Portable heating equipment supplier Arcotherm has pledged its support to all-disabled racing’s Team BRIT.
The firm, based in Alfreton, is the latest company to back the team, which supports people with physical and psychological challenges in accessing motorsport.
Arcotherm supplies businesses in sectors such as marquee and events, construction, horticulture and agriculture with portable heaters and ancillary parts.
Team BRIT will race in the Britcar Championship this year, and through its Racing Academy hosts track days across the country for disabled drivers.
Arcotherm has provided two Fire 25 portable heaters for use at events and races.
The company’s head of business Jim Bush said: “Being an avid motorsport fan with friends that race in different championships, I am only too aware of what it is like at race weekends and testing sessions in many of the pit garages.
“When I was made aware of Team BRIT and their uncomfortably cold garage, I researched the team and was astounded by their support and commitment to giving disabled people the opportunity to engage in a sport that would normally be out of reach for them.
“Once I had spoken with Dave Player and listened to his vision for the team it was obvious that any support we could give would make a significant change to their operation, the donation of the Fire 25 heaters is our first support to Team BRIT.
“We will continue with our support and wish the team and their drivers a successful year.”
