Webber helps Ingram prepare for BTCC season
It was a training session with a difference for BTCC rookie Tom Ingram at the weekend, as he got advice from former Red Bull Formula One driver Mark Webber.
Ingram was at the Porsche Human Performance Centre as part of the British Racing Drivers' Club's Superstars programme, which is run by ITV commentator Tim Harvey.
Webber, who will be racing for Porsche at the Le Mans 24 hour race this summer, was taking the Superstars drivers through an extreme race fitness course at the German marques state of the art facility at Slverstone.
“My first weekend on the Superstars programme is one I won’t forget," said Ingram.
"Firstly I’m aching badly now and secondly I was able to learn so much from it. Having the experience and knowledge of the Porsche Human Performance Centre on tap was brilliant. I will be able to use what I have learnt during my season which will be a huge benefit.”
" The guidance that Mark Webber offered was an inspiration to everyone," added Harvey. "It was the ideal physical and mental start to the season for everyone, and will be a huge benefit to the drivers as the year unfolds.”
