Chris Bray back in the MG Trophy

Chris Bray, the most successful driver in the history of the MG Trophy Championship, will be back in action for the 2016 season.

On confirming his return, Bray said: ”Despite not racing in 2015 I was present at all the rounds and to see some of my old buddies having their usual fun without me was difficult, I just had to have another go and I hope to do as much of the 2016 season as possible.”

Trophy co-ordinator Pete Macwaters said: ”Chris took a year out in 2015 but the lure of racing again was never far away. I’m very pleased that we’ll be seeing him out in his familiar blue G3 Pro/Finishline sponsored MG ZR190 again this year.

“Chris has won the championship three times and has been in the top three every year between 2007 and 2014 – a truly amazing record.

“Several other drivers have decided to return to the Trophy having tried other championships, and I’m pleased that we currently have eight new drivers registered with more still to come.”

The MG Trophy Championship will be contested over 14 rounds in 2016, including two races at Knockhill.
