Another important name joins the campaign

British motor racing driver Oliver Webb has pledged his support to the Freedom to Go campaign, and will play an active role in it throughout the whole 2015 racing season.

As new ambassador of the NCC‘s campaign, in conjunction with The Caravan Club and The Camping & Caravanning Club, the talented SardMorand‘s driver Oliver Webb will be blogging on the official site of the initiative, talking about his racing season and his experience with leisure vehicles.

With the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) kicking off this weekend (10-12 April) and a Bailey Approach Advance 615 motorhome to assist his racing in the prestigious 6 hours of Silversone, Webb will have plenty to share with fellow leisure vehicle enthusiasts about how the motorhome helps him achieving his goals, enhancing his time spent at the track and having fun.

Rachel Piggot from Freedom to Go is enthusiastic of Webb joining the campaign, saying: “It’s fantastic to have Oliver on board as an ambassador. He’s a young up and coming sportsman who is an inspiration to people both young and old.

“He’s not only interested in fast cars, but the importance of a healthy lifestyle and enjoying the great outdoors. Freedom to Go will be following his progress and run exclusive blogs from Oliver throughout the year. Stay tuned!”

Webb, being a young leisure vehicle enthusiast, is surely the perfect person to spread around the campaign. He enjoys the positive aspects of owning a motorhome, as he explained: “I’m delighted to be working alongside Freedom to Go as an ambassador. Within endurance racing us drivers know far too well the discomforts of sleeping and living at the racetrack, a stressful, noisy and loud environment.

“Getting away from it all into the comforts of a motorhome walking distance from my garage is a saving grace, somewhere to relax, chat to family and team members and rest in peace between the heavy night stints at races like Le Mans. No more sleeping in the crates that the cars came in like we do in the Dubai 24hours,” he continued.

Rachel Lockyer, Bailey marketing manager, said: “Everyone at Bailey of Bristol would like to wish Oliver the best of luck for this racing season, and we are delighted that our new Approach Advance motorhome is being the perfect support vehicle at a sporting event like the opening round of the WEC. It will provide him with plenty of seating areas to relax in, plus facilities to freshen up and provide hot or cold nourishment and drinks whenever he needs them.”
