PERSHORE’S Rob Austin Racing are looking for a driver to take their Audi A4 into the British Touring Car Championship round at Knockhill.

Team principal Austin, of Evesham, is without teammate Hunter Abbott for the meeting on August 22 and 23 as his first child is due to be born that weekend.

Austin, who will race his Exocet AlcoSense A4, said: “This is a one-off for a driver of the right calibre and with budget to cover the race weekend and some testing prior to the event.

“The Audi has qualified on the front row of the grid at Knockhill in both the last two years, including pole position in 2013, and taken four podium results out of the last six races there. Ultimately, it’s a fantastic opportunity for any driver to make some big headlines.”

Drivers can call the team office on 01386-555865 or e-mail race@robaustin.com.

Meanwhile, Abbott drives the Audi A4 at Santa Pod’s Bug Jam event in Northamptonshire this weekend.
