TFC Europe Ltd entered the world of championship motor racing with its sponsorship of rising Genetta G20 star, Kieran Vernon. 18 year old Vernon has already carved an impressive racing career in his short time behind the wheel and currently leads the G20 championship driving for Team TFC Smalley.
Kieran’s impressive driving skills has seen him leading the pack and winning his last two outings in the TFC branded Ginetta G20 in what has been an remarkable start to the season. With his next outing coming up at Brands Hatch in July, 18 year old Kieran relishes the opportunity of getting behind the wheel on a circuit close to home. “I have had a dream start to the season this year. The car is working great and TFC’s support has been a fantastic boost for our team.”
Kieran Vernon who has already won two British karting championships in 2006 and 2007 was a natural choice for TFC Europe Ltd to sponsor. The move into racing cars for Kieran has been an extension of his ability to seemingly drive any type of vehicle and follows a runner-up position in the G20 Junior series last year.
“Kieran has the same abilities that TFC recognise within our own company. He has a drive and willingness to succeed backed with a professional determination that puts him ahead of the field.” Brian Goode, Technical Director at TFC commented. “When we were looking for a young person to invest in, who was locally based and a natural winner; Kieran immediately sprang to mind. We are sure that our partnership will make a winning combination that brings together the strengths of TFC with the skill and ability of Kieran to produce a winning team.”
