Thompson joins 100 race club

James Thompson was inducted today in the WTCC 100 Race Club, reserved for those drivers who have taken the start in one hundred World Championship races.

The Englishmen, one of the few current competitors who took part in the inaugural WTCC event back in 2005, reached the 100 mark three weeks ago in the second race at Austria’s Salzburgring.

Thompson is the fifteenth inductee in the WTCC 100 Race Club, his admission was celebrated in the paddock of the Moscow Raceway, where WTCC General Manager Marcello Lotti handed him the Club’s patch for his racing overall.
