PPG renews Aiden Moffat Racing sponsorship

PPG Refinish UK and Ireland will continue to support Aiden Moffat Racing as they embark on their 2020 British Touring Car Championship campaign.

PPG has supported Aiden Moffat’s career since 2015, making 2020 the fifth consecutive sponsorship year.

“It’s great to continue working with PPG, having them as part of Laser Tools Racing in this exciting new venture in this upcoming BTCC season,” said Moffat (pictured above right with team-mate Ashley Sutton). “PPG have been a great support to me, and having their continued backing is fantastic for us.

“This is shaping up to be a very exciting season and I’m looking forward to pushing their brand to the front of the grid. As well as our newly built race cars this year, we’ll also be doing two-seater days so I’m looking forward to building our already great relationship both at the race days and our exciting upcoming events.”

David Heal, PPG market director refinish UK and Ireland, said: “It has been great to be associated with Aidan over the last five years and to see the success the team have had. Innovation, commitment and teamwork are clear values that Aidan and the team have shown and are closely aligned to PPG’s core values, so we are excited to continue this partnership into a new decade and wish Aidan and the team every success for a great season.”

Moffat made history in 2013 as the youngest driver ever to start in a BTCC race, and he has continued to bring excitement and drama to the 10 circuits in the BTCC calendar since. 2019 proved to be a challenging year for Moffat, which resulted in a mid-season car change from his Mercedes A-Class to the new Infiniti Q50. This daring tactic from the team resulted in a dramatic penultimate race at Silverstone where the Scotsman carved through the whole pack to end up on the podium after beginning the race at the back of the grid.

The British Touring Car Championship kicks off on 28 March at Donnington Park.
