British Touring Car Championship
editIt was announced on 6 December 2016 that Proctor would drive in theBritish Touring Car Championshipfor the 2017 season, withPower Maxed Racing,driving a factory supportedVauxhall Astra.[3]Team Principal Adam Weaver, said, "I'm so excited to have Senna onboard. It's fantastic to once again be supporting young talent, as we did with Josh Cook in 2015. I think Senna will cope with the added pressure this drive brings as he seems to have a very old head on young shoulders. In Senna, we have signed a driver who we can build a long-term relationship with and turn into a future champion."
In the opening round of the season at the Brands Hatch Indy Circuit, Proctor slid off the track in wet conditions in his first BTCC qualifying session.[4]He did manage to qualify in 16th position, however, with his teammateTom Chiltonin 12th.[5]He ended the year 19th in the standings and claimed the Jack Sears trophy for rookie drivers.
