RICHARD EGGER INSURANCE TO SPONSOR HSA SPEED CHAMPIONSHIP

The Hillclimb and Sprint Association is one of the most active clubs supporting hillclimbing and sprinting in the UK. The HSA promotes its own sprint events and publishes "Speedscene" magazine, which is well known as the only regular publication reporting on hillclimbs and sprints in the UK.

The HSA also runs the HSA Speed Championship, with a calendar of 18 events and open to HSA members with a National B licence (or upwards). More information may be found at http://www.hillclimbandsprint.co.uk.

Following their successful ten-year relationship with sponsors Aldon Automotive, HSA Chairman Chris Bennett has announced that they are now to join forces with Richard Egger Insurance, who will be sponsoring the 2008 Richard Egger Insurance HSA Speed Championship.

Chris Bennett said:
"Richard Egger Insurance is a well-known specialist for all aspects of motorsport-related insurance and consider this relationship with a leading club in speed events the perfect way to develop their business and - at the same time - support newcomers to the sport, the area in which the HSA excels".

Confirming the agreement on 18 December, 2007, Chief Executive Richard Egger commented:
"The HSA have shown that they can work successfully with a sponsor. Hillclimbing and sprinting is a sector of motorsport that we wish to support and - following our policy of encouraging motorsport at its grass roots - the HSA Speed Championship is a natural place for Richard Egger Insurance sponsorship".
