GPR Motorsport today unveiled the latest NGTC Toyota Avensis racer to compete in the British Touring Car Championship in 2012.
The car is an updated version of the 2011 car being raced by Frank Wrathall and Tony Hughes in this year’s championship. One of the most significant changes is to the design of the car, as the updated machine reflects the updtaed styling to the Avensis road car.
Commenting on the changes, GPRM’s Gary Blackham said: “There is a lot more airflow through the new front end and that will aid engine cooling and performance, with more air flowing to the intercooler. But the new front end and styling changes are not the end of the story, because many lessons were learned during the Toyota’s maiden season of competition and there are significant changes under the skin also.”
The car is on display to BTCC fans in the Silverstone paddock this weekend and, according to some, several teams are considering running one in next season’s championship on the back of the recent improved form displayed by Wrathall and his Dynojet team.
