bagging multiple class wins and pole positions in the Liqui Moly Slicks Series and New Millennium Series. More of the same followed in 2023 and 2024, when Nathan augmented his racing calendar with outings and wins in the highly-competitive Ramair BMW Championship. The 2024 season was particularly impressive, with Nathan bagging 7 wins out 16 races, a further 3 podiums, 6 pole positions, and 8 fastest laps.
In 2025, Nathan ran a combined calendar Ramair and Britcar, scoring 9 wins out of 18 races, 7 pole positions, a remarkable 14 podiums, and no fewer than 11 fastest laps. The highlight of the season was undoubtedly the legendary Britcar Into The Night Race at Brands Hatch, where Nathan took 2nd place overall on a massive grid, only being bested in the closing stages by a Porsche Cup Car being driven by a McLaren factory GT driver!
2026 has been a continuation of the stellar form in 2025, where Nathan has again proven himself to be one of the fastest non-professional racing drivers in the UK with wins across Europe and Britain.
