Eurotech Racing
Eurotech Racing was a British motor racing team based in Tamworth, Staffordshire, founded by Mike Jordan and currently owned by Jeff Smith since December 2014, that last competed in the 2018 British Touring Car Championship.
The team won both the BTCC independent teams trophy and the independent drivers' championship with Andrew Jordan in 2012 and won the BTCC drivers' championship with Andrew Jordan in 2013.
Team Eurotech entered the BTCC in 2006 with Mike Jordan driving a Honda Integra. He made history by becoming the oldest BTCC race winner in 2006 at the age of 48 when he won the third race of the day at Mondello Park. The penultimate race of the season at Silverstone saw Jordan crash with SEAT Sport UK drivers Jason Plato and James Thompson. He was then airlifted to the University Hospital Coventry with severe head injuries and a punctured lung. Jordan finished the season tenth in the drivers' championship with two podiums an addition to his win while the team was fifth in the teams championship.
Mike Jordan recovered over the winter and he returned as the team's driver for 2007. With the championship moving to Super 2000 technical regulations, the Honda Integra would no longer be eligible for the overall drivers' championship. The team took four podium finishes on the way to sixth in the teams' championship, one position down on the best placed single car entry of Jackson Msport.
For 2008 the team expanded to two cars to run Mike Jordan and his son Andrew in a pair of Honda Integras. Andrew got his first podium result in the third race at Oulton Park by finishing third, he did the same at the next round at Knockhill three weeks later. He finished one place ahead of his father in the championship in thirteenth place while the team ended the season eighth in the teams' championship.
Eurotech purchased a S2000 Vauxhall Vectra for the 2009 season with support from Triple 8 Race Engineering. Andrew Jordan was to drive the car with Mike Jordan retiring from driving in the championship. This later changed when Andrew joined the factory VX Racing team and Eurotech did not enter their own car for 2009.
Under the Pirtek Racing banner, Eurotech ran a Vauxhall Vectra in the 2010 season for Andrew Jordan. The car was powered by the new NGTC turbocharged engine which ran well in preseason testing. Andrew Jordan took the first win for both himself and the TOCA NGTC engine at Croft Circuit, leading every lap from pole position to beat Team Aon's Tom Onslow-Cole. He then took his second victory in the season finale at Brands Hatch Indy. At the end of the season, the team were the teams championship and sixth in the sixth in the independent teams trophy.
In 2011, it was announced that Pirtek Racing would enter two cars for Andrew Jordan and former Renault Clio Cup United Kingdom driver, Jeff Smith. Jordan took the team's only win of the season at Donington Park.
