INDUSTRY NEWS
According to David Serg, Group General
Manager at Preston Hire, the company’s
focus is to build brand awareness and to
actively support and develop upcoming
young Australian talent.
“With the drive and desire to be more
involved, Preston Hire Racing was born
with our sponsorship in March 2015.
“We are excited to again have Lee
Holdsworth, the reigning 2015 Driver’s
Award winner as the driver for season
2016,” David said.
David said being a sponsor of the V8
Supercars is a great fit for Preston Hire
and for its connections within the
construction industry.
In line with the company’s policy
of helping young people to realise
their ambitions, Preston Hire Racing
has started a program for upcoming
Australian talent, and is also support
sponsor of:
• Luis Leeds, DreamMotorsport,
Formula 4;
• Nicholas Schembri, Nick Starr Racing,
Australian Kart Championship;
• Daniel Needham, Sid Moore Racing,
Sprint Cars;
• Grahame, Corey, Caine Fraser, GCC
Motorsports, Radio Control.
“We have been sponsoring junior driver in
the Formula 4 category, Luis Leeds who is
only 15 years of age.
“At the end of last year Luis won a race in
Mexico and immediately following this he
was invited to be a member in the 2016
Red Bull Junior Team in Europe which is
about as exciting as it gets for a young
guy with a passion to become a Formula
One racer,” David said.
The appointment to Redbull’s Junior
program has come early for the 15 year
old. Luis Leeds captured the attention of
Redbull with his win in the F4 support
race at last year’s Mexico Grand Prix.
Redbull has been running a successful
junior team since 2001 producing
current F1 racers Sebastian Vettel, Daniel
Ricciardo and Daniil Kvyat.
Luis will participate in the British
F4 Series with the prestigious Arden
Motorsport Team based in Banbury,
England. The announcement will see Luis
moving to the UK for the 2016 season.
“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity. It
has all come as a surprise and I’m grateful
for this chance,” Luis said.
“This is only a first step; it’s no guarantee
I will make it to F1. It’s now up to me to
make something of this opportunity. I also
want to say a big thank you to everyone
who has given me support in 2015. To
Preston Hire and Peter O’Shea for their
generous sponsorship and to Dream
Motorsport for all the development this
year.”
David said: “It’s great to see young talent
achieving something significant. We’re
glad to be a part of that.”
