Race ace Aiden Moffat has announced that he will contest the 2017 British Touring Car Championship, again in partnership with Laser Tools Racing.

Making the announcement he said, “We’ve improved our Mercedes a lot over the 2016 season and we’ve got a lot of development planned before the 2017 season starts. I’ve had a full year now with race engineer Federico Turrata and we have a definite bond, we know how each thinks, and this has shown in race results.” He added, “At the closing rounds at Brands the car just felt right, I had great pace and I could place it wherever I wanted. With this confidence and the new TOCA engine, we’re in a great position for going into the 2017 season.”

Moffat took a well deserved podium in the final race of the 2016 campaign at Brands Hatch, ending the Dunlop MSA BTCC season with three top 10 finishes. The 2017 season will be Moffat’s fourth, and he is still only 20 years old.
