Bristol Street Motors workshop technician Paul Harris is all revved-up for another season of motorsport after his employer showed its support with financial backing.

Bristol Street Motors Ford Worcester, which is part of Vertu Motors plc, has pledged the cost of his entry fee into the Britpart MSA British Cross Country Championship (BCCC) for the fourth consecutive year.

It will be Harris’ third year in the competition – the highest level of the motorsport - after securing and 11th overall finish last season.

​Harris, who won back-to-back victories in the trophy class in 2012 and 2013, was delighted to receive renewed support from Bristol Street Motors. He said: “I am hoping for a great season this year.

“I have just completed rebuilding and repainting the car for the forthcoming season, having made some modifications to the suspension with the hope of producing faster times and climbing higher up the leader board.

“The support I receive from Bristol Street Motors makes it possible for me to race against the best drivers in the country,

“It does give me great pleasure to showcase the Bristol Street Motors name on my car and fly the flag for my dealership.”

Stuart Lamb, general manager at Bristol Street Motors Ford Worcester, added: “The team at Bristol Street Motors is very excited for Paul and the season ahead, which will hopefully be another successful year for him.

“Paul is a hardworking and passionate member of the team, who does so much for his customers, so we were more than happy to continue supporting him into the forthcoming season.”
