AN INTRODUCTION TO JACK GOFF Jack Goff is one of the most promising young talents in UK Motorsport. From the tender age of six when he first got behind the wheel of a go kart, Jack has been racing and winning. At only 24 years old Jack is a true professional; calm, yet focused; confident, yet amazingly humbled by the support he receives from his sponsors. There is no doubt that Jack has an abundance of raw talent, his results on the track only go to prove this. He handles pressure with ease and delivers a performance that is completely devoid of nerves.

In 2009 at only 18 Jack began his first year as a professional racing driver by competing in the MG Trophy Championship. Once again he demonstrated his ability to win and earned his place within the world of motor racing by finishing first in his class. With Jack’s talent and potential all too evident, his sponsors unanimously decided to give him the opportunity to race in the Elf Renault Clio Cup Championship in 2010. The Clio Cup is run as part of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) programme and benefits from the popularity of the Championship, with various avenues of media coverage including live television. Jack’s career in the Clio’s culminated with him winning the Championship in 2012. In 2013, with his sponsors support, Jack was able to fulfil his ambition and compete for the first time in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship. Jack finished the championship in 17th place and ended the season in style with a well earned second place podium position in the last race at Brands Hatch.

In 2014 Jack returned to compete in the BTCC for a second year. He proved his consistency with only DNF’s in four out of a total of 30 races and improved his finishing position to 15th in the Championship that included ten top ten finishes throughout the season. In 2015 Jack fulfilled another ambition by joining a works-supported team. Triple Eight signed Jack to drive their second MG6 GT alongside former champion Andrew Jordan. Having started his career by winning the MG Trophy in 2009, this move brought him full circle back to MG. 2015 saw 21 top ten finishes including his maiden victory at Snetterton. 2016 saw Jack’s fourth season in the BTCC and a move to the rear wheel drive of BMW 125i M Sport of West Surrey Racing. With a new partner in IHG® Rewards Club, Jack saw his way to 11th in the championship with two more trips to the podium.

BRDC SUPERSTARS Amongst other things, drivers will gain significant benefit of media coverage that the BRDC SuperStars programme itself generates. Indeed, the Club’s endorsement of each young driver’s status as one of the very brightest prospects in motor sport is undoubted but hard to put a value on.

Now in its tenth year, BRDC SuperStars is well established as a programme which any serious young British driver aspires to be part of. As the scheme only selects the very brightest prospects, competition for places tough and keenly fought.

WHAT THE PROFESSIONALS SAY Accomplished racing drivers and seasoned motor racing team managers alike, agree Jack’s talent and potential are all too evident...

“We are very excited with IHG Rewards Club’s decision to take Jack onboard, as we have watched him develop into a top BTCC driver in the last couple of years.

“Jack has all the abilities required to succeed as a professional racing driver. His natural talent and prodigious skill have made him a winner in everything he has driven. Since joining the BRDC SuperStars programme I have seen Jack mature into a complete driver both on and off the circuit, he is destined for a bright future”

Tim Harvey, Director, BRDC SuperStars

The 2016 Dunlop MSA BTCC championship is shaping up to be another great season, so with Jack joining WSR, it will further strengthen our already strong line up in the BMW 125i M Sport.

“Jack Goff is one of the new generation of young, up and coming touring car drivers, and we at 888 are very happy to have him as part of our BTCC team. I am always on the lookout for new talent, and Jack has not disappointed so far, as we take him on a journey that will, in time, see him at the forefront as a professional touring car driver.”

We have a lot of pre season testing planned, so that will be good for Jack to have time to adjust to our RWD BMW’s. We also really appreciate that Jack’s loyal sponsors will be continuing to support him.”

Ian Harrison, Team Owner, Triple Eight Racing

Dick Bennetts, Team Principal, WSR Photography by Jakob Ebrey

“Jack is a future BTCC champion, no question. He is fast, tenacious, rarely makes mistakes and drives with an intelligence that belies his age. Personable and media-savvy, he is a big hit with fans, corporate guests and media alike and is the ideal ambassador for a sponsor and its message in the BTCC.”

“Jack is really on a roll having just won the Clio Cup in front of the BTCC crowds and he’s just the sort of driver we want in our championship as we build for the future. He is tremendously talented and, for his age, also extremely mature in his approach. He is definitely going to be a name to watch for in 2016.”

David Addison, ITV4 BTCC Commentator

Alan Hyde, BTCC Paddock and Podium Commentator

“Jack has such a natural ability behind the wheel of a race car, which is such a rare thing to find. He works hard, and also appreciates each and every time he steps in to a race car, which is very important on his journey towards being a champion. I would love to have a team mate like Jack.”

Phil Glew, British GT Championship driver, 2009 Clio Cup Champion

ABOUT THE BTCC The British Touring Car Championship is one of the best loved, most illustrious and famous motor racing championships in the world. Since its inception in 1958 it has attracted and captivated millions of fans right around the world.

Traditional, great British names such as Jaguar, Austin, Ford, Mini, Lotus, Sunbeam and Triumph – often with top international stars, including Formula 1 drivers, at the wheel – were all winners in the first 20 years, each aware of the importance of using the BTCC to showcase their latest models.

Jakob Ebrey Photography

From the start, saloon car racing was a huge success with the public, who would pack into Britain’s racing venues to watch the top drivers of the day compete in racing versions of their road cars at simply unbelievable speeds.

By the Eighties, the BTCC was moving with the times and beginning to develop a truly international flavour. Mazda, Toyota and Alfa Romeo were the first three winners of the decade as the championship continued to be run for several classes of car, but the mighty Ford Sierra RS500 and BMW M3 are probably the two most evocative models of the period. It was in the Nineties, however, that the BTCC truly boomed. The championship was already beginning to grow in stature with regular television coverage on the BBC’s flagship sports show, Grandstand. When the decision was taken to make the BTCC exclusively for 2-litre cars, it instantly created closer racing and attracted a host of high-profile manufacturers, teams and drivers to the series. Combined with enhanced television coverage and marketing genius, this made the BTCC essential viewing for millions throughout the UK – and many millions more throughout the world. Trackside crowd figures sometimes reached the 40,000 mark as the calendar evolved into a major UK tour with events being added in Scotland and Wales.

Not surprisingly, the manufacturers simply could not afford to miss out and the number taking part in the series grew rapidly. Alfa Romeo, Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Peugeot, Renault, Toyota, Vauxhall and Volvo: all realised the enormous marketing value of competing in the BTCC and were quick to capitalise on the opportunity. Every one of them has the BTCC to thank for being a part of their continued growth in the UK today. Jakob Ebrey Photography

ABOUT THE BTCC

2017 Race Calendar

Twenty years on, now with unprecedented levels of national television coverage from ITV, that same 2-litre formula continues to provide one of motor sport’s most addictive, action-packed atmospheres for an audience of millions, as well as the perfect platform for teams, drivers and sponsors to raise their profiles and reputations. “BTCC is simply Britain’s biggest and most important national car racing championship,” says Jonathan Palmer, Chief Executive of MotorSport Vision. “Spectators love touring car racing and, with a format carefully designed to provide plenty of on track action, BTCC attracted bigger crowds than any other car racing across our four MotorSport Vision circuits in 2011. “A strong television package is essential to provide the broad public awareness necessary to keep major sporting events in the people’s minds, and BTCC works hard and effectively with its extensive live ITV4 coverage,” continues Palmer. “BTCC is very successful, promotes itself strongly, draws big crowds and will hopefully become even more attractive to fans, TV viewers and circuits with future evolution.” Another of the BTCC’s huge draws is the fact that each of its race events offers free admission for children, in some cases up to the age of 16, making it hugely popular with families and young, future fans. Furthermore, the sport is unique in allowing the public to interact with their heroes thanks to an open paddock policy at the majority of events.
