We believe that this document identifies exactly why the BTCC is ‘the only show in town.” Alan Gow BTCC Series Director 1 Welcome Tony Gilham - Team Owner “Motorsport started for me with track days in my own car 20 years ago. My instructor told me that I should pursue a career in racing. In 1999 I raced against BTCC stars of the past Matt Jackson and James Pickford. However, it wasn’t until 2005 that I could really get into motor racing due to budget restrictions. In 2005 I entered the ‘cheap as chips’ championship of MR2 racing, winning the championship at the first time of asking. For 2006 we entered the VW cup which we are still in today. We won the championship in 2007 and moved to the Porsche Carrera cup in 2008-2010. 2011 was the breakthrough, securing a deal to race in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). We picked up podium finishes and independent wins in 2012 which is a fantastic achievement for such a new team. However, 2013 was the year that Team HARD Racing Limited was formed. This was the year that we started fielding other drivers in our cars and not just myself. We are approaching our 6th year as a professional team and we are going from strength to strength. We have gone from running one car in 2013 to 40 cars in 2018. A small family run team is now one of the biggest in the UK. I’m still pinching myself and I can’t thank my partners enough. We use Motorsport as an activation method which is essentially an extensive and varied business hub and one of the largest networking events in the UK. We have a dedicated team that work for our partners to deliver unrivalled value for money opportunities and head up what is a unique concept.

  • AERODYNAMICS BTCC Wing Scandal
    www.racetechmag.com 44 AERODYNAMICS BTCC wing scandal “The wing’s in the boot, sir!” Andrew Charman looks back UNDAY May 29 1994, Oulton Park, Cheshire – the British Touring Car Championship’s 2-litre era, soon to become renowned as Super Touring, two decades to an aerodynamic Sis at its height. Thousands of spectators are pouring into the circuit even controversy that changed Touring to watch qualifying for the following day’s round seven of the series. As the crowds head in, however, the red transporters of the Alfa Corse Car racing, and discusses whether Alfa Romeo team are already heading out of the gate and on the long road back to their base in Turin, Italy. it could ever happen again Oulton Park marked the tipping point of an increasingly bitter battle over aerodynamics that had been raging ever since the two Alfa Romeo 155s arrived in the BTCC at Thruxton in early April, and then proceeded to win five of the first six races. Giorgio Pianta, head of the Italian manufacturer’s Alfa Corse motorsport division, had seized upon what he saw as a loophole in the technical regulations and exploited it to overcome an aerodynamic deficiency with his cars. Others cried foul, the fallout eventually reached the RAC tribunal room, and the result would within months fundamentally change 2-litre Touring Car racing. Peter Riches, today the technical director of the BTCC, was during those controversial days in only his second year as series chief scrutineer. Two decades on, he is confident that the modern-day BTCC, with its NGTC regulations, could never again become embroiled in the arguments that characterised the 1994 season.
