Jake Hill is getting a new sponsor to assist in his Rookie Year in the British Touring Car Championships.

Omologato watches proudly announces a new partnership with British Touring Car Championship racing driver Jake Hill for his rookie year in the series.

With a number of points already under his belt for the 2016 season, Jake currently lies 20^th in the standings of 32 drivers, and is fast making a name for himself as a fearless competitor with a number of closely fought battles for points successfully concluded in his RCIB Insurance Toyota Avensis.

Thruxton saw his best finish to date in the BTCC, qualifying 15^th overall and 8^th in the independent class over the hotly contested weekend of rounds 7, 8 and 9 of the championship.

Omologato founder Shami Kalra said: “As a motorsport fan I have followed Jake’s progress through the ranks since his time in the Ginetta Junior Championship.  

He is just 22 but with a lot of experience in a number of racing series’ from Ginetta to Porsche Supercup to BTCC.  Motorsport is all about time, and so it felt that a watch partner, especially a motorsport inspired brand like Omologato would be a great fit.  

Omologato is a young brand, with big ambitions and an exciting future with high octane fuel coursing through everything we do – rather like Jake and the BTCC.  We are delighted to be involved.”

As a brand ambassador for Omologato, Jake will proudly wear his new ‘722’ timepiece, which is a tribute to Sir Stirling Moss’ legendary victory in his number 722 Mercedes-Benz at the 1955 Mille Miglia – 61 years ago to this week.

Jake said: “I am proud to wear the Omologato 722 – and hope it will bring me some of the success Sir Stirling achieved all those years ago.  Omologato is a brand I instantly fell in love with having read about the watches in motorsport magazines.  I met with founder Shami at the Autosport International show and we agreed there that we would work together if I got a seat in the BTCC this year.”
