For 2002 he made the move up to the BTCC with Gary Ayles Motorsport in the Production class.

Over the course of the season he picked up four Production class podiums, his best result a second place at Thruxton and eventually finishing 7th in the Production class championship.

For 2005 he moved to the SEAT Cupra Championship, finishing 3rd four times and taking 5th in the championship. In 2006 he finished 2nd in the championship, again his consistency playing part with only one win but 10 podium finishes and one lap record at Knockhill. At the end of 2006 Blencowe was asked to test for the Seat factory team at Rockingham after his impressive season in the Seat Cupra Cup. He stayed at Triple R for one more year driving the new SEAT León, winning two races before he left the series after a huge accident at Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit caused by the pole sitter.
In 2008 Blencowe was asked to drive for Synchro Motorsport ( Honda factory Swindon ) which he did for two races until the car caught fire at Snetterton after an oil leak and burnt the car out.
