Racecourse signs up new car deal

A new breed of horsepower is being introduced to help Wetherby Racecourse keep its officials on track.

SsangYong York, based at Bilbrough Top on the A64, is set to supply the racecourse with a suite of vehicles for its meetings in 2020 to transport the Official race starters to each race, as well as providing the support vehicles that carry Doctors, who provide essential medical care at the side of the racecourse during a race meeting.

Paul Sanderson, Managing Director at SsangYong York, said: “Brand awareness is at the heart of horse racing’s appeal, where races command TV coverage and there are a number of race days featured on free-to-air coverage in Britain.”
