🇬🇧 Tom Chilton

Tom Chilton is a British touring car driver who has competed in the BTCC for a decade, from 2017 to 2026, accumulating 268 starts with Team Vertu. He is a professional competitor in a strong national racing series; his Racer Rating of 4,007 places him in the capable mid-field tier of his category, well below the series' elite but among drivers who regularly contend in competitive grids. Across his ten seasons he has recorded six wins and twenty-five podiums, averaging a finishing position of eleventh.[1]

Chilton has spent his entire recorded career competing against some of the strongest touring car drivers in Britain. His primary rivals have been four-time champion Ash Sutton and two-time champion Tom Ingram, both significantly stronger drivers who have finished ahead of him in the vast majority of their shared races; across 224 encounters with Sutton and 220 with Ingram, Chilton finished ahead in only 47 and 46 races respectively. This head-to-head disparity illustrates his position as a capable professional who lacks the sustained pace to match the series' standout talents. He has held more competitive records against peers closer to his own level, most notably against Aiden Moffat, a driver of comparable strength, where he finished ahead in 113 of 210 shared races. His racing has been concentrated with Team Vertu throughout the period.[2]

As of mid-2026, Chilton remains active in the BTCC. Recent seasons have seen him secure pole position at Snetterton, though competitive race results have proven elusive in early-season rounds, reflecting the consistency and depth of the championship's field.
