British racing driver – BT Motorsport

Bobby Thompson is a 28-year-old racing driver with multiple seasons of experience in the British Touring Car Championship.

Having won the 2017 VW Cup Championship with six wins and two second-place finishes, Bobby Thompson stepped up to the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) in 2018. His early seasons were spent with Team HARD in both 2018 and 2019, before moving to Trade Price Cars Racing in 2020. Unfortunately, his campaign was cut short due to a major accident midway through the season.

After making a full recovery in 2021, Bobby returned to the BTCC with Team HARD for the 2022 season and made an immediate impact, clinching the Jack Sears Trophy at the wheel of a Cupra Leon.

Bobby continued to build on his momentum and remained a familiar face in the BTCC paddock. Despite only competing in one round of the 2024 season, he made an unforgettable appearance with the world-renowned West Surrey Racing (WSR) team, scoring more points than any other driver across the weekend and claiming a podium finish on his debut with the team.

Bobby has now been racing for over eight years and has set lap records at iconic venues such as Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium, as well as several circuits across the UK.

In 2012, he was identified by the Motor Sports Association (MSA) as a potentially elite competitor and went on to complete the Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence. He is also a fully qualified ARDS instructor, providing world-class tutoring and mentorship for drivers looking to improve their performance both on and off the track.

In recognition of his success and potential, Bobby was invited to join the British Racing Drivers’ Club (BRDC), an exclusive, invite-only organisation reserved for the UK’s most accomplished racing drivers.

Alongside his racing, Bobby works as a professional driver coach and high-performance instructor. He regularly partners with car manufacturers to showcase vehicle capabilities and delivers precision driving instruction at racetracks and high-performance track days. Bobby also coaches up-and-coming racing drivers across various championships, helping them fine-tune their technique and find those final tenths that make the difference between a good result and a great one.
