A FORMER motorsport champion from Malvern is seeking sponsorship as he gears up for the new season.

Arty Cameron will be contesting the circuit racing championship which is sponsored by Track and Race Cars magazine once again. The National Monoposto Championship is the largest of its kind for single-seat racing cars in the UK. It is held over 13 rounds at the UK’s greatest circuits such as Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit, Brands Hatch and Thruxton.

It has been four years out of the drivers’ seat for 23-year-old Cameron due to lack of a racing budget and a a lot of time spent making his car more competitive by fitting a more powerful engine, The Yamaha R1 which produces 185bhp. The car itself is manufactured by Jedi Racing Cars Ltd and only weighs 320kg giving a power to weight ratio of 580bhp per ton.

This equates to 0-60mph in three seconds and a top speed of 155mph.

The season kicks off on March 28 at Brands Hatch where Cameron aims to start the season how he means to continue at the front. He said: “Being a privateer race driver is really difficult financially at my age, but I really hope to have a partner join me this season to ensure I can win the championship and grow their business through advertising in the local and national press.”

Any companies of any size, or interested individuals can contact Cameron direct on 07877 827109.
