Career

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.
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. 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, before finishing eighteenth overall in the third race of the day. 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. Thruxton proved to be less successful, with his best result being third in class in race one. He withdrew from the Oulton Park round of the series for medical reasons, and missed the races at Croft due to an accident in qualifying. He also missed the round at Snetterton. Prior to the Knockhill round he decided to take a sabbatical from the BTCC.
