3 is the Magic Number for Jordan

MG’s new race star, Andrew Jordan, laid down the gauntlet when he visited the iconic Longbridge factory to mark the three month countdown to the start of the new season.

With the start of the BTCC season just three months away, MG’s new championship contender, Andrew Jordan recently visited the Longbridge plant to collect his new MG3.

Jordan will be looking to repeat his 2013 Championship win, with MG and Triple 8 keen to retain the Constructor’s title, captured last year.

Andrew was joined by his father Mike and representatives from Pirtek UK, MG’s new partner for the 2015 season.

With his Triple Eight race engineered MG6 GT now ready to begin pre-season testing programme, Andrew is understandably keen to get going: “I just can’t wait to get started. I think we’re going to have a really competitive season and there’s a few things that we’re looking to try out that I’m confident will help us bring even more out of the MG6, which has proven to be a really competitive package. Make no mistake about it, I’m here to win.”

While excited about his prospects in the MG6, Andrew’s also looking forward to getting behind the wheel of its little brother. “I love the MG3, it’s a really funky little machine. I love the detail in everything down to the seats and even the red trim on the mats. I’m looking forward to giving it a good run out when we go testing in February and March.

MG’s Head of Marketing, Matthew Cheyne, said: “It was a real pleasure to welcome Andrew, Mike and the team from Pirtek UK to Longbridge. We’re confident that with Andrew and Triple Eight Racing in tandem, we are going to have a great year on the track. But we’re also very excited at the prospects off track too as we develop relationships with our new team partners Pirtek Racing.”

The first race of the 2015 season will be at the world-famous Brand’s Hatch circuit on the weekend of April 4/5
