Statement from Mike Jordan

By

Following his accident in Silverstone’s Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship rounds yesterday, Team Eurotech Racing with John Guest driver Mike Jordan has issued the following statement:

Dear all

I’d just like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped me following my BTCC accident at Silverstone.

In particular, Dr Paul Trafford, the medical crews, rescue crews and marshals at the scene and the Coventry and Warwickshire air ambulance. Their professional care was outstanding.

I’d also like to thank Alan Gow, Bob Kettleboro and Dennis Carter from the BTCC organising team and apologise for messing up their timetable.

I’m feeling a bit groggy and my ribs are sore, but I hope to out of hospital in a day or two. I remember hitting the back of Jason Plato and then waking up in hospital! It was no one’s fault, just one of those classic racing accidents.

Finally, thanks to all the teams, drivers and fans who have shown an interest in my condition!

Best regards

Mike Jordan
