Wiperblades.co.uk-backed Team VERTU Wins Again to Extend BTCC Lead

Wiperblades.co.uk-backed Team VERTU driver Tom Ingram bagged his fourth British Touring Car Championship victory of the season at Knockhill to extend his advantage at the head of the drivers’ standings.

The High Wycombe driver was in typically imperious form during the BTCC’s annual visit north of the border to Scotland as he complemented a dominant victory in the second race of the weekend by claiming a third and a fourth in the other two.

The successful set of results complements a sterling run of form for Ingram, who has now won a race at each of the last four events, performances that have enabled him to strengthen his grip in the overall drivers’ championship.

With three events and nine races remaining, Ingram now leads main rival Ash Sutton by 17 points.

It was a strong weekend all round for Team VERTU with Senna Proctor claiming a pair of fourth place results to lift himself into the overall top ten, while Tom Chilton recovered from a non-score in the first race to come from the back of the grid and claim eighth and fifth place finishes.

“This was one of those weekends where I think we were fairly concerned that we might have struggled after qualifying and got caught up in some dramas,” Ingram said. “But it’s ended up being a solid, ‘pointsy’ day where we have extended our lead in the standings.

“We were vulnerable in qualifying and race one with the lack of boost but we had a strong car and we nailed our strategy in terms of the tyres. 

“The fact we had two tyres we could really race on this weekend rather than having one race on the hard tyre where we just had to drive around made a big difference and we called it right.

“It allowed us to get the win in race two and then come close to the podium again in the final race and minimised the loss to Ash which puts us in a stronger position going into the next round at Donington Park.”
