Double British GT champion Jonny Adam will stay with the title-winning TF Sport squad for the defence of his crown in 2017 as he bids for a historic three-in-a-row success.
The 32-year-old Fifer blasted his way into the motorsport history books by this year becoming the first driver in the 24 years of the series to bag back-to-back championships.
Aston Martin factory driver Adam has now aims to extend the winning partnership forged with Derek Johnston by once again lining up with him in the venerable V12 Vantage GT3 when the new campaign gets underway at Oulton Park in April.
Adam’s winter testing programme will be centred around optimising setups and trialling a host of new ideas to extract yet more speed from the team Aston Martin.
“It has been a mega year for TF Sport and I’m already looking forward to spending 2017 with the team and Derek (Johnston),” he said.
“I’ve been in British GT since 2011 and Aston Martin Racing has placed me with several teams in several championships, but I particularly enjoy working with TF Sport.
“I really like the attention to detail, Tom Ferrier has good staff, the cars are always beautifully turned out and it was clear that winning the championship meant a hell of a lot to everybody involved.
“Doing the double with two different teams was great, but winning a third consecutive title and doing it with TF Sport would be very special and I’m hungry to make it happen.
“TF Sport is a young team and it has come a long way in only a few years, also winning in Europe, which is great from Aston Martin’s perspective. “However, we need to move forward from the last round of 2016 and we have a great test structure in place.”
TF Sport director, Tom Ferrier, said: “It has been something of a watershed year for TF Sport, as we’ve won races and championship titles on both the British and European stages and I believe consistency will be key to carrying the team’s form over into 2017.”
