Andrew Jordan: “Everyone should be proud of this car”

Andrew Jordan has praised the West Surrey Racing team for the work that has gone into building the new BMW 330i M Sport that he will campaign in the British Touring Car Championship this season.

Jordan will sample the car for the first time at Brands Hatch today [Tuesday] after WSR unveiled the livery for his Pirtek Racing-backed car, which is one of three new 3 Series that will run in the series this season.

Former champion Jordan heads into the new campaign looking to launch a championship challenge in his third year as part of the WSR line-up and he admitted he couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel of his new machine.

“The work that has gone into the new BMW Pirtek Racing 3 Series in such a short amount of time is incredible and I think the end result looks fantastic,” he said. “I have to say a massive thank you to all of the team, and everyone else who has been involved in the build, as they have really pulled out all the stops to get the car ready for the start of the season.

“As a road car, the new BMW 3 Series is a seriously good looking machine and that’s certainly something that has carried across to the racing version. The design work that has gone into it is second to none, and the end result is a hugely impressive car that I think the whole team should feel very proud of.

“The 3 Series also really suits the new look Pirtek Racing livery that we’ll debut this season, which combines our traditional colours with flashes of white. Throughout my time with Pirtek, I’ve been lucky enough to race in some good-looking cars, but I think that the new BMW in our 2019 livery is the best of the lot.

“Whilst it is always a step into the unknown when you drive a new car for the first time, I’m hugely excited about getting behind the wheel of the BMW Pirtek Racing 3 Series for the first time, and the start of the season can’t come soon enough.”
