Volkswagen fuels racing dream

A Bury St Edmund’s business has gone the extra mile after confirming its sponsorship of a motor racing talent for a third season.

Northgate Volkswagen will provide financial support for Rupert Svendsen-Cook who is currently a British Formula 3 driver in the Raikkonen Robertson motoring racing team.

The 21-year-old’s career is going from strength to strength as he is being touted as a driver for various European teams and appreciates the support of a local business.

Rupert, from Bury St Edmunds, said:

“Having the support of Northgate Volkswagen is hugely valuable to my racing career. I am very proud to promote the retailers name not only in my local area but also nationally.

“As a young racing driver finding sponsorship to secure my ongoing career can be difficult. So it is a relief to having the consistency of Northgate’s’ sponsorship and I am very grateful to them.”

Rupert has already made a significant impact on the racing season after successfully finishing third at the European F3 Championship at Brand Hatch, which was his first race in nine months.

Robert Rolfe, Northgate Volkswagen’s brand manager, said: “We are more than happy to continue our sponsorship with Rupert and look forward to seeing him continuing to build his profile in the racing arena.”
