Rory Butcher joined by Aberdeen racer Glynn Geddie to become an all-Scottish British Touring Car driver line up ahead of their home Knockhill event
#TeamScotland is now “a thing” in the British Touring Car Championship as Glyn Geddie was unveiled as the new team-mate to local star Rory Butcher for the remainder of the 2018 BTCC season. The pair’s first outing was at Rockingham ahead of the crucial meeting at Knockhill on 25/26th August.
Glynn Geddie, #41 AmD with AutoAid/RCIB Insurance Racing MG6 GT said:
“I feel I have some unfinished business with the BTCC and it’s great to have a chance to return to the series. I know it will be a big learning curve as I haven’t raced a front-wheel drive car since my part-season in the Toyota, and I know it might take me a little longer to get back up to speed than if I was jumping into one of the rear-wheel drive sports cars I have raced for most of my career. Rockingham weekend was a bit of a test for me ahead of a big weekend on home soil at Knockhill, but my aim is to work with Rory and the team to work my way forwards in each session and see how I get on.
Rory Butcher, #6 AmD with AutoAid/RCIB Insurance Racing MG6 GT, said:
“Rockingham was the first circuit we’ll visit this season where I have raced a touring car before, which can only benefit me as I’ll have an idea of things like how the tyres are going to perform across the races. To lead the final race, albeit it only briefly, shows we are back in the hunt for podiums and I’ve known Glynn for years and have raced each other a number of times, and I feel he will be a good addition to the team.”
