Jeff Smith returns to the British Touring Car Championship next year with Eurotech Racing.

“This is the pinnacle of UK saloon car racing and there is no better place than the BTCC to race,” said Smith.

“The chance to rejoin the ever-competitive grid was an opportunity not to be missed for me and my key sponsor ICD. I’m really looking forward to the challenge and being part of the BTCC package again. With some updates on the cars we should be as competitive as we were in 2013.”

Jeff drove a Honda Civic for the team in 2013, finishing 14th overall with one podium finish, and team owner Mike Jordan is glad to see the 48-year-old back.

“Jeff has always put his full effort into the sport and is a very capable driver, so for us to put this deal together gives him an excellent platform for his racing, along with an ongoing business opportunity for the future,” said Jordan.

Eurotech has not yet revealed the final driver line-up for the 2015 BTCC other than Smith.
