Andrew Jordan has confirmed that he will return to the MSA British Touring Car Championship in 2011 with the Pirtek Racing team. He returns to the sport alongside teammate Jeff Smith to form an extended line up of two Vauxhall Vectras being operated by team boos Mike Jordan.
The 2010 season saw the Pirtek team claim two victories in their maiden season, whereas Smith comes into the team with having only one race experience at Knockhill last year.
Andrew Jordan commented, "It’s great to be back in the BTCC with Pirtek Racing, we had such a strong debut last year and we have been busy building on those foundations in readiness of the upcoming season."
We now have a bigger team behind us, we have greatly increased our staffing levels and our biggest focus is to develop and improve the Vectra for an even stronger season this year. Fundamentally the Vectra is a great chassis, the engine had teething issues in its development season but Swindon, the engine builders have also been focusing on improving the performance during the winter. As a team we are confident that we will be able to once again fight for victories in the BTCC and our aim is to be Independent Drivers Champions.”
Business Development Director at Pirtek UK, Alistair Wiggins, added, "The Pirtek brand received great exposure from being part of the BTCC, which is why we have returned for a second season.
“This year the team will field two cars, and with double the technical feedback, increased development on the car, as well as increased exposure, Pirtek Racing will be looking to equal, if not better their success in 2011.”
