Turkington back for Japan and Macau with Aviva

By

Colin Turkington and WSR are going to be back for the two final FIA World Touring Car Championship races of the year in Japan and Macau.
“I’m excited to be back behind the wheel of the BMW, as it’s been three months since I last raced,” said Turkington.

Aviva supported the team three years ago when Turkington took part in the WTCC finale at Macau.

“Also, it is great to be working with Aviva again, after a successful trip to Macau in 2007. I hope to be able to repeat my successes from earlier this year,” said Turkington.

Turkington’s car is going to be painted in bright yellow, the colors of Aviva-Investors.

“We are delighted to be able to work with Aviva to deliver their brand to the millions of people in Japan and China especially thanks to the very good TV package from Eurosport and local terrestrial TV stations. China is a very important market for Aviva-Cofco, so we will work with Aviva as our partner, to give them maximum exposure,” said team boss Dick Bennetts.

Chief Executive of Aviva Asia Pacific, Simon Machell, is excited over working with the team again.

“We are delighted to sponsor WSR and Colin Turkington in Okayama and Macau. The WTCC is a compelling event that exudes the passion, commitment and camaraderie that sits at the very heart of our business. It also provides us with a unique and powerful platform with which to increase our brand awareness and interact with our valued customers and partners as one unified brand. We wish the WSR team and Colin all the very best of luck and look forward to two exiting races,” said Machell.
