First pictures: Third Motorbase NGTC Focus on track

Motorbase Performance’s third Next Generation Touring Car-specification Ford Focus has had its maiden track outing, in the hands of Michael Caine.

The as-yet unliveried machine completed its first laps today at Snetterton, ahead of its introduction later in the season.

Although it is sporting the Airwaves colours, the car will be run alongside the Addison Lee-branded Super 2000 Focus of Liam Griffin, under the watchful eye of team manager Andy Dean.

Mat Jackson and Aron Smith were also testing at the Norfolk track in the the team’s other two NGTC cars.

Caine previously raced for Motorbase in the British Touring Car Championship in 2011, making his debut at Rockingham and also competing in the the penultimate round at Brands Hatch. He scored a best result of 10th in his first race.
