Chilton Targets Oulton Park Bounce-Back as Birch Eyes Strong Summer

As the 2025 BTCC season approaches its halfway point, Tom Chilton heads to Oulton Park this weekend determined to turn pace into points — and to reinforce his growing off-track role as the voice of insight and excellence behind Birch Gatwick’s premium vehicle storage offering.

Representing Team VERTU in the fiercely competitive British Touring Car Championship, Chilton returns to a circuit where he’s tasted victory before, but where recent seasons haven’t been so kind. Despite that, the veteran racer remains upbeat — and resolutely focused on progress.

“Oulton Park is one of my absolute favourite tracks — fast, technical, unforgiving,” says Chilton. “We’ve had real speed this year, and even though Thruxton didn’t give me the results I wanted, I’m confident we can put together three strong races.”

With his BTCC pedigree — over two decades of experience, race wins across multiple eras, and his encyclopaedic knowledge of performance cars — Chilton is the perfect fit as Birch’s Commercial Director and Head of Business Development.

Through blogs, behind-the-scenes content, and exclusive insights into the BTCC paddock, he’s helping Birch connect with high-end car collectors, motorsport fans, and discerning owners alike.

“What I love about Birch is the detail — it’s exactly like prepping a touring car. The climate control, the security, the way they treat every vehicle like it’s worth a million pounds. Because sometimes, it is.”

As Oulton Park hosts the fifth round of the season, Chilton is eager not only to bag a big result before the summer break — but also to show why his role at Birch is more than just brand alignment. It’s about shared values: professionalism, passion, and precision.
