VALETPRO Introducing the trackside range

Car care experts Valetpro will launch two new kits designed for use in motorsport applications next month.

The East Sussex-based company, which is the title sponsor of the Lotus Europe Cup, will release a Pre-race Day Preparation kit and Paddock kit for on-site maintenance with limited water supply. Both kits will be sold with an accompanying user guide.

“One of the things that came out of our conversations with the Lotus Europe Cup was doing a kit that has all the basic products that you need at the track,” said Valetpro director Greg Spink.

“It’s a very different cleaning environment than we are used to – you can’t go nuts with pressure-washers – and it’s mostly about convenience and getting the job done.”

Valetpro tested both kits with BRSCC Mazda MX-5 Championship regular John Langridge at the recent Cadwell Park round. Langridge (above) was delighted with the effects and marked the weekend by taking his first category victory in race three.

“The Pre-race kit instantly transformed the look of the car, making it shine fantastically and really helping the sponsor logos stand out,” he said.

“This in turn not only made it look great on track, but the car was also easier and quicker to clean with the Paddock kit after each session.

“Although I’m not sure the kits helped with performance on circuit, I was certainly happy that the car was in top condition with everyone watching the front of the race so closely.”

The kits will be available from Raceparts, at £56.00 for the Paddock Kit and £91.00 for both.
