Jordan and Warnock renew partnership.
Team Eurotech will be re-branded as Jordan Warnock Racing following the announcement that Mike Jordan and David Warnock are renewing a partnership that started 15 years ago.
In 2004, JWR will mount twin campaigns in the British GT Championship and the LMES, running four Porsches in British GT and a new Porsche 911GT3RSR in the LMES. However, plans are now being formulated to expand the team's activities into North America for the 2005 season, coupled to an entry at Le Mans.

However, plans are now being formulated to expand the team's activities into North America for the 2005 season, coupled to an entry at Le Mans.
"This is a logical programme of expansion and development," says Jordan, who will continue to lead the team on the track. "David is very focussed on what he wants to do and his business acumen will enable us to take the team forward to the next level."
The association goes back to 1989 when Jordan built Warnock's first racing Porsche. Later, they teamed up to win the 2001 British GT title for Lister. Warnock will continue to race in selected endurance races, but will also become involved in developing the team's commercial activities.
"Although I still intend to do some racing, I've wanted to get more involved with a team for some time," explains Warnock. "With Mike continuing to do what he does so well and my commercial and management experience, we should make a strong partnership. One of the things I really want to see is a team of the calibre JWR racing for Britain in the ALMS," says Warnock.
The team's 2004 programme will now be expanded to include the Spa 24 Hours, while an assault on the Petit Le Mans race is also under consideration as a precursor to a full ALMS campaign in 2005. A satellite base will be set up in Florida, whilst a continued major presence in Britain and Europe is planned.
For 2004 JWR will again benefit from works tyre support from Dunlop for the LMES, further extending the close working relationship between the two parties.
Team Eurotech was established in 1988 and has won 31 championships, including the British GTO title, and countless races during 15 seasons. In 2003 the team competed in the FIA GT Championship and scored two podium finishes in the hugely competitive N-GT category.
