Porsche Centres in Bolton and Preston have announced a new sponsorship agreement with Bolton-based racing driver Tom Bradshaw for the 2025 motorsport season. The sponsorship represents the first time the two centres have joined forces to sponsor a racing driver.
The new partnership will see Bradshaw represent the centres while competing for Toro Verde GT in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain.
Bradshaw will campaign the GT4RS Clubsport throughout the 2025 season, building on a strong 2024 performance that included two lights-to-flag wins at Oulton Park. He began his career in 2006 when he won the Formula Ford North West Championship. He went on to become the most successful driver in Formula Palmer Audi history. He was also the inaugural Porsche GB Junior Driver in 2009.
