The 2013 SiliconHoses.Com Sports and GT Championship
SiliconHoses.Com, the UK based manufacturer of motorsport hoses and fittings, announced its plans at the recent Autosport show to become the title sponsor of the 2013 Sports and GT Championship at Castle Combe.
This popular series notches up its 31st year in 2013, with regular gates of over 5,000 race-fans attending the demanding Wiltshire circuit. The key to the series’ success is the sheer size and diversity of its grid – with Evos battling against BMWs, Toyotas and Fiats and even full blown, purpose-built race specials like Radicals and Jades, which can exceed over 160mph on certain parts of the circuit. With sensible race fees and a great pitlane camaraderie it has become one of the biggest draws in the circuit’s programme for both racers and spectators alike. With TV coverage in place once again forth Motors Live meeting on the 8th May, the SiliconHoses.Com Sports and GT Championship looks set to be one of the UK’s most high-profile club series.
The deal will see SiliconHoses.Com take full naming rights on all printed programmes, TV listings and have significant presence around the circuit itself. Commenting on the association, general manager Geoff Nurton said, ‘We already have a great relationship with Castle Combe circuit, so becoming title sponsor of this exciting series seemed like the perfect next step. The diversity of the grid and the level of engineering on show is the perfect fit for our brand and indeed, many of the racers are using our products already. It’s great to support our local circuit and we’re already looking forward to a season of great racing.’
Castle Combe’s Rodney Gooch said ‘We’re delighted to extend our relationship with SiliconHoses.Com and its parent company, Forge Motorsport. This is one of the most exciting club championships in British motorsport, and with a great sponsor behind it, we’re looking forward to delivering racers and race-fans a packed calendar of action all year.’
