For 1993, despite better results than Todaro at Peugeot, Ylitalo left the team, eventually signing with Team Dynamics to try and win the Independent title. Ylitalo achieved a fantastic 5th place finish at Pembrey and eventually won the Independent championship. Before the end of the season, Ylitalo announced that he would be leaving Team Dynamics and the series to focus on his sportscar career, but was open to a return to the BTCC in the future.
