The MG Trophy Championship
The MG Trophy is the most prestigious
Championship that the MG Car Club runs and is continuing to flourish, therefore
attracting a high profile status.
The championship runs MGF, MGF/TF and
MGZR in 160 & 190 BHP (Brake Horse Power).
The MG Trophy is the highest profile
single make Championship, run by the MG Car Club, which has its' own Website
including Photographs for even more exposure.
Our Company TGR Motorsport has its' very
own Website, which will have Race Reports currently being updated and also a
section to link your own Website, giving you added exposure.
Graphics on our Race Car &
Transporter, will also promote your Company throughout circuits in the UK (also
whilst being on the Transporter, this is a very good mobile way of
advertising). It also may be possible for banners to be up in the pits for our
larger Sponsors.
With free Race Meetings, Trackside
hospitality and Track days (at end of the season) to reward selected staff or
encourage potential Clients.
Use Regular Race reports on notice
boards and your Website to add additional interest for staff.
Why not bring existing or potential Clients to Race Meetings, using the relaxed atmosphere, instead of the usual office environment. Also as the Race Meetings are at weekends, this can be an opportunity to work more efficiently with no week day disruptions, giving added interest and fun and talking to our Driver (Ash Shuttlewood).
