2 wins at Brands for CBT’s Jordan / British Touring Cars

CBT-backed driver Andrew Jordan got his Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship title defence away to the best possible start at Brands Hatch, scoring lights-to-flag victories in the opening two rounds.

Starting from pole position in races one and two, Jordan fended off separate challenges in each from two former champions. Jason Plato’s MG6 kept the Honda Civic honest in the season opener, whilst Gordon Shedden’s Civic Tourer latched on to Jordan’s title-winning Pirtek car in the second contest.

Despite growing pressure in each race, Jordan produced mature drives in both to take the wins and put himself in an early lead of the standings.

Andrew Jordan said: “This is what we do it for – to win. I knew I had the pace to stay in front as long as I didn’t make any mistakes. It’s another cracking result and one of the harder wins I’ve had to work for. Race three was really hard work – I didn’t have anything to fight with really. Although we didn’t have the set-up in the final one, races one and two were spot on! To put it on pole, take race one and then race two with full weight on – I’m really pleased!”

Britain’s biggest and best championship now rolls on to Donington Park where the next three rounds take place over the Easter weekend (19/20 April).
