Apollo

The team had been making a few alterations to the racing truck following a successful weekend at the ‘Convoy in the Park’ event at Donington in August, in preparation for the penultimate rounds of the European Truck Racing Championship.

Apollo UK TBR Sales Manager Steve Miller commented: “Apollo Tyres’ brand awareness has risen since our involvement in this venture, even surpassing our expectations. The level of support we have witnessed from members of the public and those associated with the truck and transport industry in general have allowed the company to promote the whole TBR product range to an audience who was unaware of our existence until a few months ago.”

“Thelma has certainly enjoyed her limited time in the spotlight this season and Le Mans is a wonderful circuit to promote our Endurace products to such a knowledgeable audience.”
