British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) racer Tom Chilton is heading to Snowdonia as part of his fitness regime.

The driver, who is also a columnist for the Sun, described how the walking challenge not only keeps him healthy and restores him physically from a gruelling weekend, but it also gives him the chance to spend time with Prestatyn resident and girlfriend Lauren.

Although he started in pole position in the most recent BTCC race, Chilton finished a disappointing fourth.

So, prior to the next meet on August 8th at Smetterton, he is fitting in a Snowdonia walking day and sticking to his strict diet.

“I’m going to dig deep to chase down that dream of mine – to be British touring car champion,” he added.

Chilton currently sits in ninth place in the BTCC standings – but with seven years of racing experience, his season is far from over.
