The Dunlop BTCC stand is set to be one of the main attractions at this year’s Autosport International at the NEC in Birmingham (8-11 January).
Championship winning quartet Gordon Shedden, Matt Neal, Andrew Jordan and reigning supremo Colin Turkington will be making several appearances throughout the week, including interviews on the main Autosport and MN stands. Jason Plato, Rob Austin and Adam Morgan are just some of the other tin-top racers visiting the world’s biggest racing car show.
It’s not just drivers that’ll be starring on the main stand as a major BTCC machine for 2015 will be unveiled there tomorrow at 11:30am – be sure to visit btcc.net and our social media channels for crucial live updates.
The new Infiniti Q50 will feature on the BTCC stand in a fresh looking livery, as will Andrew Jordan’s Pirtek MG – just 24 hours after news broke of his sensational switch to the British manufacturer. The first ever estate style car to win a BTCC race will also be on show in the shape of Honda’s Civic Tourer, whilst one of the most popular cars on the grid – Sherman – will also be there. There’s a whole host of other BTCC cars being exhibited at the show, including Laser Tools Racing’s all-new Mercedes A Class.
It’s the BTCC stand that will boast the bulk of the action, however, with interviews, driver signings and fan fuelled Q&A’s filling out the four days of activities.
The full timetable is below and be sure to come over and say ‘hi’ at the Dunlop BTCC stand in Hall 6 – see you there!
