Liberty Mutual Insurance (LMI) is sponsoring two young motorsport drivers, Alex Brundle and Sam Brabham, for the current racing season.
Sam Brabham is contesting the fiercely competitive Junior Max class (for 13-17 year olds) in Formula Kart Stars with the Project One racing team, while Alex Brundle is racing in Formula 2 and has already achieved two podium results this season.
Both drivers’ families have a long connection with motorsport with Alex Brundle’s father, Martin Brundle, a former driver and current commentator on F1. Sam Brabham’s father, David Brabham, was a Le Mans winner and double American Le Mans Series Champion. His grandfather, Jack Brabham, was a triple F1 World Champion.
The sponsorship deal helps both young drivers fund the cost of their participation in this year’s season while providing LMI with a host of client entertainment and branding opportunities – both Alex and Martin Brundle recently attended a broker Q&A session at LMI’s Minster Court office in London. Sam and David Brabham drove in the LMI Casualty Karting Day.
Liberty Mutual Insurance Europe Limited Chief Executive Sean Rocks commented: “The sponsorships are a natural fit with our long involvement in providing liability insurance for both motor sport teams as well as tracks. Our brand can only benefit from the marketing opportunities that these two, high profile motorsports offer.”
Lewis Goodearl, LMI’s Vice President for Casualty, added: “Both drivers have a great racing pedigree with names synonymous with motorsport. The F2 and Formula Kart Stars seasons are well under way and we look forward to following Alex’s and Sam’s progress.”
