Skilled racing driver and carpenter, Ian Jones, has been sponsored by Crocodilla for two consecutive years running in the BMW Race Days Compact Cup series, driving the #58 E36 318ti Compact (1996-2001). The BMW Compact Cup is one of the most prestigious and challenging club racing events in the industry, which has seen multiple champions over previous years.
The 2016 season with the BRSCC commenced with races 1 and 2 at Brands Hatch Indy circuit in April, where Jones brought home a 2nd and a 3rd place to start the what was a brilliant year for Jones and team Crocodilla. The series from Brands Hatch continued, with a race meeting of two races each month, until finishing in October for the final rounds, 7 and 8, at Silverstone International circuit where Jones had an excellent qualifying session, polling the leader board by an incredible 1.00 second and managed to bring home an impressive 2nd and a 3rd after some very close and competitive racing!
Throughout the season Jones and Crocodilla have seen many podium positions including a 1st place at Snetterton Circuit, giving team Crocodilla a firm position on the leader board throughout the year. After a season of technical difficulties with car #58, 2016 made some very close and highly competitive racing. Jones fought hard through all the technical difficulties he faced with his car, #58, and used his skill, extensive knowledge and experience to perform exceptionally, despite the challenges he faced, finishing the season in a very impressive and well deserved 4th position in the championship.
Nothing was lost this season, only gained as Jones overcame each technical fault, meaning Jones is very well prepared and ready for the next season in 2017 and will be going for the championship win with Crocodilla backing him all the way!
