Abarth Cars UK & Arnold Clark have announced that they are now the joint title sponsors of the Internatioanl Rallycross event which takes place at Knockhill on Sunday October 24th. It will now become known as the “2010 Fuchs Lubricants, Arnold Clark Abarth Rallycross Superprix”.
Peter Robinson from Abarth commented:
“Abarth and Arnold Clark are delighted to become involved with the 2010 Rallycross Superprix as it is a fantastic event. Rallycross is an exciting and accessible form of motorsport which is a perfect complement to our exciting and accessible Abarth 500 and Punto EVO sportscars. This will be the first time that the event has been held at Knockhill, but the home of Scottish Motorsport is sure to provide the event with the perfect setting as the leading competitors from British and European Rallycross go head to head for the prestigious Superprix title. We wish all of the drivers the best of luck at the event…let the battle commence!”
“The Superprix is firmly established as the traditional end to the Rallycross season and it is great for Rallycross to see Arnold Clark and Abarth becoming involved the sport. Knockhill is my home circuit and to claim the Superprix will be an honour as it would mean joining the likes of Kenneth Hansen, Christopher Evans and Kevin Procter on the winners list. After winning the Rallycross event at Knockhill back in April I will start the Superprix full of confidence as we attempt to snatch the title away from Kevin Procter. We will have three cars at the event, my Tony Bardy Motorsport prepared Peugeot 306 in the Supercar category and the two RX150’s, one of which will be driven by my son Mark.” added leading British Rallycross competitor Andy Scott (from Dumfries).
