Sam Tordoff secured his first podium since switching to West Surrey Racing
RAWDON racer Sam Tordoff earned his first podium position of the season in the British Touring Car Championship at Thruxton.
Tordoff, grandson of JCT600 founder Jack Tordoff, finished a respectable third after previous 11th and sixth finishes – his first podium since making the switch to West Surrey Racing.
He had to fend off the team's former driver, defending champion Colin Turkington, who experienced a quiet weekend.
The weekend's results leave Tordoff ninth in the overall standings with 71 points from the opening three races of the new season.
