Andrew Jordan is going to take part in the British Touring Car Championship 2010 with a turbo charged Vauxhall Vectra. The team is going to be the first to use the new NGTC specification turbo charged engine.
"I’m really looking forward to the challenge of next season. It’s good for me to be continuing with the Vectra," said Jordan.
Jordan is going to drive for his own family run team, under the name of Pirtek Racing.
"It is a good feeling to be back involved with a car and our own team in the BTCC with Pirtek’s support. The package of the Vectra and the TOCA engine should be very strong and I’m sure Andrew can use his knowledge of the car to great advantage," said Mike Jordan.
While the NGTC rules are set to debut in 2011, the BTCC organizers TOCA have decided to allow a number of teams to use the new NGTC engine one year earlier.
"While some teams will undertake their own engine development programmes, this is the unbranded TOCA engine that is available for lease or purchase and, as we have already announced as part of the BTCC’s future, will significantly reduce their running budgets," said series organizer Alan Gow.
The car is going to be showed at the Autosport International Show in January.
