"I have worked with CMSও before; I know we can achieve some great results. The team is highly motivated and this is reflected in its commitment to perfection. CMS have pulled together key personnel from within the Motorsport industry to form the foundation of the te🌠am. I am really looking forward to the 2003 season."

Ian Catley, spokesperson for Macmillan Cancer Relief, added: "The 'go racing with Macmillan' concept is fun, fast and furious - just like fundraising everywhere for Macmillan! The charity will enjoy working with the team to seek success in💧 the British Touring Car Championship and people with cancer who will be helped by Macmillan will be the real winners."

Malcolm Cleland, CMS Team principal, concluded: "We have worked hard to get here and felt that it would be a great opportunity to share our experience with such an excell𓃲ent charity. Our goal is to raise a substantial amount of money for Macmillan in various ways, and raising awareness of exactly what Macmillan Cancer Relief is about.
