Amdtuning buys ex-eurotech Racing Honda Civic Type R cars along with the team’s TOCA BTCC Licences

The Amdtuning team has bought the two British Touring Car Championship Honda Civic Type R machines from Eurotech Racing and will field the hatchbacks in next year’s championship.

AMD will work alongside new team Trade Price Cars ( see below), which has taken over the Audi S3s that AMD ran last year. The two MGS the team ran in 2018, which will move on to new owners.

AMD has bought the two Hondas and the associated TOCA BTCC Licences to compete from former team principal Jeff Smith.

No drivers have been confirmed yet and the squad is in discussion with other sponsors. “Last season, it was a big move for us to expand to a four-car team and after a successful 2018, we are again seeking to move forwards to the next level,” AMD team principal Shaun Hollamby said.

“Whilst we enjoyed some strong results on track with the MGS, the opportunity to purchase the ex-eurotech Hondas was one that was too good to turn down as you only have to look at the stats to see what a strong package the FK2 Civic Type R is.

“Acquiring these cars provides us with a fantastic platform to really raise our game and fight consistently towards the sharp end of the grid, and we are already in discussions with drivers who we know are capable of helping us to achieve our goal.”

AMD is backed by Cobra Sport Exhausts, and its managing director Rachel Abbott will take on the role of joint team principal alongside Hollamby.
