Mike Jordan and Team Eurotech will return to the Brands Hatch circuit for the penultimate weekend of the 2006 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, with three races at the Kent track over the weekend of 23/24 September.
Having already finished on the podium three times this season, including winning at Mondello Park in the John Guest and Pirtek-supported Honda Integra, Jordan is looking forward to returning to the track where the season started back in April.
For the first time this season, the team will be racing at a venue where they will start the weekend with their own benchmark data for the Honda. "We've got our own data from the April meeting to work from and our pace at that event was good, so the aim is to be back up there again this weekend," said Jordan.
After the accident damage that forced Mike to miss the third race at Knockhill, the Honda has been back to the bodyshop and will be returned to its usual immaculate condition for the Brands weekend, which comprises races 25, 26 and 27 of the 30-race season.
However, with the biggest grid of the season expected to gather this weekend, he knows that the competition will be as fierce as ever. "It's going to be very busy and finding a clear lap in qualifying will be difficult. But it's the same for everyone and having as many as 23 cars on the grid just shows how strong the BTCC is at the moment."
As usual, Sunday's BTCC action will have excellent TV coverage. On ITV1, an extensive programme on Sunday afternoon will carry the third race of the day live along with highlights from the opening two races. Meanwhile, the Motors TV channel will carry live coverage from Brands Hatch throughout Sunday's racing.
