Tom Ingram outlined his title-chasing credentials with a battling performance as the Kwik British Touring Car Championship fired belatedly into life at Donington Park last weekend (1/2 August), scoring a hat-trick of top six finishes to stake his claim as a leading contender for the biggest prize in UK motorsport. “It was a rock-solid start to the season, which was exactly what we had been targeting, with no big dramas and good points scored in all three races. “The podium was certainly achievable in race one had it not been for the early skirmish ahead. The same could be said of race two, and in race three, we were just as quick at the end as we were at the beginning, which enabled Tom to pick some of the other guys off as their pace fell away and ours remained strong. “I thought the Corolla handled the ballast really well in race two. “As is often the case, race three was then a real elbows-out affair. With one more lap, we could definitely have had fifth, but I was still happy with sixth.
