Tom Onslow-Cole, who made his BTCC debut back in 2007, has his sights firmly set on securing a drive with Team Arena to continue where he left off at the end of last year. Onlsow-Cole drove in the final three rounds of the season in a car which proved very competitive during the latter parts of the season.

Speaking to Crash.net, Onslow-Cole talked about if he had been looking at other teams for 2010. “Honestly, no, we haven’t looked anywhere else as Arena is where I want to be and we just need to work to make it happen. The talks are going good. I really want to go back there and I was blown away with the team and the car as well. I think it will be a strong car this season and I would love to go back. We are in the process of making it happen and are getting closer, but it isn’t a done deal yet.”

To back this up, Mike Earle, the Team Arena team boss, has expressed his interest in keeping TOC along with Tom Chilton who has already signed for Arena.
