Rooster Crows after Belting Start to Truck Racing Championship

The Gates-sponsored Rooster Truck Racing Team recorded an impressive podium finish in the opening race of the British Truck Racing Championship 2017, at Brands Hatch.

It was an exciting start for Gates, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of belts and tensioner, involved in truck racing for the first time as a partner of a new G-Truck and UAN sponsorship package.

After qualifying second on the grid, driver Luke Taylor brought the Rooster truck home in third place. It was a terrific result in a brand-new vehicle in its first competitive race.

Although results on day two were mixed, recording the second fastest lap of the meeting in the final race meant that Rooster Truck Racing has already established a place among the serious contenders for the bigger prizes, this season.
