Starting at Snetterton race track in East Anglia and then onto Silverstone, Knockhill, Donington Park and the infamous Brands Hatch Indy Circuit.

Tony Gilham, who previously was the world No 1 B.M.X pro in 1989, has gone on to become one of the most respected drivers in his class.

Michael Nascimento (Managing Director of Morgan Forbes) is pleased to announce the sponsorship and is excited to see where the team ends up at the end of the season.
“Tony is a great driver and his past pedigree tells me that he has the potential to win. Whether that’s this season or the next, we believe in his ability and the success that will bring him and Morgan Forbes.”
Michael who has a keen interest in motorsport believes that partnering with Tony is a fantastic investment for the company and looks forward to many more years of working with the Carrera Cup.
