Caterham 310R Racing Championship – Introducing the driver: Taylor O’Flanagan

Hello, I’m Taylor! Thank you for taking the time to read my sponsorship opportunities for 2024. So, a little bit about me… well, I love to drive, but you have probably guessed that much already! I grew up in Stevenage, Hertfordshire (the same town as Lewis Hamilton, just saying) and I am incredibly passionate about all forms of extreme sports, but especially motorsport. By day, I run a creative advertising agency, so we know a thing or two about brand coverage! I didn’t have a typical motorsport upbringing, instead of go-karting from a young age, my development of car control came from drifting. I was a drifting instructor for 2 years and built a few competition cars. I was always keen to compete in circuit racing, so when the opportunity arose to race in the renowned Caterham Academy in 2020, I knew it was the chance I needed to get behind the wheel of a racecar! We have now completed four full seasons of racing, and with the support of my amazing friends, family and sponsors, we have won 3 championships and picked up many podiums, pole positions and lap records along the way. I hope you can join us on the journey in 2024 as we battle for the prestigious 310R Championship win.

Introducing the racing: Caterham Cars UK Championship

The Caterham name has always been synonymous with motorsport and today the Seven remains one of the most successful and popular race cars around the world. It isn’t really surprising, as when the Seven was conceived it was always first and foremost a race car. After dominating races across the World, by the 1960s the car was declared “too fast to race” and was subsequently banned from competing in many established race championships. This ban effectively led to the birth of what Caterham racing is now most famous for – incredibly competitive and closely fought one make racing. The championships are known for the non-stop side by side action and dead heat race finishes. Due to how amazingly unaerodynamic the cars are, they produce a huge slipstream effect that is the catalyst for 5 car wide challenges into corners and 10-15 car battles for the lead. Crazy really, but it’s definitely a better watch than Formula 1! On top of this, the Caterham paddock has a great atmosphere, fit for families, friends and colleagues to enjoy motorsport at some of the best tracks around the UK and abroad with the international round each year.

The 2024 Championship:

For the 2024 season, we are once again driving Caterham’s ultimate specification for the 1.6 Sigma engine – the 310R. We are headed to a new series of circuits around the UK including some crowd favourites, and we hope you can join us for the ride.

Why Become a Sponsor?

When many people think of sponsorship in motorsport, their first thought is usually "will there be a good return on investment?" and depending on your industry and company size, the answer to that question varies. You will have the full support of Taylor and the Karbon Creative team to generate a good return on investment if that is part of your motives, and generally it’s 100% tax deductable as advertising expenses.

However, the incredibly unique perks of motorsport sponsorship is usually the reason companies take part, and become hooked. Watching your racecar battle for the win is an unforgettable experience for your company’s partners, employees, clients, and friends and family. It builds relationships and offers a platform for rewards and great partnerships. You will not only be visiting the most iconic racetracks around the UK, but you will have VIP access to enter the pitlane and meet the drivers and crew. On our private track days you can bring clients or staff to experience the thrill of being driven around the circuit at full racing speed! At the end of the season, you will have an abundance of memories, memorabilia and with a bit of luck, a championship winning car!
