British Touring Car Championship race winner Mat Jackson is still hoping to secure a drive with Motorbase this season.

Jackson, who has 19 BTCC victories to his name, finished eighth in the standings last year, his fourth with the squad.

Fabrizio Giovanardi has already been signed to drive one of the team's three 2014 Ford Focuses and a second seat is expected to go to a former single-seater racer, but Jackson has not yet been confirmed.

"I'm still talking to Motorbase," Jackson told AUTOSPORT. "There is still the third car and I think it's between me and Tom [Onslow-Cole].

"It's a case of getting the funding together and we're working on plans."

Jackson believes Motorbase and its revamped Focus will be stronger in 2014.



"Last year was a nightmare but we got it sorted in the end and had a car that could consistently run in the top six," he added.

"There's a stronger engineering line-up and it would be brilliant to go back with Gio there."
