‘Couldn’t have gone any more smoothly!’ was how Trade Price Cars Racing’s Jake Hill described his and the team’s first test of their Audi S3 BTCC machine at a sunny and warm Donington Park yesterday.
​
Buoyed by the news that Hill’s team-mate, former F1 star Mark Blundell welcomes HP as his principle partner for his 2019 BTCC campaign, the Essex-based squad were delighted with progress both on and off track.

‘We worked through a very thorough programme of set-up options. My engineer Stuart and I had a detailed list, and with the weather being so kind we were able to get through absolutely everything we had planned. We shook the car down at Turweston, and even then everything was spot-on.

HILL READY FOR ACTION

With the news that the second Trade Price Cars Racing Audi S3 is now also completed, both the team and their first signing for the 2019 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship Jake Hill are ‘ready for action’ - with their second driver due to be confirmed in the very near future.
 
“It’s been brilliant going the the AUTOSPORT show last month with everything already in place. The team have completed the build of both cars now,  I have been focussing on being as prepared as possible, and most importantly finalising the programmes we have with our fabulous partners for 2019” said Hill.

“The engines arrive soon, so we will be ready to shake the cars down and will test at the end of February, with a very busy March ahead. The other driver confirmation is getting close now, but as Jake said one of the most important elements
