KIDDERMINSTER driver Nathan Freke has been given a much-needed financial boost after agreeing a sponsorship deal with one of the country’s leading driving safety companies.

The 25-year-old will help spearhead driving safety campaigns after teaming up with the How’s My Driving? organisation.

The deal will take some of the financial strain off Freke, who leads the Ginetta G50 Cup after three podium places at the Croft over the weekend, and help pay for expensive necessities such as tyres for the next few rounds.

The Century Motorsport man had been funding the current season from his own pocket.

“Obviously the speeds we achieve on the track far exceed those reached on the public highway but in either environment, make a mistake and you run the risk of endangering your own life and the lives of those around you,” commented the driver.

The deal will see Freke become a spokesman for the independent service on road safety.

His Ginetta will also have the distinctive How’s My Driving? badge, often seen on the back of professional vehicles, on its rear.

“We are delighted to team up with Nathan and Century Motorsports”, said How’s My Driving? spokesperson Gemma Bowes.

“The aim of our organisation is to promote safe driving in all areas of life including private motoring and commercial haulage.

“We know that there is a high percentage of young drivers in the Ginetta audience and hope that our involvement with Nathan will help to make them aware of the need for safe driving whenever they get behind the wheel of a car, van, lorry, or even a racing car!”
