Stampede and Christie Digital, two high performance sales teams, are joining forces
to serve as Gold Sponsors of Sandy Mitchell Racing for the 2017 British GT Series
that gets underway this month, according to Stampede CEO Mark Wilkins.
“Stampede and Christie Digital are already tremendous partners in a wide variety of
commercial AV installations around the world, and now we are extending this
winning relationship to the track in support of Sandy Mitchell Racing,’ Wilkins said
today. “Hailed as the most exciting young driver in Scotland, the youngest ever
Scottish single-seater race winner, and the youngest ever race winner in British GT
history at the age of 16, Sandy Mitchell embodies the “can-do’ winning spirit and
drive for success that powers Stampede and Christie Digital’s teams every day to
exceed our European customers’ expectations.’
As Gold Sponsors of Sandy Mitchell Racing for the 2017 British GT Series season,
Stampede and Christie will each receive prime logo branding on the Sandy Mitchell
Racing website, helmet, race suit, and on the “Black Bull Garage 59 McLaren 570S
GT4 race car.” The companies will also receive VIP tickets to the series’ seven
races, which will be put to good use according to Stampede President & COO Kevin
Kelly. “Racing at a high level of performance characterizes Sandy Mitchell and our
Stampede sales team throughout the world. We’re going to emphasize this
important link in cultures by bringing our resellers from around the world to events
during the season. They’ll be able to witness first hand what it takes to win in
another highly competitive, performance driven environment. It will be an
experience that will help further motivate them in their local markets,’ he said.
The British GT Series is the UK’s leading race championship series. It visits all the
major circuits with over 30 of the worlds fastest, most desirable and loudest GT
cars, including cars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, Mercedes,
Audi, BMW, Nissan, Bentley, and the crowd’s favorite, McLaren. Races are one, two
or three hours long with two drivers in each car. Many of drivers and teams in the
British GT championship also compete at a world championship level. The teams
bring a level of professionalism rarely seen outside of Formula 1, with pit stops to
refuel, tire changing, and driver changes at every round adding to the spectacle.
Sandy Mitchell, having just turned 17, has already achieved so much success in the
world of motorsport. A multiple Scottish and British karting Champion and youngest
ever Scottish single-seater race winner Sandy has been described as “arguably the
most exciting young driver in Scotland.’ His front running pace and results caught
the attention of McLaren GT, and he grabbed the massive opportunity to race and
develop the brand new McLaren 570S during the 2016 British GT Championship. He
became the youngest driver ever to compete and win races in the history of British
GT at only 16.
