It’s not just financial backing that they bring to the party, we’ll be opened up to a new audience we’ve never seen before, and that will hopefully bring more people down to watch! With MicksGarage.com joining us, and the addition of some great new cars on our grid, we should be flying higher than ever before!”
Speaking on behalf of MicksGarage.com, Rob King said:
“We’re delighted to be sponsoring the Irish Touring Car Championship and are really looking forward to the year ahead. We’ve had a couple of extremely productive meetings with the Championship organisers already and have a whole range of exciting ideas in the pipeline to help promote the class, broaden its appeal and bring ITCC to a new audience. We’d like to take this opportunity to wish all the teams and competitors the very best of luck for the year ahead”
The first official test day of 2015 took place last Sunday at Mondello Park where a huge turn out of competitors and spectators looked extremely promising for the year ahead. The ITCC class will be boosted by an influx of Seat Leon Supercup cars, supported by Murray Motorosport. The Seat's are an exciting addition to the class and as many as10 of them are expected by the end of the year.
