It was confirmed earlier today at the Autosport International Show that Andy Priaulx will return to the BTCC this season, driving for West Surrey Racing alongside Sam Tordoff and one other – as yet unconfirmed – driver.
In other recent news, Nick Foster has confirmed his retirement, and 2013 Champion Andrew Jordan has moved from family-run team Eurotech (of which 2015 returnee Jeff Smith is now co-owner) to the 888 MG outfit, along with his Pirtek sponsorship.
It also looks as though Honda will return with Dynamics and Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden, but it looks likely they’ll run the new Type R instead of the Estate.
I for one an thrilled to see Priaulx back, and the car looks amazing!
