VX Racing give a championship winning performane
This Sunday's rounds 16, 17 and 18 of the 2008 HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) at Snetterton, Norfolk, saw VX Racing successfully add to their championship leads; manufacturer, driver and team.
The weekend proved challenging for reigning champions VX Racing. The impact of success ballast accumulated was always going to hinder the team's chances of a strong points finish. However, hard work was rewarded, adding points and podiums to their championship challenge.
Race one saw VX Racing rookie Tom Onslow-Cole run a clean, committed race to finish sixth overall. Onslow-Cole remained in contention for the entire race, holding onto the front running pack and making good pace in his VXR Vectra.
Tom Onslow-Cole had an unlucky race two which saw him leave the track on lap four, after an incident involving Team Air Cool's Adam Jones. The detour cost Onslow-Cole his top ten position, and he rejoined the back of the field, finally finishing 14th.
In race three Onslow-Cole amazed everyone with his pace as he flew up through the pack to finish with an incredible six championship points and fifth position, his best finish of the weekend. Mat Jackson from BMW Dealer Team UK won the race.
