Mike Jordan says he is looking for further wins in the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship as he heads into a second season at the wheel of his Team Eurotech Honda Integra.

Jordan, who took a popular win at Mondello Park last season in only his second meeting with the Integra, is set to be the most high profile runner in the series to continue running a BTC-specification car in 2007 as the front-runners switch to Super 2000 in their quest to win the title – which can only be won by a driver using an S2000 machine.

It means Jordan will be ineligible for the outright championship title, but he said that wasn't something that concerns him going into the new season when his target is to secure more podiums with the car.

"More podiums and more wins," he told Crash.net when asked what he hopes to achieve during 2007. "Championship wise, it has almost done me a favour with what has happened with the rules. The one thing we can't do with a BTC spec car is win the championship as I'm sure you have read regularly, as an S2000 car is what you have to be driving to be British Touring Car Champion.

"I've spoken to Alan Gow several times since the end of last year and frankly, whether we have a Super 2000 car or a BTC spec car, we are unlikely to be champions up against the might of Dynamics, SEAT, Vauxhall and West Surrey. With the infrastructure they have in place, we aren't going to beat them to a championship.

"I'm not being defeatist, I'm being realistic in saying that and frankly, I would rather have my Integra than go and buy an S2000 Alfa Romeo or BMW as there is no performance disadvantage. A lot of people have it in their heads that they have to have an Super 2000 car to win the race but that isn't the case. I think our Integra will be a very competitive car and I want more podiums."

Jordan added that he hopes to take advantage of potential teething problems for some of the new cars on the grid – such at Team Halfords' new Civic – during the opening rounds of the year, although those cars will quickly get up to speed as the season progresses.

"People like Halfords will do a great job, but you would imagine in the first few races that they will be working their car up to pace," he said, "although that didn't happen with the Integra did it which was quick straight out of the box! I can see that being an issue where they develop the car through the season and have a great car at the end of it. I spoke to Matt recently and he jokingly said he was putting his money on me and my car at the start of the year. SEAT are going to be strong as they are the only ones going into the second season with a proven package but I think that is how I think the season will evolve.

"Cars will come on through the season which is why I want to be strong at the beginning as that is when we should benefit and get some more podiums."

Speaking at Oulton Park last week, where Eurotech was busy testing its British GT and Clio Cup machinery, Jordan also said he was feeling no ill-effect of the high speed accident at Silverstone that brought his 2006 campaign to an end and was now just looking forward to the year ahead.

"I'm not too bad now," he said. "I'm still having a bit of physio work done every week on my ribs, but my head is ok. Paul Trafford talks to me and says what I should and shouldn't have done, but everything is fine, I think he just wants to check me over one more time before he signs me off. I've got my licence again now and I'm looking forward to the season ahead.

"This time last year, we went out testing in the second week in February and I was very paranoid about the fact that we had to get out and learn, but now I'm more relaxed. We aren't re-inventing the wheel with the Integra and won't be making huge changes to it as it was always a bloody good car."
