Macklin Motors has increased its support of Ronan Pearson in the Jack Sears Trophy.
The 21-year-old enjoyed the best weekend of his rookie campaign in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship at his local circuit, powering his BRISTOL STREET MOTORS with EXCELR8-run Hyundai i30 Fastback N to a hat-trick of top-seven finishes.
“It’s been great to have the support of the whole team at Macklin Motors over the course of the season, and the results at Knockhill really showed the progress we’ve made,” Pearson said.
“Having shown that I can race towards the front of the pack and had a taste of what it feels like to lead a race in the BTCC, I’m looking forward to the final three rounds of the season, and trying to fight for the Jack Sears Trophy alongside Macklin Motors and all of my other sponsors.”
Robert Forrester, chief executive of Macklin Motors, added: “We are pleased to work with Ronan and delighted with his Knockhill success.
“He is a young driver at the start of his racing career and as a major sponsor it is important that we support him not only financially, but with providing help and guidance to enable him to engage with other organisations, and increase his profile in the racing industry.
“Good luck, Ronan, for the remaining races of the season.”
