Castle Combe based supplier Merlin Motorsport are to award prizes at each of the 2006 races for the "Merlin Motorsport Driver of the Day" as part of a wider sponsorship agreement with the Kumho BMW Championship.

"During the season, we will be awarding a £50 Merlin Motorsport gift voucher to the driver in each race who has showed courage , determination and real racing skill on the track", says BMWRDC president Trevor Ford.

"We were approached by the BMWRDC with a promotional package that provides us with great covergae and also allows us to give something back to the sport. The racing is close and exciting and the championship has a strong following, making it a sound proposition ", said Merlin's Steven Roberts.

The move sees Merlin Motorsport join Kumho and the BMW Car Club GB as sponsors in 2006. Registered drivers already receive free membership to the BMW Car Club and all of its related offers and member discounts, whilst Kumho provides essential backing as series title sponsor. "The move to partner with Merlin further develops the package we are able to offer drivers who race in the championship whilst delivering superb promotional opportunities in return" says Trevor.
