Adam Jones goes Carbon Zero
BTCC frontrunner to partner Dan Eaves in bio-ethanol

BTCC frontrunner Adam Jones has announced that he will join the newly-formed Cartridge World Carbon Zero Racing team in the 2009 HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship

Jones, who achieved six podium finishes in 2008 with Team Air Cool, will partner former Independents' champion Dan Eaves. The pair will both drive bio-ethanol fuelled SEAT Leons as part of the Cartridge World squad's ambitious project to run the BTCC's first carbon free race operation.

It's great to be driving for the team this coming season," said Jones. "They have been working flat out to get on the grid and I'm sure we will be very competitive and hit the ground running. I'm looking forward to having a team-mate for the first time in the BTCC and I'm sure we will push each other throughout the season and surprise a few people along the way."

2009 will mark Jones' third BTCC season, whilst Eaves returns to the series following a three year absence.

Probably because 06 was a half season and in one of the worst cars on the grid in terms of speed and reliability... ie. forgettable!

Is that your prediction on the performance you expect from the Maxtreme Toledo of Liam McMillan for 2009 Dickie?

Jones actually raced as much in 2006 as he did in 2007 and in terms of reliability he finished 13 out of 17 race starts, where as in 2007 it was 15 finishes from 18 starts, so not much worse.

Oh there is no question that 2007 was very much better for Jones than 2006, 72 points versus 1.
