Cobra has a thirst for knowledge and a development team that scours the globe for the latest technological developments.
It has resulted in Cobra using the most up-to-date 3D modelling software to achieve stunningly detailed tooling.
Pioneering techniques in Carbon Fibre SMC technology that has led to some of the automotive world’s most prestigious marques beating a path to its door.
And inventing a suspension seat that is so revolutionary it has made industry experts re-visit the very assumptions that have been a cornerstone of kinetic energy management.
The three races at Oulton Park took the British Touring Car Championship to the halfway stage of a fascinating season - with an unofficial race to see which driver would reach the summer break with a lead in the Drivers Championship.
Well, at the halfway stage of the British Touring Car Championship season, drivers using Cobra seats are one and two in the standings with Jake Hill just four points ahead of Tom Ingram … and Josh Cook and Colin Turkington are still very much in the mix, lying fifth and sixth in the standings.
Following his impressive form at Snetterton Jake Hill claimed his second double of the season with wins in race 1 and race 2 at Thruxton – the fastest circuit on the BTCC schedule.
However, it wasn’t a day without controversy and fellow “Cobra Boy” Tom Ingram felt somewhat aggrieved that his first place across the line in race 2 was relegated to a third place in the steward’s room leaving him with “just” two third place podiums on the day.
This time it was “Cobra driver” Jake Hill who enjoyed a double delight claiming two wins in the first two races of the day, putting in perhaps the most impressive drive of his career to date in claiming his 14th ever BTCC win in race 2.
Race 3 provided a clean sweep of the podium for Toyota and for drivers using Cobra seats: Rob Huff, starting 14th on the grid and taking full advantage of his choice of soft tyres, cut through the field to take the final win of the day. For the immensely experienced former World Touring Car Champion this wasn’t just his first win of the season it was his first win in the British Touring Car Championship for 20 years
