Wet and Windy but still Wonderful

Sharp and the Prostate Cancer Charity were represented at yesterday’s SPEED race at Brands Hatch – and what a spectacle it was. Thanks to the support from Motorsport Vision, SPEED and the RLR team, we enjoyed a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness through’ Sharp4Prostate livery on cars and trucks, regular announcements on the Tannoy system and an interview for Sky Sports and Motors TV, with Paul Molyneux (Sharp MD) and Clara MacKay from The Prostate Cancer Charity.

The race itself started dry but soon turned into a dramatic tombola with cars spinning off and numerous subsequent safety car situations that bunched up the field for yet another sprint.  Eventually the race as stopped slighlty early and Paul Molyneux had the pleasure of handing out the trophees to the top 3 finishers. It was a wet end of the day, but this didn’t dampen our enjoyment and spirits!

A big thank you goes to:

  • SPEED: Oliver and Ingrid for all their help
  • Motosport Vision: Alan Tapson and colleagues for their help
  • RLR Team: Barry, Anthony, Jason, Nick and all the guys who give us a a great insight into their sport
  • The Prostate Cancer Charity: Lisa and Clara for their time and energy
  • Sharp: Andy & Tom, Jatinder, Khan, Nolly, Paul, Steve and Tommaso for their help
  • All the SPEED teams and team owners who did their bit to raise awareness
  • ProActive Television for their support and time

Thank you, Motorsport Vision!

Thank you, Motorsport Vision!

I just wanted to post a quick thank you note to express our appreciation of all the help we have been receiving from Motorsport Vision in preparation for our event at Brands Hatch on 1 August (see below). Alan Tapson and colleagues have been hugely helpful in ensuring our Sharp4Prostate team can raise awareness at this exciting event in two weeks time and a thank you also goes out to Stuart and Oli McCrudden, series organisers for their support as well. We’re all looking forward to seeing you soon.

Barry Gates testing at Brands Hatch

It will not have escaped your attention, I am sure, that SHARP4PROSTATE have teamed up with the SPEED RACING UK motor racing series. This exciting new series is due to be given ‘championship status’ by the british Motorsports Association, a clear sign that this is good, close racing and a proving ground for drivers aspiring to step up to the top rungs for Sportscar racing. On Saturday, 1  August 2009, members from both the Sharp and The Prostate Cancer Charity team will be present at the SPEED race taking place at the fantastic Brands Hatch circuit. With backing from the series organiser and Jonathan Palmer’s Motorsport vision, who own the circuit, SHARP4PROSTATE will be represented on all the cars taking part as well in in the paddock in the shape of a stand, banners and, of course, members of the team. We are there to raise awareness, hopefully some funds as well, and soak up the atmosphere.

The best news is that SKY TV will be there to cover it all – and to have a chat with our representatives. Like I said, if we want to raise awareness we need partners like SPEED to achieve it!
