  • Silverline Chevrolet Confirm Their Return in Btcc 2011
    For Immediate Release – Wednesday 16 th March 2011 SILVERLINE CHEVROLET CONFIRM THEIR RETURN IN BTCC 2011 Defending champions, RML Silverline-Chevrolet have confirmed they will make their much anticipated return this year to the UK's favourite motor racing series, the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. With the ever-popular pairing of last year's champion Jason Plato and rising star Alex MacDowall officially signed up, the team is looking ahead with excitement to the opening round which takes place at Brands Hatch in less than three weeks on 2 nd & 3 rd April. Joining the field again this year is the fiercely competitive RML-run Silverline Chevrolet Cruze which will appear in a different guise as Jason and Alex get to grips with the 2010 WTCC chassis, as raced to Drivers' and Manufacturers' titles with Yvan Muller, Rob Huff, Alain Menu and RML – the touring car giants of the modern era - in the FIA World Touring Car Championship. The Wellingborough-based squad has yet to unveil the striking 2011 challenger in full livery with the complete group of partners, which will take place at the BTCC Media Day, Silverstone, on 24 th March. But a successful test on the Brands Hatch Indy track last week alongside other series' front-runners saw the Cruzes run for the first time on UK soil in BTCC trim since their return from Macau last December. The team is confident they've got the package to beat with Jason, Alex and a technically advanced Silverline Chevrolet Cruze that looks set to be even more impressive on track than its predecessor.

  • Btcc Champs Bound for Birmingham
    BTCC CHAMPS BOUND FOR BIRMINGHAM Hometown heroes Andrew Jordan and Matt Neal and fellow British Touring Car Champion Gordon Shedden are the first drivers to join the guest list for Autosport International 2015 at Birmingham’s NEC. With another big season in the popular Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship set to conclude this weekend at Brands Hatch, the Honda trio will appear on the Saturday and Sunday of the 8-11 January show, as Autosport International celebrates its 25thanniversary. Earlier this year, three months after securing his maiden BTCC title in the dramatic 2013 season finale, Jordan celebrated with local fans at the show. The Pirtek Racing driver started his title defence strongly, with a pair of victories, however a tough mid-season run at Snetterton and Knockhill hurt his chances. With four victories, Jordan is fifth in the 2014 standings heading to this weekend’s final round, and also claimed a podium in a one-off FIA World Rallycross Championship appearance at Lydden Hill. “Winning the British Touring Car Championship in 2013 is something I’ll always remember, and being able to share that with so many enthusiastic, local fans at Autosport International in January was special,” Jordan said. “While ultimately this season hasn’t gone our way, we’re already planning for 2015, and Autosport International will be a great way to kick off the new year.” Three-time champion Neal and 2012 titlist Shedden showed off their new Honda Civic Tourer at Autosport International 2014, with the estate attracting plenty of attention from BTCC fans. It has been a race winner in the hands of both drivers, with Shedden currently third in the championship and Neal eighth.
