Leading off this week's Forza Garage is a pair of 2014 British Touring Car
Championship racers. Both cars are built to the Next Generation Touring Car
specifications. The #67 Audi was helmed by driver Robb Holland and the #80
Toyota by Ginetta racer Tom Ingram. Don't forget to give the rest of this
week's lineup their due as well. There isn't a piece of tarmac in the world
these rides wouldn't be happy to lay down some rubber.
Here's a closer look at our BTCC racecars:
2014 Audi #67 Rotek Racing S3 Saloon
Notable Jalopnik contributor Robb Holland was the first American driver to ever
compete in a full season of the British Touring Car Championship. With the help
of Rotek Racing based at the Nürburgring, the ultimate proving ground for
anything with wheels, the team fielded this Audi S3 Saloon. Holland's goals for
the season were humble given each race of the season would be the first time he
had seen each track. The team placed in the top twenty more than once and,
despite some unfortunate on-track incidents that ended their chances early,
earned points by the end of the season. For Forza fans, this BTCC racer is ready
to relive its track time at Brands Hatch or anywhere else you choose to race.
2014 Toyota #80 Speedworks Motorsport Avensis
Speedworks Motorsport has seen success in the Ginetta G50 Cup, British GT4, and
the British GT Championship to name a few notable series. The husband and wife
team of Christian and Amy Dick debuted the first Next Generation Touring Car in
2011 and since climbed the steep learning curve. By 2014, the team doubled in
size and had taken on promising young Ginetta driver Tom Ingram. A mostly
trouble-free 2014 season saw the #80 to nine point finishes out of twelve races
run, including two top-ten placings. The Toyota Avensis is a large four-door
saloon that is not available in North America. In its BTCC racing dress, you can
experience what has made it a success in Europe and Japan.
