Aston Barclay plc has renewed its sponsorship with Team JCT600/GardX frontrunner Sam Tordoff ahead of the upcoming 2016 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) season.
The UK’s third-largest vehicle remarketing group will support Tordoff for a second consecutive season as he looks to build upon a promising first year with the West Surrey Racing team, which carries the name of JCT600, the Tordoff family motor group and GardX.
The deal will see Aston Barclay’s logo appear on Sam Tordoff’s #600 BMW 125i M Sport and race suit, as he once again partners with fellow BTCC winner, Rob Collard.
Tordoff will be aiming to utilise Aston Barclay’s continued backing for another push at the title this season, following a successful 2015 in which the Bradford-born driver registered two wins at Oulton Park and Croft in his maiden year in a rear-wheel-drive BTCC car.
A further three podiums at Croft, Thruxton and Silverstone enabled Tordoff to finish ahead of tin-top veterans Collard and Andy Priaulx in a very respectable sixth in the 2015 Drivers’ Championship.
Aston Barclay’s dedicated customer base will be able to cheer Tordoff onto greater success throughout a ten-round, 30-race 2016 season that visits the UK’s best circuits, starting at Brands Hatch on April 2 and finishing at this same circuit in early October.
David Scarborough, Aston Barclay plc Commercial Director, commented on the renewed partnership, “Aston Barclay is proud to support Sam’s championship assault again in 2016. As the UK’s leading national motorsport series, we recognise the British Touring Car Championship as a series that our customers are truly passionate about. We have 10 weekends a year for car enthusiasts to get close to the action, at a venue close to where they live. It works brilliantly and we look forward to enjoying the BTCC with our customers throughout the season and experience many great moments with this team.”
