Demon Tweeks to Partner Caterham Academy

12 January 2006

Britain's leading supplier of racewear, competition and road tuning equipment, Demon Tweeks, is to be a sponsor of the 2006 evo Caterham Academy, it is announced today.

Welcoming Demon Tweeks to the championship - Caterham's starter series for track novices - Caterham director of motorsport Magnus Laird said: "Demon Tweeks is long established as the country's top supplier of motorsport apparel and accessories, and as such is the perfect partner for the Caterham Academy, which does more than any other championship to encourage newcomers to the sport."

Steve Bell, Demon Tweeks marketing director, added: "Demon Tweeks is delighted to be a sponsor of the Caterham Academy in 2006. The championship is the ideal starting point for the newcomer to motorsport and we are very pleased to offer our support to it. The unrivalled Demon Tweeks product range offers all competitor requirements, from novice to seasoned professional, as they prepare for the season. We look forward to being of service to the Academy competitors as they battle it out in the coming year. We expect to see some great racing."

The evo Caterham Academy is the ideal starting point for any budding motor sport career, combining superb competition training and experience with unrivalled value for money. For a subsidised outlay of just £16,495 including VAT, entrants get not only a road-legal Caterham 1.6 sports car - theirs to keep - but also full ARDS tuition for their MSA National B racing licence, club membership, a test day with instruction, championship registration and paid-for entries into three sprint events, a hillclimb and four circuit races.

The Academy concept is one that has proved tremendously successful. Since its inception in 1995 the championship has produced 500 new racers, and since 2000 take-up levels have been so great that two completely separate championship groups have been organised, allowing up to 56 newcomers - 28 in each division - to get a foot on the bottom rung of the motor-sporting ladder.

The Academy attracts an eclectic mix of people and professions, including this season several students, a police officer, investment bankers, IT professionals, a Lloyds underwriter and a primary school teacher.

This year's championship gets underway in early February, when registrants will gather at the Castle Combe Racing School to sit their Association of Racing Drivers Schools examinations. In late March drivers will benefit from a special test day, again held at Castle Combe, ahead of the first competitive event, a sprint at Aintree on 22 April.
Based in Wrexham North Wales and with 35 years experience in motorsport equipment mail order distribution, Demon Tweeks has just released its largest ever catalogue.

With 426 pages, the Demon Tweeks Motorsport Catalogue offers quality motorsport products for competitors of all abilities and experience. With expert advice from a knowledgeable and experienced sales team, including Caterham builder and hillclimber Dave Kimberley, and more than £4.5million worth of stock for immediate delivery, Demon Tweeks looks forward to being of service to all motorsport competitors in the coming year.

Demon Tweeks offers a domestic next day delivery service, as well as worldwide delivery.
