“We were really pleased to have Britz involved with us last year and are now excited to have further support in 2012. At this stage we will be doing only selected events but we are keen to perform well with the plan to return to the full series in 2013” said driver Butcher.
For anyone that has ever wanted a weekend away but wasn’t sure where to go – Britz provide the ultimate solution. The vans are family friendly and easy to drive making them suitable for pretty much everyone.
