Jonathan Adam confirmed for Motorbase

Jonathan Adam has been confirmed as the second Motorbase Performance driver for the British Touring Car Championship 2009. The 24 year old Scotsman was Cura Cup champion in 2007 and 2008.
“This is a huge opportunity for me and I have to thank David Bartrum and Motorbase Performance for giving me the chance to drive in the BTCC,” said Adam.

Adam tested for Motorbase Performance at the end of the 2008 season at Brands Hatch where he impressed the team greatly.

“I’m delighted to have secured Jonathan Adam for the 2009 season. We tested him last October having come to us very highly recommended, and his professional approach impressed us.

From the first moment we started working with him in the garage and in the car we realised he was keen to learn and very ambitious,” said team boss David Bartrum.

Adam will team up with already confirmed Rob Collard in the BMW-team. The Scotsman’s previous experiences span from gocart to Formula Ford and Renault Clio.

“This is another big step up but the BMW 320si is a great car and Motorbase is an ambitious team determined to move forward very quickly, and I want to help it do that. The team has found some very good set up options from last season and understands how to make the car perform, so I think we will show good pace throughout the year,” said Adam.

The season start of the BTCC 2009 is three weeks away and the young Scotsman is eager to go. The goal for him is to challenge for podiums and a win.

“The goal is to get podiums and challenge for a win as soon as possible. I can’t wait to get started,” said Adam.

Motorbase Performance BMW will also unveil its new 2009 livery and sponsorship partners at the high-profile event.
