Cobra, a leader in the provision of security, safety and telematics solutions for the automotive and insurance industries, has two teams currently taking part in this year's Banger Run to raise funds for Help For Heroes, the charity helping injured Armed Forces personnel. Funds raised, to date, stand at £7,736, already 77% of the company's target of £10,000!
The two Cobra teams; The Tigers and The Spanners and their bangers, which cost less than £250 each, departed from Silverstone on Saturday 3rd September and are today headed for Monza in Italy, and Monte Carlo in Monaco. They will continue to travel through Europe, stopping off at a total of seven Formula 1 circuits along the route, before arriving at the Catalunya Circuit in Barcelona tomorrow; Tuesday 6th September.
The Cobra Spanners team is made up of Miles Garner, Nigel Grove and Jason Parsons. The team's banger is an S-registration Mitsubishi Carisma, with over 109,000 miles on the clock. The Cobra Tigers are Ian Ross, Sue Bown and Anthony Chorlton and their banger is a 117,000 mile,16 year-old Audi Coupé. Both vehicles underwent essential maintenance prior to the challenge and have been wrapped with key sponsors logos. The vehicles will be auctioned off after the event to further boost funds for Help For Heroes.
Andrew Smith, Managing Director at Cobra UK commented, "Both teams have their bangers kitted out with one of our vehicle tracking products; CobraTrak Plus with web monitoring. This is allowing us to to track the teams' progress and location using the latest GPS/GSM technology and the Vehicle Location on Demand facility. Both teams are doing fantastically well, despite the relentless rain and they are on course to complete the challenge in the allotted four days!"
"Both cars with our new Global Live technology, a live CCTV monitoring system, designed to protect commercial vehicles and their loads, with on board cameras allowing our Secure Operating Centre personnel to monitor vehicles audibly and visually, 24/7. The bangers are fitted with forward facing CCTV cameras and we will be sharing footage of the teams covering the seven Formula 1 circuits, via our online platforms, once the challenge is complete!"
"I would like to thank all our generous sponsors including Mitsubishi Motors, Integrated Visual Protection, Joe Macari Service, Global Vehicle Systems, Prestige Auto Repairs and Digital Revolution for vehicle graphics. We have been overwhelmed by their generosity and support and I'm confident we will reach our £10,000 target before the challenge is completed tomorrow."
