Career

edit

Early career

edit

Before entering the BTCC, Smith primarily raced in VW cars, first in the Tomcat Vento Challenge (which he won in 2000), and later the VW Racing Cup, in which he was runner-up in 2005.

British Touring Car Championship

edit

In 2006 he competed in the British Touring Car Championship for the family-run In-Front team in an Alfa Romeo 156.[1] Their preparations were hampered pre-season, when a gearbox which was supposed to come ready-to-run was supplied in kit form and not until after the first race weekend. As a result, the team did the first race with an old-fashioned H-pattern box, and skipped round 2 completely. They never scored a top-ten points finish, and did not return in 2007, despite acquiring sponsorship from Jessops and appearing at the Autosport International Show.
