Oulton Park – scene of the fourth outing on the 2021 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship calendar – has been likened by some to a rollercoaster ride, and Tom Ingram certainly experienced its highs and lows as he unleashed a scintillating turn-of-speed but was ultimately unrewarded for his stellar efforts. With the ballast removed for race two, Ingram went immediately on the offensive, posting the fastest lap for an extra point as he scythed his way into the top ten by mid-distance. “That meant that by the time the re-start came around in race one, I had practically no brakes or tyres left, which combined with the weight made me a sitting duck in the final laps – we were simply in survival mode by that stage. “Remaining positive, though, whilst the other drivers have closed in on us in the standings, we are still there, we are still in second position and to achieve fastest lap on both tyre compounds was really encouraging and shows the speed we’ve got in this car.
