Vertu Motors is proud to partner with The MINI CHALLENGE, a one-make racing series widely regarded as one of the most competitive in the UK.
We're delighted to be title sponsor of the series, which forms part of the package for the high-profile British Touring Car Championship, allowing us to promote the Vertu Motors brand in front of a large audience both trackside and live on ITV4.
As fans of everything automotive, our partnership allows us to embrace our Need for Speed!
The MINI CHALLENGE has been part of the UK motorsport scene since 2002 and is seen as both a stepping stone for young drivers looking to make their way up the racing ladder, and a series for more experienced racers seeking all-action competition.
Three classes currently operate in the MINI CHALLENGE, with the headline JCW class and the new JCW Sport class running exclusively on the BTCC package, featuring bespoke race cars designed to act as mini touring cars. The entry level Cooper class is a more cost-effective option for those on a tighter budget, but arguably provides some of the most exciting racing.
The series benefits from a high profile thanks to its links with the BTCC, with races held across the UK at iconic circuits that includes Brands Hatch, Silverstone and Donington Park.
With Vertu Motors operating car dealerships throughout the UK, the partnership with the Vertu Motors MINI CHALLENGE provides a way in which to directly interact with customers through a range of off-track activities, whilst trackside hospitality is a great way in which to reward employees for their efforts or to entertain corporate guests.
The partnership sees the Vertu Motors logo feature on the front screen headers of all MINI CHALLENGE JCW and Cooper Class cars, on the MINI CHALLENGE parts truck, hospitality trailer flags and more. The Safety Car used when MINI CHALLENGE cars are in action is also fully branded in Vertu Motors colours.
