Bridger first entered racing with a Cooper-JAP in 1953 and, once bitten by the bug, was back the following season, contesting minor events with a Kieft-Norton which he continued to race through 1955. Armed with a Cooper, he undertook a full season of F3 in both 1956 and 1957, enjoying some fantastic dices with 'the master', Jim Russell, usually emerging second best but dogging his rival's footsteps race in and race out.

For 1958 Tommy tried his hand at Formula 2, finishing second on aggregate in the minor Crystal Palace Trophy race, and eighth in the Coupe de Vitesse at Reims. His only Grand Prix appearance, in Morocco, ended in a crash from which he luckily emerged shaken but otherwise unharmed.

He returned to the circuits the following year, back in F3, winning four races in his faithful Cooper-Norton. In 1960 Bridger raced a third works Lotus Formula Junior at the British Grand Prix meeting.
