Solidifying the connection between Oxford's automotive heritage and the exhilarating sport of speedway
/The Real Mini Company and SD Timmo Car Sales Join Forces to Back Oxford Chargers in 2024 Speedway Season
Berinsfield, December 15, 2023 — The Real Mini Company, a renowned Mini restoration and service provider based in Berinsfield, is thrilled to announce its partnership with SD Timmo Car Sales as the title sponsors for the Oxford Chargers in the upcoming 2024 National League speedway season.
Oxford Chargers, the reigning champions of British Speedway's third tier, are set to embark on the 2024 season with a new title sponsor, marking a significant collaboration between us and SD Timmo Car Sales. The team will now be known as "The Real Mini Company Oxford Chargers powered by SD Timmo," reflecting the united support from our two dynamic companies.
Oxford holds a special place in automotive history as the home of the iconic Mini, and this sponsorship solidifies the connection between Oxford's automotive heritage and the exhilarating sport of speedway. As The Real Mini Company, led by speedway enthusiast Daniel Budd, pledges its support to the Oxford Chargers, the partnership takes on added significance given the proximity of the speedway venue at Sandy Lane to the city's Mini Plant in Cowley.
Daniel Budd shared his excitement, saying, "We're all huge speedway fans, and we're fortunate to be in a position where we can support a fantastic club that serves a great purpose to local people and the community. I have fond memories watching speedway as a child during the 1980s and 1990s, and now, we're partnering up to back the future of not just Oxford Speedway but the sport in the UK too."
Known for our expertise in Mini restoration, repair, service, and sales, we’re extending our commitment to speedway, creating a full-circle moment as Daniel's father, Ralph, was a former sponsor of Spencer Timmo, now a key partner of Oxford Speedway, back in the 1980s.
Spencer Timmo, founder of SD Timmo Car Sales, expressed his delight at extending their sponsorship, saying, "Daniel and his family are huge supporters of speedway, and to partner up and support the club together is very special – especially given how helpful they were to me during my riding days!"
Oxford Speedway promoter Jamie Courtney conveyed his gratitude for the support from The Real Mini Company and SD Timmo Car Sales, emphasizing their passion for the sport. "We're so grateful for the support The Real Mini Company and SD Timmo Car Sales are providing to Oxford Speedway next year. It's great to learn Daniel's family are so passionate about the sport, and we look forward to welcoming them trackside in the new year with Spencer and his team, who have been great supporters of the club."
As the Oxford Chargers gear up for an exciting 2024 season, the support from The Real Mini Company and SD Timmo Car Sales promises to add an extra layer of excitement to the speedway community, celebrating the heritage of Oxford as the birthplace of the Mini.
