BILSTEIN Sponsors Tegiwa Civic Cup For 2014

German suspension giant BILSTEIN has announced that it is to join the ranks of sponsors for the popular Tegiwa Civic Cup in 2014. The leading damper brand has a long affiliation with almost every genre and class of motorsport, and this latest signing follows an increase in sales for all Japanese marques for the company in the UK last year.

From the outset, The Civic Cup was created by racers, for racers, and has never failed to entertain both drivers and spectators from its very first race a few short years ago. In a surprisingly rapid period of time, the series has quickly grown, not only in terms of grid size, but also with regard to the sheer number and type of Honda machines that are now eligible to compete.

Thanks to sensible registration and entry fees, as well as access to the best tracks on the UK motorsport calendar, competitor registrations for the forthcoming season have already eclipsed 2013’s impressive starting point. With such delightful circuits as Donington, Cadwell Park and Silverstone International on which to do battle, the Tegiwa Civic Cup gives club-level competitors the chance to drive in the tyre-tracks of the sport’s greatest legends and series.

Commenting on the association, BILSTEIN UK Sales Manager, Aaron Quilter, said, “Naturally, we are delighted to be working with the Tegiwa Civic Cup for the 2014 season. As a brand we’re conscious that we need to keep close contact with the grass roots of British Club Motorsport – it’s every bit as important as the ‘factory’ work we do with race teams and our OE contracts. Many of these competitors will be running our road-product range, and it’s a superb way of proving how over-engineered these are. All of our B16, PSS9 and PSS10 coilover ranges can be re-valved and tuned to perfectly suit each driver’s requirements, making them the perfect, fully adjustable solution for drivers looking for a high-performance solution that offers excellent value for money.”

Series co-ordinator, Shaun Woods, said “BILSTEIN is a very welcome addition to our 2014 sponsor line-up. They’re a superb fit alongside our other top-tier brands, and they have an enviable heritage at every level of competitive motorsport. With such great support and access to their UK technical centre, I’m sure we will see more drivers moving across to BILSTEIN this year.”
