Here, Onslow-Cole answers questions posted by you on a range of subjects...
Q James Nelson:
Has this season gone better than you expected after joining Vauxhall?
Tom Onslow-Cole:
If I'm honest, I expected to be up front, seeing as VX Racing is such a successful team. It's got to be hard to fail when you are surrounded by such a class outfit, with drivers as successful as Fabrizio and Matt.
Q Trebor901:
Do you ever think you're dreaming when you see you're in a team with Giovanardi and Matt Neal?
Tom Onslow-Cole:
Yes for sure, it really is an unbelievable package that I'm involved in. To be racing for the champions, in the championship winning car, alongside multiple championship winning team-mates really is a dream come true!
Q Trebor901:
Who was your touring car hero when you weren't racing?
Tom Onslow-Cole:
Uncle Matt
he was and still is awesome, and it's a real pleasure to be working along side him now!
Q David C:
How come you didn't test with Matt and Fabrizio this week?
Tom Onslow-Cole:
The testing programme was easily covered by the other two drivers.
