THM RACING TO FIELD GOLF GTI IN VW CUP 2014

THM Racing is to return to the Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup in 2014, after an eight-year break from the championship. The team – formerly known as THM Motorsport – will field a Golf GTI for a yet-to-be-named driver.

THM has more than 16 years of experience in saloon-car racing, having previously competed in the Volkswagen Racing Cup, British Touring Car Championship, Britcar and SportMaxx Production Cup.

THM Racing Director Steve Parkinson said: “The THMR team is very excited to be joining the Volkswagen Racing Cup grid. Our partners, driver and every member of the team are working hard to make sure we are ready. Our team has evolved over the years, gaining momentum, which we hope will assist us in 2014.”

THM Racing Technical Director Trevor Humphrey added: “It’s great to be back in the Volkswagen Racing Cup. When we took part in 2001, 2004 and 2006 it was great for the whole team and our partners, so we are all really looking forward to the 2014 championship.” THM Racing is based in Watford, Hertfordshire.

Matt Walker, Volkswagen Racing Cup Championship Manager, welcomed THM Racing to the series: “THM Racing is going to be a fantastic addition to the grid of the Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup; we are delighted to have a team of THMR’s calibre joining us. The grid for 2014 continues to improve in size and quality.”

Oulton Park on Easter Monday (21 Apr) will be the venue for the opening rounds of the Milltek Sport Volkswagen Racing Cup – the first of 14 British GT Championship-supporting races on the schedule for 2014. Highlight of the year will be twin races at the Belgian Grand Prix circuit of Spa-Francorchamps in July.
