Andrew Jordan to race in BTCC for another three seasons

Andrew Jordan will race in the British Touring Car Championship for at least another three seasons after signing a new deal with sponsors Pirtek to run until the end of 2018.

The 26-year-old’s deal with Pirtek dates back to 2004 when the company first became involved with Jordan and his father Mike, and they have since backed him in both Rallycross and touring cars.

And the 2013 BTCC champion is hopeful the new deal will help him challenge for another title.

“There is tremendous loyalty from both sides of this partnership and I’m extremely proud to extend our contract with Pirtek for another three seasons,” said Jordan.

“I’m absolutely delighted to be able to plan ahead with the knowledge that I have a proactive, supportive and incredibly enthusiastic sponsor alongside me. This long-term commitment will allow me to be in the best position to challenge for more race wins and another BTCC title.”

Pirtek marketing manager Tammie Argent-Peters added: “When we first agreed to sponsor Andrew he was an exciting but unproven prospect. But together, we have seen him grow to become one of the sport’s leading and most popular contenders.”

Jordan is currently carrying the Pirtek branding for Triple Eight Racing and sits sixth in the 2015 standings, after leaving the previously family-run Eurotech Racing squad at the end of last season.
