Daniel Lloyd to test for Triple Eight

Youngster Daniel Lloyd is going to test for Triple Eight during the official BTCC test at Rockingham next week.
“This is an absolutely fantastic opportunity for me. I want to thank (Triple Eight principal) Ian Harrison and my manager Tim Sugden for his help in securing this test deal,” said Lloyd.

“Driving a touring car has been my goal since I started racing karts in 2003, so to have the chance to drive a car as competitive as the ex-works Vectra – and with a team as successful as Triple Eight – is incredible,” said Lloyd.

Lloyd had previously driven karts, Clio Cup, Ginetta and most recently Skip Barber Mazda in the USA. His manager Tim Sugden, who used to take part in the BTCC, is pleased over the opportunity for Lloyd to test for a top BTCC team.

“Professional motorsport is where we want Daniel to be and we acknowledge a test with a vastly experienced team like Triple Eight is an important step. We’re very much aiming at a future in touring cars and GT racing so this test is a great opportunity for Daniel to gain valuable experience and to have the chance to show what he can do in a top-line car,” said Sugden.
