Team HARD have begun their pre-season testing programme ahead of the new British Touring Car Championship season at Croft.
With Mike Bushell’s machine for the new campaign prepared, the Renault UK Clio Cup champion got behind the wheel of his new chariot alongside two of his new team-mates, Bobby Thompson and Michael Caine.
The team are set to clock up further mileage at Snetterton, Brands Hatch and Thruxton before heading to the official Season Launch at Donington Park on March 27th.
“I’m absolutely buzzing with excitement to see the first of our new 2018 VW CCs take to the track today at Croft,” commented Team Principal Tony Gilham.
“In what has been an amazing winter period for the team we have improved in all areas and essentially developed an all-new package for the coming season.
“Initial feedback from the drivers, engineers and the rest of the crew fills us with confidence for the year ahead. It looks amazing on-track and very much looking forward to revealing the new livery and partners in the coming weeks.”
