Tom Chilton joined the BTCC in 2002 at the age of just 17 and at the time, was the youngest driver to ever take part in the series. A podium finish was a sign of things to come as he marked himself as one to watch, ending his rookie season fifth in the Independents’ Championship.
His first victory in the championship at Silverstone in 2014 made him the series' youngest ever winner, and alongside continued success in the BTCC, Tom would go on to race at the front in the like of the American Le Mans Series and the World Touring Car Championship.
Having won the Independents’ Trophy during a five-year stint in the latter, Tom returned to the BTCC in 2017 and since 2022, has been part of the Team VERTU line-up – making a welcome return to the top step of the podium.
