Your Team Associate News Update – 22/02/16

New Local Associates

We are pleased to announce that The Lincolnite have joined the network as the head line sponsor. Their involvement will drive interest in this project and offer exposure to all team associates. They will also be instrumental in a project that will offer members of the public the chance to have their photos put on the car. We think this engagement with the people of Lincolnshire will also benefit our team associates and we are planning an open house event at the workshop prior to the start of the season.

Showcase Signs, based on Westminster Industrial Estate in Lincoln, have confirmed their support for the team. Tasked with the important job of producing the graphics for the race car they will work closely with fellow team associate World On A Tripod. The team at Showcase will also be responsible for producing the sponsors boards which will be displayed in the pit garage.

Pentagon Lincoln have confirmed their support for the team. They have become quickly established in the area offering Citreon, Dacia, Jeep, Mazda and Renault from their showrooms on Tritton Road. Other marques provided by the group include Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo, Peugeot, Fiat, Nissan and Seat. Pentagon Lincoln have exciting plans for their Renault dealership in 2016 and gaining an association with a local team competing in Renault UK Clio Cup was a logical decision.

Lincolnshire Radiators have renewed their support for the third year running. We have a close working relationship with the company and Manager, Dave Campbell, helped out during the rebuild of our Michelin Clio Cup Series car last year. Lincolnshire Radiators supply, repair & custom build radiators and fuel tanks for a wide range of vehicles with a specialism in classic cars and HGVs. The company is part of Partic Motor Spares and can supply number plates and a wide range of mechanical parts.

Regor Office Supplies have been a long term supplier to Paint Perfect and realising the potential in this project have signed up as the latest local sponsor. The business supplies a wide range of office equipment, furniture, stationary and consumables.

PP Motorsport took delivery of the car on 11th February following a test session at Brands Hatch on the Indy circuit. The first two rounds of the season are held on the 1.2 mile circuit that includes the famous Paddock Hill bend. The TOCA package then returns to Brands Hatch for the season finale in October held on the longer Grand Prix circuit.
The test was only Anton's second time in the latest generation Clio Cup car after winning a test session as part of his 2014 Michelin Clio Cup Series Road Class Champion's prize package.
The day was also the first time MWT Automotive got hands on experience with the new car. Working closely with Westbourne Motorsport they will have access to set up information and performance data from previous races to wring as much performance as possible from the Clio.
With fellow Clio Cup competitors including an ex-Clio Cup champion on circuit it became clear that Anton was on the pace and remarked that there is more to come from himself and the car. This means our first goal of top ten finishes for the early part of the season looks like an achievable short term target.
The test was quickly backed up with a track day at Donington Park which gave Anton more valuable time in the car. Despite the cold temperature the team were able to perfect the set up. Once again Anton was joined on circuit by another Clio. He had the legs on his competitor and spectators were treated to some nose to tail running when the controls of the other team's Clio were handed over to instructor, Josh Files. As it was a public track day overtaking is strictly controlled but it was good to see Anton on only his third session in the car hanging off the back bumper of the 2013 UK & European Clio Cup double champion.
