Onslow-Cole leaves AmD Milltek during weekend

Tom Onslow-Cole has parted company with AmD Milltek Racing, between the second and third races of the race weekend at Oulton Park to take up a drive elsewhere.

The 23-year-old from New Malden joined AmD Milltek Racing from Arena Motorsport after a strong season in the British Touring Car Championship, taking four victories on his way to taking fourth in the championship, battling for the title with Jason Plato, Matt Neal and Gordon Shedden at the season finale at Brands Hatch.

“We have enjoyed working with Tom during his short time as part of the AmD Milltek Racing.com team and wish him all the best for his future career,” said Team Principal Shaun Hollamby said.

“We were told of Tom’s decision 15 minutes before the final race today at Oulton Park and that he would no longer be driving for us.”

“AmD Milltek Racing.com is staffed by a strong and talented group of people who will continue working hard to build on the progress we have made this season. As a team, we remain focused on moving the Volkswagen Golf up the BTCC grid and will evaluate replacement drivers to allow us to continue with the progress made so far through the remainder of the season.

“We would like to thank Milltek and Tesco Momentum 99 for all of their support during our exciting campaign so far and look forward to further success on track.”
