2MB SIGN RACING PAIR

Martin Brundle and Mark Blundell’s new sports management company, 2MB, has signed two young British motorsport stars, Tim Bridgman and Sam Bird.

The pair hope to benefit from former F1 drivers Brundle and Blundell’s motorsport experience and will be advised in legal, commercial, marketing and communications matters.

Nineteen-year-old Bridgman from Dunmow, Essex, won the 2004 UK Formula BMW championship in only his second year of single-seater competition, and will contest the championship class of the 2005 British Formula 3 championship with Hitech Racing.

Bird, 18, of Claygate, Surrey, recently signed to Fortec Motorsport to contest the 2005 UK Formula BMW championship after finishing second in the Formula BMW rookie class last season.
