Tom Ingram and Tom Chilton will reunite at Bristol Street Motors with EXCELR8 for the team’s 2024 assault on the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship.

Ingram heads into the season aiming to reclaim the title he first won in 2022 after finishing as runner-up to Ash Sutton in last year’s standings. Ingram should be a frontrunner again after enjoying a successful three years with the team previously during which he’s secured 11 wins and 38 podium finishes.

Chilton meanwhile, is one of the most experienced drivers in BTCC history and is scheduled to make his 500th series start later this year. The 38-year-old ended a four-year win drought in the series last season with a dramatic victory at Donington Park, and has his sights firmly fixed on more silverware during the upcoming campaign.

Ingram and Chilton join second-year racer Ronan Pearson in the EXCELR8 line-up, with the fourth driver in the team to be confirmed in due course ahead of the new season starting at Donington Park in late April.

Tom Ingram said: “Last year, we were the only team to really take the fight to Ash for the title, and it was only one race at Knockhill that ultimately prevented us from taking that fight right to the very end. The fact that we were still in contention going into the final round, when Ash had so many wins, showed that we were very consistent, but we just didn’t have the outright pace on a few occasions.”

Tom Chilton said: “Getting back onto the top step of the podium was fantastic last season, although obviously there was some disappointment on my side that it was the only win we managed to take. With everything that has been going on behind the scenes over the winter, I feel we head into 2024 in a good position, and I feel extremely positive about what we can achieve.”
