Ben Barker winning driver
Sponsored by RK Print Coat Instruments, Parr Motorsport took the lead during the final lap to win the Porsche Carrera Cup GB/Carrera Cup France at Le Mans on Sunday 14 June.
Managing director, Tom Kerchiss said, ‘In terms of sponsorship this was very much a last minute decision on our part. As a company we have never been involved in sponsorship, let alone motor racing but it has certainly paid off. The RK logo was highly visible on the side panel of the car and on the front of Ben’s helmet and we were pleased to support Ben and proud to be involved in this on-the-edge-of -your-seat venture.’
Mr Kerchiss added, ‘Ben Barker wasted no time at the La Sarthe circuit, posting the second fastest time in free practice despite his lack of experience on this particular circuit. Overall the 2014 Porsche Carrera Cup race proved to be a lively run up to the famous main event, Le Mans 24-hour race.’
Mr Barker’s appearance at Le Mans is just part of a busy schedule for this up and coming driver who hails from Cambridge. So far his motor racing has taken him from Spain to Belgium, Monaco and Austria. Not to mention making his US motoring debut at the IMSA series in Detroit.
