FIX AUTO UK REVEAL SPONSORED MOTORSPORT ATHLETE

The 25-year-old, a two-time Arenacross Pro Lite Champion, is hotly tipped to take the overall title in the Pro category in the 2023 AX Tour on his race ready 450cc bike. Fresh from a six-month spell in America competing in the AMA Supercross, Joe has been racing against the world’s best at World Championship level.

Fix Auto UK has sponsored the Arenacross Tour on three previous occasions, capitalising on mass brand awareness and the 2023 Tour will be no different. Having benefited from the extensive amount of event publicity that included national and regional TV coverage, the network has increased its role as the Tour’s Presenting Partner. With the addition of Joe as a sponsored athlete, the brand’s coverage will be on and off the track as Joe starts his Championship campaign.

Commenting on the addition of the professional athlete, Grace Weddell, Head of Brand and Communications for Fix Auto UK, said: “Joe’s dedication and racing expertise made him our first choice to be our very first Fix Auto UK sponsored motorsport athlete. It adds a whole new dimension to our partnership and we’ll be supporting Joe for the whole Tour and rooting for him to take the title!

Speaking from his South Devon home, Joe added: “I’m extremely proud to be appointed as Fix Auto UK’s sponsored motorsport athlete for the 2023 Arenacross Tour. From the Fix Auto UK bodyshops in the southwest and their involvement in previous AX Tours I am well aware of the network and their leading Franchise Partners. I’m proud to be part of the Fix Auto family and I’ll be giving it my best shot at taking the overall honours for them.”

Arenacross Tour will be staged at the SSW Arena, Belfast, on January 20^th and 21^st , it will then move onto the P&J Arena, Aberdeen, on January 28^th and 29^th, the Resorts World Arena, Birmingham, on February 4^th and climaxes at the OVO Arena, Wembley, London, on February 18^th.
