Alan Morrison confirmed for Team Aon

By

As TouringCarTimes exclusively reported more than two weeks ago – Alan Morrison returns to the British Touring Car Championship with Team Aon.
“My deal has come together very late, but I’m really looking forward to racing with Mike and the team again,” said Morrison.

The 38 year old is going to drive the all new Ford Focus along side team mate Tom Chilton. Team boss Mike Earle is thrilled to have Morrison onboard.

“It has taken Alan a while to get his deal sorted and that’s not surprising in these hard economic times, but I’m delighted he’s done it and very happy to have him back.

He hasn’t had any preparation and it will be tough for him to start with, but he will get there,” said Earle.

Due to the lateness of the closure of the deal, Morrison has missed all pre season testing and will arrive at the BTCC premiere this weekend at Brands Hatch with little knowledge of the new car.

“I’ve not driven anything for five years and haven’t had a chance to try the Focus yet so this first event is really going to be a test session for me. I know the team will do a fantastic job and make the challenge enjoyable,” said Morrison.
