The Super One Series is proud to welcome Edgar’s Hyundai as its headline sponsor and new partner for the 2012 season.Edgar’s Hyundai are a well known and highly respected motor vehicle dealer chain in the Cumbria north-west region of England and the family firm has a long association with kart racing.
Iredale Edgar started racing in 1961 when he purchased a Trokart/Clinton in 1961. His son Terry Edgar won the Little Green Man Championship, the precursor to the Super One, in 1977 and his sons Justin and Jason share six Super One titles between them. In 2012 Jason Edgar will compete in Formula KGP and the newest generation in the shape of 8 year old Jonny Edgar (Justin’s son) will be having his first taste of national competition in Comer Cadet.
Edgar’s Hyundai are offering discount packages on Hyundai cars to Super One competitors, so please search out the family in the paddock, view the cars, see their advert in this programme or visit www.edgars.co.uk . Hyundai believe it is good to be different, it’s what keeps them ahead of the rest and has helped them on their way to be the fifth largest automotive manufacturer.
Justin Edgar said that Edgar’s Hyundai are delighted to be associated with the 2012 series and added: “I believe that John Hoyle and his team have done a superb job in promoting Super One, maintaining the fine tradition established by Neil Hann. It’s a proven competition that has encouraged more than 360 competitors to register this year, creating an all time record despite economic uncertainty elsewhere.
Many of today’s top motor racing stars have made their names by first winning at Super One level. I’m quite confident that one or two competitors racing in 2012 will be turning heads at future F1 races, too. Whether F1 is the ultimate goal or your expectations are simply to enjoy a good weekend competing against Britain’s top karting talent, this Series has something to offer everyone. Have a great year!”
