Ahead of the livery reveal, the team were aware that the new car would not be ready until VLN3, and so it was decided to race on with the older chassis and switch mid-season, anticipating that VLN1 & VLN2's results would be counted as the two drop scores at the end of the season.

[27] Philpot made his British Touring Car Championship debut in the final meeting of the 2020 Season at Brands Hatch, driving a Vauxhall Astra for Power Maxed Racing.

[28] When Adrian Reynard decided to produce a lightweight, road legal track day car in 2008, Philpot was approached for the role of test driver.

[34][35] Following the passing of Dan Wheldon at the 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship, the Autosport International Celebrity Kart Race took place in his honour in 2013 with the aim of raising funds for the Alzheimer's Society.

Philpot and his BRKC team won the event, finishing 1 lap ahead of their nearest rivals, including names such as Oliver Turvey, Rob Huff, and Ben Collins (racing driver), formerly 'The Stig' on the BBC television show Top Gear.

In winning the Celebrity Skills Challenge, he defeated Chris Hoy, stunt-driver Terry Grant, Ben Ainslie, and 4 time Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel.
