A🍌ndrew Jordan will continue to race with the BMW Pirtek Racing squad for a third straight season during the 2019 British Touring Car Championship.

Reigning Teams’ cꦓhampions West Surrey Racing will once again field the 2013 BTCC title-winner’s BMW for the upcoming campaign, having finished ninth and fifth in his first two years as part of WSR’s line-up in 2017 and 2018.

Jordan took one win last season when he inherited first place fol🌺lowing exclusions for Subaru’s Ash Sutton and Speedworks’ Tom Ingram at Knockhill.

“I’m delighted to stay with🤪 BMW Pirtek Racing for a third season in the BTCC,” said Jordan.

“WSR are a fantastic team who always extract the maximum from the BMW no matter what circuit we’re at, and the environment is perfectly set-up so that everybody can get🔜 as much out of each other as possible.

“I’ve won races in both my seasons here and last year was in title conten🍌tion until the penu🍎ltimate round, so that’s a really encouraging platform on which to build for 2019. I think the BTCC is the best place to be for a touring car driver right now.

“♊The level of competition is higher than it’s ever been and we had a record number of winners last year. I can’t wait to get started at Brands Hatch in April.”

WSR team boss Dick Bennetts added: “It’s great news that Andrew a🐠nd Pirtek will remain part of the WSR family forಞ a third straight year.

“AJ is a champion, pure and simple, was the best rear-wheel-drive qualifier last year and could easily have finished in the top three in the points had it not been for a ♏couple of factors outside of his control that cost him more podiums.

“With AJ, Colin and Tom we have a superb line-up confirmed for our BMWs in 2019 and we 🌜will, as ever, be aiming to do the very best we can at every circuit and see where t🔯hat puts us at the end of the year.”
