BMH GRANTED TITLE SPONSORSHIP OF THE MGCC DONINGTON RACE MEETING AND ITS EQUIPE 3 HOUR RELAY - JULY 20/21

British Motor Heritage (BMH) will be playing a multi-faceted role in the MG Car Club’s major summer race meeting at Donington Park on the weekend of July 20/21. Not only will the company be the title sponsor of the whole event, but also that of the popular Equipe 3 Hour Classic Relay race that takes place on Saturday. Last but not least, it plans to run its own trio of race cars (an MGB, Austin A40 and Mini Cooper S) in the relay, and have a display of its wares in the paddock.

Said BMH’s Managing Director John Yea: “We are delighted to provide such backing to the MG Car Club (MGCC), which continues to organise excellent race meetings for exactly the type and period of cars we help keep in existence by our supply of original-quality replacement panels and bodyshells.

“Supporting the third running of the Equipe 3 Hour Relay is also something of a no-brainer, as we applaud the way Equipe Classic Racing has created a ‘trophy’ event in the style of the Spa 6 Hours and Birkett Relay Race, but one that’s more affordable and kinder to the type of smaller-engined cars that dominate British classic racing. Besides, we love competing in it!”

Said MGCC organiser Andy Green: “This is an exciting first for the MGCC, as we have never before sold the title of one our events, and are delighted to have made such an arrangement with BMH, as it’s the perfect fit for both parties. We look forward to what promises to be a great weekend of classic motorsport.”
