The Pirtek Racing team head to the Brands Hatch circuit in Kent this weekend for the third round of the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. The Team’s driver Andrew Jordan is geared up for the challenges of one of the most technical circuits on the calendar and hopes to once again run at the front at what is the closest to a home circuit on the calendar for Pirtek UK.

After a strong outing at the previous round at Rockingham less than a week ago, Jordan and the Pirtek team are keen to build on their championship position after finishing all three of the races well within the points.

Jordan, who enjoys the challenges of the Brands Hatch circuit, commented, “Brands is a high speed, highly technical circuit with several cambered corners, so it can be a challenge to get the right set up on the car to suit the track. The tight high speed corners combined with the long back straight will make this circuit one which will suit the turbo power of our NGTC engine.

“We were competitive at Brands last year and after the speed shown at the last two rounds we have to be confident we will be able to challenge at the front once again. We improved in every race at Rockingham and we are certainly hoping that we can continue that improvement this weekend, the aim will be to achieve an overall podium and an Independent Class win.

“Brands Hatch is the nearest to a home circuit for Pirtek UK who are based at Acton.  We have a lot of guests coming along this weekend to cheer us on and I hope we can go out there and get the results to thank them for their support.”

The third round of the BTCC takes place this weekend with qualifying on Saturday afternoon followed by three races on Sunday. Catch the action live on ITV4 this Sunday at 11:30am.
