Of course, I want to fight for wins and if we can then who knows what could happen in the championship.”Promoting the company’s latest product, AlbumPlus X2, Serif’s partnership with the University of Oxford scholar will see a large number of corporate guests invited to the event and there will also be the chance for spectators to obtain a free commemorative software CD which the company is producing to mark its support of Will.Commenting on Serif’s involvement, Managing Director Gary Bates said: “This is a very exciting opportunity for Serif and we’re all looking forward to the Donington Park weekend, it’s set to be a huge event with over 100,000 spectators expected to attend. Promotion in front of that size of enthusiastic audience is obviously superb for the Serif brand.“I want to take this opportunity to thank team sponsor Apotex UK for being so welcoming to us and I sincerely hope the Donington weekend is one of the most successful of the season for Will and the team.
