Joe Girling (born 14 January 1990) is a British racing driver who competed in the British Touring Car Championship in 2013 for Tech-Speed Motorsport, under the M247 Racing banner.
In 2011, Girling entered the Renault Clio Cup Trophy, a two-race event held at Rockingham. He finished fifth in the first race, and fourth in the second, driving a Stancombe Vehicle Engineering-entered car.[1]
In March 2013, it was announced that Girling would be driving for Tech-Speed Motorsport in the British Touring Car Championship, driving a Super 2000-class Chevrolet Cruze.[2] He made his début in the series at the opening round, held at Brands Hatch's Indy Circuit. He sat out the first two races due to a broken driveshaft,[3] before finishing eighteenth overall in the third race of the day.[4] At Donington Park, he took his first victory in the Jack Sears Trophy, following a series of retirements in the class, in the third race of the day.[5] Thruxton proved to be less successful, with his best result being third in class in race one.[6] He withdrew from the Oulton Park round of the series for medical reasons,[7] and missed the races at Croft due to an accident in qualifying.[8] He also missed the round at Snetterton.[9] Prior to the Knockhill round he decided to take a sabbatical from the BTCC.[10]
