Dan Welch rejoins grid with Team HARD

By

Dan Welch will make a return to the BTCC grid from this weekend after agreeing a deal to join Team HARD.

Welch, who last raced in the series back in 2016, will take the place of Jake Hill in one of the two Volkswagen CCs being run under the Trade Price Cars with Brisky Racing banner and will partner Mike Bushell for the remainder of the campaign.

The 36-year-old took part in the recent test at the Norfolk circuit, lapping just over two seconds off the pace on the second day of running on his return to BTCC machinery.

Welch will carry 45kg of ballast into the weekend and will run with #17.
