Specialist heavy haulage trailer manufacturer Andover Trailers has renewed its sponsorship deal with Mar-Train Racing, the motorsport team run by Mar-Train Heavy Haulage.
Based in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, Mar-Train Racing is fielding two Suzuki racing bikes which will compete in a series of events throughout 2007, including select rounds of the British Super Stock and Irish Championships. The team will also enter its leading rider, Denver Robb, into the International North West 200, which is the largest sporting event in Ireland, attracting crowds of over 100,000 to see racing which is televised worldwide.
“We put our toe in the water for the first time with motorsport sponsorship last year, and it proved to be incredibly rewarding to be associated with a promising team such as Mar-Train Racing,” says Ivan Collins, Sales Director of Andover Trailers.
“It left us with no hesitation but to continue our sponsorship throughout the 2007 season, and we look forward to seeing how the team performs at the first British Super Stock round at Brands Hatch on Easter Bank Holiday, with Thruxton, near Andover, a fortnight later,” he adds.
In the build-up to the new season, Mar-Train Racing has just returned from a testing session in Spain where both riders – Denver Robb and Alistair Kirk – recorded strong lap times and reported feeling very confident on the new Suzuki GSXR 1000 K7 and GSXR 600 K7bikes.
The sponsorship agreement with Mar-Train Racing cements a long-term business relationship between Andover Trailers and Mar-Train Heavy Haulage, which most recently saw the company deliver a new Goldhofer trailer capable of transporting wind turbine towers weighing nearly 100 tonnes and up to 40 metres in length.
