Speedworks Motorsport (2012)

He was the 2011 Ginetta GT Supercup champion, for winning the championship he received a fully funded drive in the 2012 British Touring Car Championship with Speedworks Motorsport paid for by Ginetta. Morgan matched the pace of test driver James Thompson in his first winter test session. He did not finish any of the races in his first meeting at Brands Hatch, he crashed out of the first race and was unable to start the second race. He was caught up in a multi car pileup in race three after oil was deposited on the track by Mat Jackson's car. He started on pole position for the reversed grid third race at Rockingham but lost the lead on the opening lap in the wet conditions, he went on to finish 11th. He took a best finish of 8th in the penultimate round of the season at Silverstone and he finished the season 19th in the drivers' standings.
