There were three British Touring Car Championship drivers in contention for the Motorsport News Driver of the Year 2022 and it was the title winner who earned the most votes from the public. Tom Ingram can add that accolade to his already decorated season.
The 29-year-old from High Wycombe was a six-time round winner on his way to a maiden crown, something he has been close to before but never quite been able to grasp.
However, the Excelr8 Motorsport Hyundai i30 Fastback N Performance driver put all his past demons to bed in 2022 and prevailed at Brands Hatch at the beginning of October.
He is thrilled to have been selected as the MN Driver of the Year. He says:
“It is certainly a cool achievement to win. When the public can get involved and vote for their favourites, it is a nice thing to have your name put forward in the first place, but it is even nicer to win the award. It is a wonderful humbling experience to be voted for and thanks to everyone who did vote for me. It is a nice extra thing to round off this season’s success.”
“We had already done the legwork”
