More fizz for Andrew Jordan

News release date: Friday 15 August 2008

Andrew Jordan’s debut season in the British Touring Car Championship reached a new high after being crowned as HiQ’s champagne moment winner for the first time.

The John Guest Racing star has won the sponsor’s bubbly for his electric drive at Oulton Park, when he secured his first ever podium finish with a stunning performance in race three.

HiQ launched the initiative in a bid to interact with spectators, who were invited to log onto HiQ’s official website, www.hiqonline.co.uk and vote for their star performer from the action at Oulton Park.

Hundreds of fans registered, with 67 per cent voting for Jordan, who easily beat Adam Jones into second place, who polled 20 per cent of votes for his impressive performances.

Gareth Lockwood, of Wiltshire, who logged his details onto the website, was picked at random to present the magnum of champagne to Andrew at Knockhill this Sunday and complimentary tickets to a BTCC race of his choice will also be provided as a prize.

HiQ is delighted with the success of the inaugural champagne moment award and is now urging fans to log on and vote for their favourite driver from Knockhill, once the action concludes on Sunday evening.

Andrew Jordan said: “Getting my first podium finish was the best moment of my career so far, so it is lovely to have a permanent reminder of it courtesy of HiQ’s champagne moment.

“I will take the positives with me to Knockhill and will look forward to meeting Gareth and receiving my bottle of champagne from him.”

HiQ’s BTCC spokesman James Bailey said: “We are delighted with the success of our champagne moment initiative.

“We want our sponsorship to leave a positive impression on the people that matter at the BTCC – the fans.”
