eBay Motors announces Colin Turkington will be joining its driver line up for the 2013 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). The 2009 BTCC Champion joins Rob Collard and Nick Foster in the new NGTC specification BMW 125i M Sport cars, as they launch their three-pronged attack on the Championship.
2013
is the fourth season in the BTCC for eBay Motors, the UK’s leading
online automotive marketplace, and looks to be the most exciting yet.
Colin
Turkington said: “I’m
really excited to be back in the BTCC with eBay Motors for the 2013
season. I have a long relationship with WSR and we’ve experienced
some great success together in both the BTCC and WTCC. I am hoping
to bring that success once again this year. Getting behind the wheel
of the NGTC specification BMW will be a new challenge and I can’t
wait to be back on the grid at Brands Hatch on 31st
March.”
Rob
Collard said: “Colin and I raced together
in 2006 and his addition to the team sees us look stronger than ever.
I hope to build on last year’s strong performances and will be
looking to win races in the new BMW 125i M Sport.”
Nick Foster said “It’s
going to be fantastic having Rob and Colin as teammates this year.
I’m looking forward to learning from both of them to building on my
success with the eBay Motors team.”
