The Thurlby Motors Tech-Speed Astra is supported by EEMS for its 2006 season in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship, 30 races in 10 rounds nationwide. After Fiona Leggate’s withdrawal, the team has retained experienced BTCC driver Paul O’Neill for the last six races. The Astra car also trials the EEMS fuel flow meter as part of a technical study into how to regulate fuel equivalency for future championships.
