Tony Hughes will, again, be behind the wheel of his Toyota Avensis Next Generation Touring Car in 2012, embarking on his second season in the British Touring Car Championship. Once again he has teamed up with Speedworks Motorsport, taking on some of the biggest names in British motorsport.
Tony and Speedworks made history by being the first team to commit to running a Next Generation Touring Car (NGTC), in the 2011 championship, taking the dubious honour of 'heaviest driver'.
The new NGTC spec has been introduced to reduce the cost of competing. Cars cost less that previous regulations to design, build, develop and run but still deliver top levels of performance with the potential to develop even further in the future, the success of which has been seen as Honda and MG have taken the opportunity to build cars to the new rules.
As always, safety is a key consideration - the common theme that attracts Hughes Safety Showers as a team sponsor. As a minimum, the NGTC matches the older spec. S2000 for safety. Additional features include a more central position for the driver, increased impact protection on both sides of the car.
Sponsorship of a sport that places so much emphasis on safety is a natural fit for Hughes whose business is built on protecting lives. The shared commitment to innovation, excellent design and quality engineering is combined with a competitive spirit committed to delivering success. With in excess of 19 million viewers in 2011, look out for Tony this year on ITV4 - where all the action is covered live.
