ARB UK, in association with Truckman, has reaffirmed its commitment to sponsoring the extreme off-road racers Gigglepin Racing as the team’s Jim Marsden prepares to unveil his new car, the Mistress.

Jim is aiming to continue the team’s winning run following Gigglepin Racing’s recent triumph at the Tactical Off-Road Racing (TORR) 2022 event in Wales whilst driving the 6.2 litre V8 ‘Bad Penny’. Marsden has become Europe’s most successful extreme off-road racer with more than 80 titles and 100 podium finishes, including scooping the Ultra4 European Championship in 2019.

The UK arm of Australian 4x4 and off-road accessory manufacturer has confirmed its continuing support for the team ahead of Gigglepin Racing’s entry in the Ultra4 King of Poland, which takes place between 9 and 11 September. Part of the Ultra4 Europe series, the King of Poland takes place in the tough terrains of the South West of the country at the Olszyna Motopark.

ARB UK has been supporting the team since 2013, providing products from its range including Air Lockers, Compressor Kits and a range of ancillary equipment, which will also feature on Mistress for its debut race in Poland.

Adam Betteridge, Business Manager for ARB Products, said: “Jim and the Gigglepin Racing team are flying high after their exploits at the TORR in Wales and we’re proud to continue our support of the team as Jim prepares to unveil Mistress for the King of Poland. The UK has a huge motorsport legacy and 4x4 off road racing is a significant part of the sport. We’re keen to get behind Gigglepin Racing as they continue to use our robust product range and fly the flag for Britain in events at home and abroad.”

Jim Marsden said: "We first started working with ARB in 2013 and it’s a relationship we have seen flourish. We now have ARB parts fitted to our race cars, support vehicles and our everyday run arounds and we are proud to have been a part of product development and testing of new and old product ranges. We are excited that ARB have expanded their commitment to the UK market. We cannot wait to see what the next 10 years brings."
