Touring car ace, Rob Austin and Handy Motorsport team principal, Simon Belcher unveiled the squad’s stunning new livery for 2017 at the Autosport International Show earlier this month, confirming new commercial partner Northgate Vehicle Hire.

Taking the covers off the team’s Toyota Avensis on the official Dunlop BTCC stand during the first morning of the annual motorsport extravaganza at Birmingham’s NEC, the reveal highlighted the exciting multi-year partnership Northgate is embarking on with Evesham driver Austin.

“The car is, as usual, immaculately prepared and ahead of schedule,” commented Austin.

“The striking new livery looks fantastic I think and, most importantly, it is fantastically supported.

“New for this year, we are very proud to announce a major sponsorship deal with Northgate Vehicle Hire.

“We also have continued support from Close Brothers, Kerax, Rocwood, Webb, Cobra Seats, Alsa and many others.”

With everything in place for Austin’s second BTCC campaign with Swindon-based Handy Motorsport, driver and team are looking forward to mounting a consistent front-running challenge this year having climbed the outright podium on three occasions in 2016.

Austin said: “It’s been a very long time since I have been so excited for a season’s racing and I’m determined to get back on the top step of the podium this year.

“I have never been anywhere near this confident that I have the right package to do the job.

“I’ve won races before and I’m very well placed to do some more of it this season, that’s the target we’re all setting ourselves.”
