I thought I’d share a little bit of info on just one of the many projects we help with Sponsorship…
A little bit of background: “Originally created in 1996 as ‘Formula 600′. The name was taken from the Honda 600cc motorcycle engine that was fitted to the rear of the Jedi racing car, constructed by John Corbyn at his Northamptonshire workshops. The idea for a race championship was developed because the Jedi chassis was being used very successfully on sprint and hillclimb circuits throughout the UK.
Formula 600 was therefore created and backed by the British Racing and Sports Car Club (BRSCC) to produce identical performance single seater racing cars, that would provide a cost effective way to go motor racing. It would also teach the young and old about using slicks and wings. In 2000, Honda UK gave their support to the formula and the series became ‘Formula Honda’.”
All the cars are built to the same spec to keep it even, the regulations aim to keep the performance close between cars to make the races extra exciting. Many of the drivers have gone on to bigger and better things – so watch this space.
Adrian Flux are sponsoring a local driver – Rob Sayell (pictured left).
On his first meeting at Silverstone, got off to a slow start – as he missed the first race due to electrical problems, however our sponsorship enabled him to purchase new tyres that transformed the car helping Rob to finish 12th and come first in his class!
