Hoover is supporting emerging British motorsport talent as the British GT Championship reaches its final race, with driver Thomas Holland currently tied at the top of the standings on 127 points.
The partnership has seen Hoover's distinctive logo feature on Holland's race car throughout the season. With only the final high-stakes round remaining at Brands Hatch on 26–27 September, Holland and co-driver Hadley Simpson are in position to compete for the championship title.
Jim McEwan, Managing Director UK & Ireland at Haier UK, said: "We saw an opportunity to get behind a British talent at an exciting stage of his journey. There are clear parallels between motorsport and what we do at Hoover. Precision engineering, reliability and performance are essential to success, making this a natural platform to bring those values to life."
Holland's path to the championship lead has tested both driver and machinery. An engine failure at Snetterton forced the duo to retire from Race Two, but the team completed a full engine turnaround in an impressive 36 hours. More recently, after overcoming a post-qualifying disqualification at Donington Park, Holland fought from the back of the grid to secure a brilliant second-place finish, taking the championship lead.
Thomas Holland said: "My focus for the final race is to keep building on the progress we've made so far, deliver consistently and give ourselves the best possible chance of finishing the championship at the top."
With Holland currently tied at the top, attention now turns to Brands Hatch and whether he can secure the British GT Championship title.
Sirius and its network have raised well over £200,000 for good causes since the Group was founded.
Mark Veysey, Operations Director at Sirius Buying Group, said: "Twenty-five years is worth marking properly, and we wanted to do it with the Members and Suppliers who got us here. What I'm most proud of is how much the proposition has grown in that time. Between our Approved Suppliers, our Service Providers and the Bira partnership, there is very little a Member has to sort out on their own now, and they do all of it while keeping their independence."
