MG has said it will be aiming for wins immediately on its return to the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship in 2012.

The British-based manufacturer announced this morning (Weds) that double champion Jason Plato and Andy Neate will race its new MG6 GT model in the series under the MG KX Momentum Racing banner. It will be built to the BTCC’s latest turbocharged Next Generation Touring Car regulations by one of the most successful teams in the championship’s history, Triple Eight Race Engineering.
