Tom Chilton’s back and in fine fettle ahead of the 2019 BTCC. With all three Motorbase-run Focuses having undergone complete rebuilds and a host of changes underneath the bodywork, Chilton has prepped to match. He’s eyeing going better still than third in the Drivers’ standings this time around.

The outfit means business, illustrated, to Chilton’s delight, by an ambitious in-season testing plan encompassing more test days than the Surrey driver has been a part of in any given season in 16 years in the BTCC.
