[edit] Career

Vaulkhard is a former motocross competitor, who began circuit racing in cars in 2004, by racing in the Northern Sports & Saloon Championship. For 2005 he switched to the SEAT Cupra Championship, with JS Motorsport. In 2006 he finished 9th overall, for the 2005 series winners Triple-R.[2] The 2006-spec cars were used for a special R-Class in 2007, which Vaulkhard won by finishing on the class podium in 16 of the 20 races.

His graduation to the British Touring Car Championship for 2008 with Robertshaw Racing was confirmed in December 2007.[3] His team-mates in the expanded team are the more experienced Matt Allison in another Lacetti, and Alan Taylor in a Honda Integra. Vaulkhard qualified 10th at Donington Park but scored no points [2].
