​

"I am really looking forward to joining Ciceley Motorsport in their new era" Chilton said. "They are a great team, and the BMW will be ultra competitive. Adam and I get along really well, and we will work as hard as required with team engineer Steve Farrell to ensure we are at the front of the pack straight away.

Excited

Team owner Russell Morgan has expressed his excitement about the prospect of not just Chilton joining the team, but his partnership with Adam Morgan and believes they can battle it out at the front of the grid.

​

"We have genuinely never been so excited going into a race season. I have only ever been racing because I enjoy it, it's something that I have always done, but we have made massive investment into the team this year and need results. Therefore, it was of the upmost importance that we secured a driver who brings experience, technical ability and is able to move us forward as a team. Tom is the perfect fit for Ciceley Motorsport both he an Adam should be fighting at the front from the get-go, "said Morgan.
