In a fantastic announcement, it can be revealed that multiple championship winning Team BMR will provide an exclusive insight into the life of a top BTCC team through their own column in the Daily Mirror and Daily Record in 2016, giving fans a unique opportunity to get up close and personal to the workings of the team from the inside.

Team BMR had a fantastic 2015 in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship with their stellar driver line up and the formidable Volkswagen CC cars. In all, Team BMR won a third of the races with 10 victories out of the 30 races in the season. With 5 second places and 9 third places, the team enjoyed huge success and were crowned HiQ Teams Championship winners, Independents Team Trophy winners, had the Independents Trophy winning driver, got 3 out of the top 4 places for independent drivers and in Jason Plato and Colin Turkington, 2 out of the top 4 drivers overall.

For Team BMR, Warren Scott said "It is a perfect partnership for us as it will give our thousands of fans a chance to see what we get up to behind the scenes and all the stories from testing throughout the season. It also gives greater exposure to all of our sponsors and at the end of the day they support us to be seen in as wide an arena as possible. With the BTCC profile on ITV and a link in with one of the biggest newspaper groups in the UK it shows that the BTCC is the place to be. We have a lot of plans for 2016 and you can read about them online in the Mirror's Touring Car section as they happen."

The quality of the team speaks for itself and we are delighted to have Warren, Vicky and the team on board for 2016. We will be going testing with them and will bring you exclusive images and content throughout the season. The BTCC is the number one motor racing series in the UK and its global TV reach and fan base make it an enduring success with fans, teams, sponsors and the media alike. Our coverage is ongoing throughout the winter as well as during the season.
