Colin, who won his two BTCC titles in rear-wheel-drive machinery, is excited by the tie-up between Subaru and Team BMR.

“Continuing with Team BMR for the 2016 season was an easy decision for me and represents a great opportunity to build on our strong maiden campaign,” he said. “I can’t wait to get started with the development of the new Subaru Levorg BTCC race car and I’m more motivated than ever to win.
