Corgi to Sponsor the 2003 Legends Cars Championship

Corgi and Legends Cars - The die is cast

Legends Cars have signed a three year agreement with Motor Racing UK to oversee commercial and sponsorship activities. The venture has already led to the introduction of leading die cast model brand, Corgi, to become the championship's title sponsor.

The 5/8ths scale 1,250cc Yamaha powered 'pocket rockets' are now entering their eighth season in the UK with an entry list resembling a chapter from a UK Motorsport's Who's Who.

"We are delighted and very excited with this agreement," said Legends boss Phil Cooper. " Legends Cars has always strived to be more than just a race series - it's entertainment too. Now, with Motor Racing UK and Corgi, we have a platform to explore some very exciting opportunities that drivers and race fans alike will want to be a part of."

Motor Racing UK's Managing Director, Keith Littler, added, "Legends is a series with an established fan base and enormous potential. It was clear to me from the moment I got involved that Corgi were a natural partner for the series and I am thrilled that the deal has come off.....and believe me, this is only the beginning!".

The Corgi Legends Cars 2003 Championship will be contested over 14 rounds, six of which will be raced on British Touring Car Championship race weekends.
