Kärcher supplies the team with access to a range of equipment to keep its Surrey-based workshop in top shape, along with web shop credit for products and consumables to help achieve its goals. This year, it has also increased its financial support as the team ramps up its move towards Le Mans, with its biggest ever contribution.

Mike Scudamore, commercial director at Team BRIT, said: “We are incredibly privileged and grateful to have had the support of Kärcher for so long. It’s fantastic that they have seen us grow over the past seven years, from a small team with big dreams, to a large organisation with huge impact on our sector. Their help and support is helping us move towards our Le Mans goal, but is also allowing us to inspire and motivate others through our work to make motorsport truly inclusive.”
