Thompson gets BTCC WSR BMW test at Brands
WSR has offered Bobby Thompson a test opportunity for the Wednesday test only, aiming to finalise the team lineup for the 2024 season alongside Jake Hill, Colin Turkington, and Adam Morgan. Thompson, the 2022 Jack Sears Trophy sub-division champion, has primarily raced with Team Hard in his BTCC career’s 130 races. Despite achieving his best BTCC result with second place last season, Thompson faced budget constraints hindering his full season participation. Thompson’s return for the final two rounds impressed Matt Neal, leading to an opportunity to test the BMW 330e M Sport at Brands Hatch, potentially securing a race seat for 2024. WSR chief Dick Bennetts acknowledges Thompson’s talent and loyal fanbase, highlighting the importance of the upcoming test and emphasizing the team’s commitment to securing their fourth BMW on the grid this season.
