The ACU Trials & Enduro Committee is pleased to announce a new partnership that sees Edmondson Racing as the title sponsor of the 2014 ACU Edmondson Racing British Enduro Championship (BEC).
The sponsorship will bring additional logistics and facilities to enhance the consistency and raise the profile of the championship. The sponsorship does not alter the organisational structure and the existing arrangements with ACU-affiliated clubs organising and promoting their individual rounds remains unaffected.
Dusty Martin, ACU Trials & Enduro Committee Member: “We are very pleased to have Edmondson Racing and their affiliates on board as title sponsor to this year’s championship. Derrick Edmondson of Edmondson Racing is a former eight-time British Enduro Champion, a former Dakar competitor and has a 40-year history in the sport. He brings a lifelong passion for enduro as well as commercial benefits. Together with the ACU, Edmondson Racing are keen to see the BEC enjoy a secure and progressive future, maintaining its position as the premiere enduro championship in the UK.”
Derrick Edmondson, Edmondson Racing: “I’m delighted to be heading a consortium of businesses in this venture. We share a passion for enduro and are keen to see the British Enduro Championship develop and prosper. Edmondson Racing together with Metzeler, Voltcom Group, Proseal and Putoline Oils believe that together, in providing additional resources to the championship, we can make a difference and lift the presentation and the profile of the sport while at the same time ensuring those organising and participating enjoy the championship to the fullest.
“With the first round of the championship now only six weeks away – the Mid West Enduro on March 8-9 – we are already speedily progressing the procurement of equipment needed by the organising clubs to provide the most professional events possible.”
