GBR: Infiniti Q50 BTCC is race ready

Infiniti made their plans to race in the BTCC public several months ago. After weeks of work, their Q50 is ready to take on the 2015 BTCC season. For their championship charge in 2015, Infiniti has teamed up with the "Support our Paras" charity, in a bid to raise both funds and awareness about the charity and their goals. The completed car will be revealed by the team at the Autosport International Show in Birmingham later this week. The new paint scheme has been designed by Infiniti's own design team in Paddington London, and will eventually employ injured ex-Paratroopers to prepare both race cars as part of their tie-up with Paras Racing. 100% of the team’s profits will go towards the 'Support Our Paras' charity. Derek Palmer Jnr and Richard Hawken will drive the two Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing NGTC Infiniti Q50s, and they are set to compete with cars built by several of the world’s largest makes, a list which includes several legendary names in the racing world, such as Honda, Mercedes, Audi and BMW.Pictures used for illustration purposes only.
