Camozzi renews F3 motorsport sponsorship
BFPA member Camozzi has renewed its sponsorship of F3 racing driver George Line for a second year, as he embarks upon a quest to regain the F3 Cup Championship title won in his debut season.
Following a challenging 2017 race programme which was beset with technical issues, George is now confident that he can regain the form that saw him become the championship trophy’s youngest ever winner.
Camozzi is widely remembered as a major sponsor of the high profile McLaren F1 team back in the 1990’s, when driving legends including Ayrton Senna, Mika Hakkinen and Martin Brundle drove cars bearing the company’s distinctive black and red logo.
George has recorded some impressive lap times in pre-season testing and will commence his quest for F3 victory at his home circuit of Donnington Park on 21st-22nd April 2018.
