AmD Milltek & Onslow–Cole Part Company
AmD Milltek Racing.com have announced it has split ‘amicably’ with driver Tom Onslow-Cole, as he looks set to take up a drive elsewhere.
Tom joined AmD Milltek on the eve of the 2011 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship season after Shaun Hollamby gave up his seat in the Volkswagen Golf to concentrate more on the managerial side. Onslow-Cole and AmD had worked wonders this season scoring nine points.
However, shortly before race three at Oulton Park it became clear that driver and team had parted company.
“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,” 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.”
Further details on who will drive the Volkswagen for the remainder of the 2011 season will be made in due course.
