Barwell Motorsport is First British GT Team to Become EEMS Campaign Partner
16
March 2007
Barwell Motorsport is the first British GT team to be accepted as
an EEMS Campaign Partner, signing up to a six point charter of actions
demonstrating their commitment to energy efficiency. EEMS, Energy Efficient
Motorsport, is a Motorsport Development UK programme funded by the
DTI and regional development agencies.
The EEMS Campaign Partner certificate was presented to Mark Lemmer,
Managing Director of Barwell Motorsport, by Alan Mercer, EEMS Programme
Manager: "When we first talked with Barwell, we could see a team
who would demonstrate energy efficient motorsport both on and off the
track,” said Alan Mercer. “Barwell is the first team to
convert a high performance sports car to compete on bioethanol E85
blend. The British GT3 championship is new to EEMS and we are delighted
to recognise their efforts and to welcome the team as one of our first
EEMS Campaign Partners. This is a project we will be hearing a lot
about during the season, as EEMS works with Barwell to promote the
benefits of sustainable motorsport."
Mark
Lemmer commented: "We are delighted to be able to promote
the EEMS initiative in 2007. Everyone at Barwell Motorsport takes the
environmental issues that we are facing very seriously. Developing
the Bio-Ethanol Aston Martin DBRS9 and becoming an EEMS Campaign Partner
are important steps towards tackling these issues."
By signing up to the six point charter, organisations will receive
updates from EEMS, networking opportunities, invitations to specific
EEMS Campaign Partner events and the team can promote their status
as an EEMS Campaign Partner to sponsors and investors.
The Campaign Partner initiative is open to all organisations in motorsport:
suppliers, race teams, championship organisers, regulators and circuits.
More organisations will be endorsed as Campaign Partners in the next
few weeks.
