ONSLOW-COLE ON TRACK FOR CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES
VX Racing's young driver Tom Onslow-Cole, fought hard at this weekend's rounds 25, 26 and 27 of the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) at Silverstone, helping VX Racing on the road to securing both the manufacturers' and teams' championship titles.
The wet conditions were causing some heavy traffic out on track, but the Surrey based driver held it all together and once again secured a hefty points tally for his championship campaigns.
In the first race of the day Tom and the team gambled with the unpredictable conditions and prayed for dry weather as he left the grid with slicks on the front. After a change of tyres on lap five, 21-year-old Onslow-Cole fought through the field from the back of the pack to finally claim 11th position.
Demonstrating the VXR Vectra's pace in the second race, Tom moved up from his 11th position start to finish in a very well deserved sixth place amid safety car conditions between laps four and eight, and a collection of incidents taking place all around him.
The draw for round 27 saw Tom start from fifth position, and after leading the race for a number of laps, finally finished sixth overall.
