2015 Clio Cup UK champion to get BTCC test

By

The champion of the 2015 Renault UK Clio Cup is going to get a test day with BTCC team Motorbase as prize.

“Our tyre in the Clio Cup incorporates some of the technologies that we use in the Dunlop Sport Maxx BTCC tyres, so it helps to prepare drivers for the step to touring car racing. Racing in the Clio Cup also enables the young drivers to build a relationship with our technicians who work very closely with all the touring car teams,” said Dunlop’s European Motorsport Manager Micky Butler.

“This test gives the new Clio Cup Champion an early opportunity to gain experience of the Sport Maxx and of course one of the best prepared BTCC cars – given the increasing depth of talent on the Clio Cup grid, the winner will richly deserve their prize.”

Last year saw champion Mike Bushell testing for Motorbase, helping the 25-year-old to get a drive with AmD Tuning in the 2015 British Touring Car Championship.

Renault UK Clio Cup runs as a support class to the BTCC.
