One Hundred Not Out

Without a doubt, the highlight of yesterday's Vintage Motorsport Festival from Oulton Park was the 40-minute, two-driver Longstone Tyres Light Car race

Thirty eight cars, built between 1913-1930, took to the grid, including this one from 1921, the GN Standard Tourer of Longstone MD Dougal Cawley, shared with wife Liz

The Excelr8tor

By : @stevehindle

There's something very fresh, surprisingly raw and truly exciting happening with Tom Ingram this year. The calm young man the fans have come to love has found an edge

For seven seasons with Speedworks, he honed his craft and raced hard and true, recording wins against the odds and making himself the undisputed crown prince of the BTCC. Now he's found a new home with sponsor Ginsters and the newly combined Excelr8 TradePriceCars.com squad and whilst there's still much development to come with the Hyundai, his pace (and win) at Brands Hatch last weekend showed a remarkable determination to push ever harder in his pursuit of points, positions and ultimately, the biggest prize in British motor sport.

True Grit

By : @stevehindle

I'm sure I've used this title before, and I'm pretty sure I used it to describe Adam Morgan: Well here he is again

It's ten years since the fresh-faced youngster from Blackburn won the inaugural Ginetta Supercup (with his family-run team). With it came the prize of a fully-funded season in the BTCC, and whilst his grin might have hardened as each season has passed, so has his resolve. No better example of this was last year, racing through the impact of the pandemic and knowing he had an underforming car, he still recorded a points score in every race he finished, ten of which were in the top-six, including a win and two podiums

Now in 2021, he's starting over again, back to rear-wheel-drive (switching to the remarkable WSR BMW 330iM) and straight back into winning ways, taking a dominant lights-to-flag victory in Race 3 at Brands Hatch (having worked his way-up from P21 in qualifying). There's no denying that the squad still have a lot to learn about the car but its drives like this that reminds everyone that this is a team that has won before and will win again, even if they clearly start the day on the back foot; it's a tough ask but that's all this lot have ever known
