Ciceley Racing has recently announced plans to campaign a Mercedes-Benz A -Class in the 2014 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, paving way for the German carmaker’s debut in Britain’s premier saloon car championship at Brands Hatch next March.
The modified A -Class will be driven by former Ginetta GT Supercup Champion Adam Morgan, who currently sits in seventh position in the 2013 BTCC championship standings. The car will have a carbon fiber front lip spoiler, extended side skirts and a ventilated hood. Other notable changes include a prominent rear wing, a four-tailpipe sports exhaust system and lightweight alloy wheels.
"It’s great to finally announce our plans for 2014, the switch made sense for us in many different ways." said Ciceley Racing Team Principal Russell Morgan. "With Paul Ridgway at the helm of the project holding high aspirations and Adam continuing to mature as a driver, we think that the A-Class can be a competitive package in the series next year."
