Championship leader Sam Tordoff will run a special livery this weekend in rounds 13, 14 and 15 at his home event of Croft to tie in with JCT600’s 70th anniversary.

Remaining as title sponsors for two of West Surrey Racing’s three cars for a second season, the unique platinum livery with black lettering will adorn the 27-year-old’s BMW 125i M-Sport at his home event where he enters with a one-point lead at the summit.

Speaking on the commemorative livery, Tordoff said: “It’s an honour to celebrate the platinum anniversary of JCT600 with a special livery at Croft. When I saw the first designs of the livery, I thought ‘that’s pretty cool’ and then when I saw the car in person, it looked even better.

“JCT600 started in Yorkshire, so for a local boy like me to be able to mark the 70th year of the family business in this way – and at the only Yorkshire circuit in the BTCC – makes me feel very proud.”

Tordoff will also run the livery on the WSR machine as he takes part in the BTCC shootout at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
