The newly acquired NGTC Ford Focus for Dave Newsham

Dave Newsham has confirmed that he is delighted to be with AmDtuning.com for the 2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season and will be racing their newly acquired NGTC Ford Focus. This is the car that produced many good finishes in the hands of Mat Jackson with Airwaves Racing last season and marks AMD's first foray with a NGTC car.

Dave went on to say that there were "Two announcements here; first the announcement that I am moving on from Speedworks, with whom I have enjoyed working during the 2013 season. I wish them well for the future would thank them for the opportunity they gave me last year. Looking ahead, I can hardly wait to get started with my new team AmD and there are many reasons why AmD was top of my list for 2014."

"Firstly there is the team. Shaun Hollamby, team principle of AmD, is a former BTCC driver; he knows exactly what it is like to be in my shoes. I respect him highly and he runs a professional operation with very experienced personnel. Secondly there is the car. We will be running an ex Motorbase (Airwaves Racing) NGTC Ford Focus. The car is very developed and was seen regularly on the podium towards the end of the 2013 season. It also has the Mountune Ford engine, regarded as one of the best engines on the grid too. So in essence, the whole package should be a marriage made in heaven."

Shaun Hollamby of AmD was also in bullish mood at this announcement. "AmDtuning.com is delighted to have Dave Newsham in the driving seat of our Ford Focus in the 2014 Dunlop British Touring Car Championship. The level of competition on the grid means that every element of the team has to be at a very high level to succeed and Dave has shown race winning speed and race craft since entering the BTCC. AmDtuning.com is looking forward to providing him with the tools to be a regular podium contender."

Dave is a proven race winner in the BTCC

Dave and Shaun will be at Autosport International in January together with the AmD Ford Focus, where they will welcome you to come along for chat and have a close up look at the car with all its logos in place.
