TOM Ingram secured his 100th podium finish in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) at Snetterton.
The Coventry driver finished second in race one driving for Droitwich-based Team Vertu.
However, a rare mistake saw Ingram suffer a DNF in race two before he came from the back of the grid to finish fourth in race three.
And Ingram’s second place finish in the first race of the day saw the Coventry driver achieve his 100th BTCC podium.
However, Ingram could not hide his frustration after suffering a potentially costly DNF in race two.
Ingram sits second in the drivers’ standings on 117 points behind early leader Ash Sutton (132 points).
Ingram said: “In the end it’s been alright, but I’m kicking myself over race two as that one was down to me.
“Despite that, we’ve scored decent points from a second and a fourth, and it could certainly have been a lot worse than it was.
“Even though the car wasn’t perfect in race one, I really enjoyed the battle with Ash before taking second, and then in the final race, having more hybrid and being able to deploy it at a lower speed made a massive difference.
“It was really enjoyable and it could have been even better if we’d not picked up a bit of damage from the incident with Jelley.
“Hitting 100 podiums this weekend is something I probably didn’t expect when I joined the BTCC grid and whilst I want to add more wins and more championships to it, it’s a nice number to reach.”
Team Vertu lead the teams standings on 231 points with Napa Racing UK just behind on 218 points.
The BTCC season continues at Thruxton on the weekend of June 7 and 8.
