Andrew Jordan’s Pirtek WSR livery revealed

The West Surrey Racing-run BMW that Andrew Jordan will use for his 2017 BTCC campaign has been officially unveiled on the opening day of the Autosport International Show in Birmingham.

Jordan will once again run under the Pirtek Racing banner this season despite moving to a new team, with reigning Independents’ champion being the first driver to have signed with WSR for the season ahead.

The 27-year-old tested the BMW prior to Christmas in an interim livery and is due to return to action next month when the latest phase of pre-season testing gets underway.

“I don’t think there is any doubt that the Pirtek Racing BMW will be the best looking car on the BTCC grid this season,” he said. “The chrome blue really stood out on track last year, but I think it looks even better on the 1 Series. The Pirtek Racing colours and the BMW are just a great fit; they complement each other perfectly.

“Since the testing we did prior to Christmas, the team has been hard at work on making improvements to what was already an extremely good car and I’m looking forward to getting back behind the wheel when we return to the track next month.

“We want to make sure that when we get to Brands Hatch for the season opener, we are challenging for pole position and race wins.

“If the Pirtek Racing BMW goes even half as well as it looks, then we’ll certainly be firmly in the mix at the front of the pack.”
