Britain’s top three karting classes are to be jointly sponsored throughout 2004 by Renault UK and BTE Lawline after the specialist legal services company announced its involvement with the series.

Speaking ahead of the new season, which begins at Three Sisters near Wigan on 6th/7th March, BTE Lawline sales director Tony Instrall said: “This partnership makes perfect sense as it brings together two brands inter-linked through dedication to, and passion for, motor racing. I’m delighted to confirm our status as joint-headline sponsor of the BTE Lawline/Renault championships.”

During 2004 the top three UK karting classes – Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA – will be respectively titled:

·         BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Kart Championship

·         BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Junior Kart Championship

·         BTE Lawline/Renault ABkC ICA Championship.

The partnership between BTE Lawline and Renault UK creates one of the most powerful alliances in national motorsport and will bring Britain’s top emerging young drivers from Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA closer to the country’s leading single-seater series, the Formula Renault UK Championship, and the top one-make saloon car championship, the ELF/BTE Lawline Renault Clio Cup.

 Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA form part of the ELF/BTE Lawline MSA British Super One Kart Series.
