Experience The On-Track Avon Formula

Published: 17th May 2005

Avon Tyres has once again renewed its association with Castle Combe circuit making it the longest motorsport sponsorship in the world.

A remarkable fifty years on since the first deal was struck, Avon has agreed a new contract to provide tyres to the track’s popular Racing School.

The tyre manufacturer has an enviable pedigree within the motorsport arena thanks to its portfolio of 150 race series which exclusively run Avon rubber.

The tyres being supplied to Castle Combe have been specially selected for the vehicles they’ll be driven on.

The School’s Ford Focus models will run on Avon‘s ZV3 tyres, the single-seater Formula Fords on CR322s and Subaru Imprezas on ZZ3s. The latter are designed to run at high speeds and deliver the novice driver the security they need in the controlled learning environment of the race school.

"This is a very valued partnership, one based on our mutual enthusiasm for motorsport - both in the professional field, and also for first time novices on the track. We’re delighted to be continue of support of Castle Combe, something we have embraced since the early ‘50s," said Cooper-Avon Tyres’ European Marketing Manager, David Carson.

Castle Combe has a range of experiences to suit all, from single seaters to saloon driving experiences. Prices start from £95 inc VAT. For further information, please visit www.castlecomberacingschool.co.uk
