Front-running Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship driver Tom Ingram has boosted his pre-season preparations by prolonging his partnership with EXCELR8 Motorsport, as the highly-rated Bucks-born ace sets his sights firmly upon the biggest prize in national motorsport on the eve of the series’ eagerly-anticipated hybrid era. Ingram joined EXCELR8 in 2021 for his eighth campaign in the BTCC and, exactly one year on from the beginning of the union, the two-time Independents’ Champion has marked the occasion by committing to the team until at least the end of 2023 – and it’s not hard to see why. “I arrived at EXCELR8 after spending seven years with the same team, yet I felt fully at home from my first test in the Hyundai. I’ve been the BTCC’s ‘nearly man’ too many times for my liking, and off the back of such a strong first year at EXCELR8 and with the new challenge of getting to grips with hybrid technology, I’ve never felt so motivated.
