From Formula 1 to Sports Cars and Stox
Hospitality, grids and award ceremonies get
the Angels touch!
Angels has contributed to
a very wide range of motor sports and motor
racing events right up to and including Formula 1. This exciting formula has been dominated over
the years by British
teams and British technology but international newcomers are now making their mark.
Angels has run and staffed many promotional
and VIP Hospitality events for racing teams and is now helping
Panasonic, the lead sponsor of the Toyota Formula 1 team, with
promotions and hospitality. Angels has also helped oil and petrol companies such as Texaco and Mobil Oil with major promotional events throughout the country. In the past, Angels has also been dressed in the black and gold of John Player Team Lotus and the red and white of Marlboro - a major sponsor of motorsport.
One of Angels contracts is to provide staffing for Formula 1 sponsor Panasonic to promote their new digital photography technology at track days with Toyota at
various race circuits throughout the UK.

More
recently, Angels helped Equator at the British Grand Prix weekend with
hospitality for the DeWalt Porsche SuperCup racing team. The DeWalt team is
one the most successful teams in SuperCup with driver Patrick Huisman, winner
of four consecutive Porsche SuperCup titles, leading the charge.
Angels helped with the hospitality and also the Porsche racing simulator that
the team had there for their client's entertainment.
 
At the other end of the motorsport spectrum is stock car racing.
Spedeworth International held the
"SuperStox - Championship of the World" at Wimbledon Stadium in South
West London which was also celebrating its 40th anniversary as venue for
racing.
Mark Kelman came out the winner making it his
4th major
championship. But he had some luck along the way.
There
were four restarts in the race due to various incidents which meant that the
race was reduced to 35 laps. Kelman was involved in the second of these
incidents in a spectacular way as he slid most the of way down the home
straight on his roof. He was lucky to be able to rejoin let alone win
the race (minus his roof wing!).
Angels helped with the prize giving and
presentations at the event rounding off a thoroughly good and crowd pleasing
final.
In 2005 Angels provided two teams of track and hospitality staff to
Sportsbook.com - the sponsors of the Grand Prix of Atlanta at America's
famous Road Atlanta. As well as sponsoring the event, Sportsbook.com
also sponsor a car in the American Le Mans Series run by B-K Motorsports and
driven by Jamie Bach and Guy Cosmo. It was a first run in the series
for the LMP2 Class Mazda and the team finished second in their debut in the
Mazda-powered No. 8 Courage.
At
the front, JJ Lehto and Marco Werner
drove their No. 1 Champion Racing Audi R8 to victory in another
history-making day in the American Le Mans Series. Lehto
posted his 22nd career class victory and his fourth win in a row at Road
Atlanta. His class victory tied Sascha Maassen for the ALMS all-time
record.
Yet another example of Angels making a
big impact at an international event!
