Zircotec continues Andrew Jordan partnership

British Touring Car Championship team Triple Eight Race Engineering, the current title holder, will receive technical support from heat management expert, Zircotec. The coatings specialist will continue its support of 2013 drivers’ champion Andrew Jordan as he makes a return to his former team. His new MG6 GT race car will receive Zircotec’s heat insulating ThermoHold ceramic coating to the exhaust manifold, alongside extensive use of ZircoFlex heat shielding material. The technology is used to reduce excess heat surrounding the 300 bhp-plus turbocharged engine, improving performance, reliability and durability, lasting throughout the 30-round season.

“I’m feeling incredibly motivated for 2015, having retained my key supporters in the move to Triple Eight,” says Jordan. “Zircotec’s ThermoHold coatings in particular have proven to be highly beneficial over the past few seasons, and it’s great to know the firm is still fully behind us with technical backing. The MG was the most competitive front-wheel-drive car on the grid last year, so I look forward to making further improvements this season with my experience and supporters.”

“We’re proud to continue our technical support for Jordan as he makes the transition to a team with 23 titles to its name,” says Zircotec’s managing director Terry Graham. “Effectively managing heat is a fundamental aspect of reliability in today’s high-performance touring cars. Not only will our coatings help to bring out the very best performance potential from the MG, but our collaboration also ties in well with the marque, as we’re based on the site of the former MG factory in Abingdon. For us this is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate our world-leading coatings and heat shields.”
