Tom Chilton Remains with EXCELR8

24 Mon Nov 2025 by Knockhill
EXCELR8 Motorsport has today confirmed that Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship veteran Tom Chilton will once again form part of its driver line-up for the 2026 season.
 
The new agreement between Chilton and EXCELR8 marks the first time in his career that the former Independents’ Trophy winner has remained with the same team for five successive seasons and means the defending champions will continue to benefit from the knowledge of one of the most experienced drivers in BTCC history.
 
Tom Chilton said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have extended my stay with EXCELR8 and Team VERTU as there is nowhere else in the paddock I would rather be. “Considering how long it is since I first joined the BTCC grid, I can honestly say that I’ve never had as much fun as I did this year.
Justina Williams, Team Owner, said: “It’s fantastic that Tom will once again be part of our driver line-up for the 2026 season as he has become a hugely important part of the team in recent years.“The knowledge and experience he brings cannot be underestimated, and his results on track were a key part in us securing championship honours again this year.
