Tom Ingram has also picked up a major sponsor from the sounds of it and that will be announced in due course.

Everytime he crashes we might think, "Martin again..." :ohmy:

Good to see a big brand in the series and it's nice to have Jackson confirmed early for a change.

Looks like PMR are to announce their second driver tomorrow and it looks like Tom Chilton will be the driver

Gaara · PostPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2016 1:10 pm

Crawling back...

Chilton was average in a Vauxhall 10 years ago, so it'll be a case of history repeating.

pimmy · PostPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2016 4:42 pm

He'd give us all something to laugh at if he does come back.

I still see him as the slightly more talented and level headed of the Chiltons, but that's really really not saying much.

Still, y not Thompson

Because Thommo is a dick with delusions of grandeur

codename_47 · PostPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2016 11:27 pm

Yeah, but it seems we're destined to get one of those back next year already, so why not just one I LIKE :whistling:

LOL most people round here consider Max the more talented brother, at least he's level headed enough to not get anybody pregnant by accident yet...

Good line-up at PMR.

Ian-S · PostPosted: Mon Dec 19, 2016 8:54 pm

Oh well at least a few people at the Sorry Error, oops I mean Surrey Mirror, will stay employed for another year chartering Toms adventures for the plebs to read about, maybe he might switch on the Christmas Lights next year if he wins a lot, give Shane Ritchie the night off for once :lol:

Seems like the perfect time for the Chilton mediocrity update:

2002
13. Aaron Slight - 32 pts
15. Chilton - 14 pts

2003
3. Matt Neal - 148 pts
5. Alan Morrison - 125 pts
9. Chilton - 70 pts

2004
5. Neal - 181 pts (customer team)
8. Dan Eaves - 148 pts (customer team)
9. Chilton - 116 pts (works team)

2005
5. Chilton - 175 pts (a bit of an outlier this one, no team mate to compare to and he actually finished ahead of Turkington & Collard despite missing 2 events)

2006
5. Fabrizio Giovanardi - 163 pts
7. Chilton - 139 pts
8. Gavin Smith - 123 pts (also a rich-daddy driver like Chilton)
26. Erkut Kizilirmak - 0 pts (only 2 events)

2007
1. Giovanardi - 300 pts
9. Chilton - 130 pts
15. Alain Menu - 13pts (only 1 event)

2008
7. Gordon Shedden - 144 pts
10. Chilton - 107 pts

2009
13. Chilton - 55 pts
21. Tom Onslow-Cole - 4 pts (only 4 events)
24. Morrison - 2 pts (first 4 events only, equalled Chilton's score until that point)

2010
4. Onslow-Cole - 200 pts
5. Chilton - 191 pts

2011
7. Chilton - 135 pts
13. Onslow-Cole - 61 pts (only 6 events as team-mates, only scored 30 points less in that period)
18. Andy Neate - 15 pts (no achievement here, a brain-dead chimp could beat him)

2012
20. James Nash - 12 pts
22. Chilton - 7 pts

2013
1. Muller - 431 pts (de-facto works team)
3. Nash - 226 pts (customer team)
5. Chilton - 213 pts (de-facto works team)

2014
7. Tom Coronel - 159 pts (scored nothing at Marrakech and completely missed Paul Ricard)
8. Chilton - 150 pts

2015
11. Chilton - 96 pts (had all the latest updates on his car)
13. Coronel - 39 pts (didn't)

2016
5. Mehdi Bennani - 206 pts
8. Chilton - 163 pts
16. Gregoire Demoustier - 11 pts (similar case to Neate in 2011. Only three points finishes all season in a Citroen, and one of those was inherited via the Honda disqualification.)

Chilton's most successful season was the one where there were only 11 permanent participants.
