Ingram to test for Eurotech
Teenager Tom Ingram will make his British Touring Car Championship test debut at Silverstone next week with the Eurotech Vauxhall squad
Ingram's test comes as part of his prize for winning the Ginetta Junior Championship earlier this month, and he is looking forward to his outing.
"I can't wait," Ingram, 17, said. "It will be the most powerful car I've ever driven, and it should be a lot of fun! It's just a massive opportunity, absolutely fantastic, and I have to thank both the team and Ginetta for it.
"I think I will be one of the youngest drivers ever to test a touring car at only 17 - and that will be great publicity, too, in helping to get my name out there more.
"The fact that they are prepared to let me out in their car demonstrates a level of trust and confidence in me, which is always nice to see. It really is a dream come true - it's going to be absolutely unbelievable."
Eurotech's regular driver Andrew Jordan won at both Croft and Brands Hatch in the Vectra this year.
