David Pinkney has had his first test in his ex-factory Vauxhall Vectra at Brands Hatch today.

The Harpenden racer is set to contest this year’s Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season in former champion Fabrizio Giovanardi’s 2009 car.

Like fellow Vectra driver Andrew Jordan, Pinkney is also using BTCC organiser TOCA’s new
turbo-charged 'Next Generation' engine.

Pinkney is likely to enter the car under his own Pinkney Motorsport team banner. A trademark
pink colourscheme is anticipated, but today the Vectra remained in ‘blank’ interim livery having
been stripped of all its old VX Racing logos.
