A relative latecomer to racing, Crees joined the BTCC grid in 2019 after spending the previous season in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup,[1] where he secured the Am Class title.

His best result would come later in the season at Silverstone Circuit, where Crees broke into the top ten for the first time.

Having switched to BTC Racing for 2020 to drive a Honda Civic Type R,[2] Crees would match his personal best result of ninth and was a regular points scorer as he secured the Jack Sears Trophy.

[3] Crees re-signed with BTC Racing for a second season but the two parted company little more than a week before the opening rounds.

[4] Instead, he signed up with Parker Revs Motorsport to contest the Porsche Supercup after Josh Webster was forced to stand down from his drive for family reasons.
