POVER IN CRUISE CONTROL

Ashley Pover has launched a motor sports sponsorship consultancy, Cruise Control Consulting.

The former CEO of Rockingham Motor Racing Circuit in the UK has launched the company to identify opportunities for motor sports organisations to work with brands in a variety of ways.

Pover developed the concept of music and motor racing at Rockingham and established the Days of Thunder brand; the family-oriented elements included music events and attractions for youngsters, bringing in brands such as Lego, Learn Direct and Coca-Cola.

Cruise Control Consulting has been appointed to provide strategic consultancy for the Team Darkness Days of Thunder team, which will compete in the re-named Stock Car Speed Association (SCSA) series at Rockingham, Corby.

Cruise Control will explore further sponsorship and strategic partnership opportunities, in addition to advising on marketing strategy.
