As you may recall in May this year CTech Motorsport announced a one year sponsorship deal with Pirtek as official new main sponsor, although this one year sponsorship agreement is only a few months into its first year, today however we are delighted to announce a further update to this sponsorship deal with Pirtek.

Since the final race of the TORA USGT championship a few weeks ago CTech Motorsport livery designer/tuner Dan and myself have been speaking with Pirtek Marketing Director about the future of virtual racing, where it is heading and what major companies such as Pirtek can gain from participating in this virtual form of motorsport and following CTech Motorsport 9th place privateer finishing position in the 2014 TORA USGT series Pirtek surprised us by announcing they wish to continue sponsoring CTech Motorsport for the foreseeable future. This new indefinite sponsorship deal now means that CTech Motorsport has been granted exclusive rights to use the Pirtek branding and are the only virtual racing team/drivers that will ever be granted the use of the Pirtek branding for as long as CTech Motorsport remain in partnership with Pirtek.

Recently invited to Knockhill as Pirtek guests we had time to chat with Pirtek Marketing Director and the real world Pirtek BTCC drivers and team. We noted how forward thinking and futuristic Pirtek are which made clear why leading companies such as Pirtek and a few others are now engaging with this form of virtual racing on a competitive level and we hope the trend continues and that we see many more major companies bringing their brands as sponsorship deals to TORA and virtual racing as a whole.

Due to this exclusive new sponsorship deal with Pirtek, CTech Motorsport would now like to bring a second driver on-board as an official Virtual Pirtek Racing driver at the start of the new year. This offer is open to both seasoned TORA drivers and new TORA members with at least one full season/championship series completed. Due to our exclusive partnership with Pirtek we would seek a reliable driver to fill the second seat for any future championship series that CTech Motorsport decide to enter into under the Virtual Pirtek Racing (VPR) team name in the 2015 season. Lightning fast lap times are not a requirement, rather consistency and someone who will agree to put in the time before each event for media purposes, test sessions and pre-race practice sessions. At this time we are only seeking one driver but in the future a third driver will most likely be a requirement. Interested in a long term Virtual Pirtek Racing driver deal? If so then drop me a PM but please don’t reply to this thread.

Thanks and look forward to hearing from some of you.
