Touring vehicles and motorsports have always gone hand in hand, so much so that the luxury motorhomes of Travelworld have been sponsoring a winning team who drove to massive success recently at Goodwood.
Travelworld Motohomes were celebrating with lifestyle partner BAC (Briggs Automotive Company) at last week’s Festival of Speed. After the Mono supercar stormed to victory in the acclaimed Michelin Supercar Shootout.
The BAC team were able to make the most of their downtime by relaxing in of two Carado T447s as they made their way to the top of the leaderboard at the West Sussex annual Hillclimb, famed for attracting some of the rarest and most glamorous car on the planet.
BAC, which recently became the first climate positive car manufacturer in the world, won
the Michelin Supercar Shootout and became the fastest ever supercar at the festival when
driver Anthony Reid sent Mono up the famous Hillclimb in 49.13 seconds.
Travelworld Motorhome’s managing director, Ross Edwards – who first met Neill Briggs, Co-
founder and Director of Product Development at BAC, in 2001 whilst competing in ‘Global
GT Lights’ – offered his congratulations to the team on their success: “Well done to BAC – a fantastic win for Mono at Goodwood! Travelworld’s focus on striving for the best and representing quality and performance demonstrates the real synergy between our both brands.
When Neill told me nearly 10 years ago about his aspirations to design and build a single seater race car for the road I thought he was crazy but I also knew that once he had set his mind to something he very rarely allowed it not to happen, one of the things I have always admired about him. Ten years on Mono is still unique in the marketplace and attracts a huge amount of interest worldwide.”
Neill Briggs added: “We are absolutely delighted that we have now officially joined forces
with Travelworld, who – like BAC – are example-setters in their field. Travelworld offer the
absolute best motorhomes that are ideal for automotive events and perfect for the BAC
team.”
