# Tom Ferrier

Tom Ferrier (born 14 November 1981) is a British racing driver. He had a long running karting career, a milestone was winning the 1998 British Championship. He also won the Star Cup of the Formula Renault Championship the following year, before switching to more entertaining and less competitive saloon cars.
Ferrier captured two wins in the Renault Clio Winter series. In 2000 he was a competitor at the national Saloon Championship as well as some Class B BTCC races (the two series have closely related car classes) in an Alfa Romeo 156 prepared by Gary Ayles' team. For 2001 he originally signed to drive for Vauxhall in the Touring class, but chose to race in both the European Super Production Championship and the BTCC. In Europe ranked 12th of the field. Ferrier achieved number two ranking in the Under 25 Cup. In Britain he ranked 10th overall driving a JSM Alfa Romeo 147 in place of original signing Darren Malkin after the latter's sponsorship deal fell through prior to the start of the season. At Donington Park Ferrier led the field, but succumbed to an engine failure while running in second place.
For the 2002 season Ferrier focused on the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC), driving a DART Racing Alfa Romeo 156. His pit-support crew was from Alfa Romeo UK. In 2005 Ferrier was a frontrunner at SEAT Cupra Championship. Ferrier was nominated for a place in the 2004 BTCC by Carly Motors alongside countryman and driver James Hanson, but this was not to be. Ferrier participated in some Caterham races in 2004. Ferrier returned to the BTCC just two weeks before the final round of 2006, driving a SEAT Toledo bought by Motorbase Performance. Despite almost no time in the car before the weekend, he had two points finishes. Ferrier also made the British GT Championship races in 2006.
Beginning 2007 Ferrier drove in the British GT Championship, for Tech 9 sharing with Phil Quaife. Midseason he rejoined Motorbase for the BTCC. Heavy rain at that debut counted against him but he scored points at Snetterton. Involvement in the huge pile-up in race 1 at Brands Hatch eliminated him from the rest of that meeting, and the team opted to skip the next meeting at Knockhill to concentrate on the season finale at Thruxton. It was ultimately Paul O'Neill who was at the helm in that final competition of the season.
In 2009 he competed in rounds of the Time Attack series in a Subaru Impreza at the Time attack series hosted by Zen Performance.
Starting in 2011 Ferrier and former BTCC driver Danny Buxton formed Scuderia Vittoria. They entered teams in both the AirAsia Renault Clio Cup (4x Renault Clio Cup Cars) and the British GT (1x Ginetta G50, 1x Ferrari 458 Italia GT). At the conclusion of 2011, their debut season, Ferrier and Buxton had achieved 14 wins overall in both classes,
