Hubbard Products is supporting the Southwest’s fastest refrigeration engineer, who is aiming to capture 2016’s TimeAttack highest level.

Kevin Jones of KJ Refrigeration in Barnstaple will be driving the coolest and the hottest car in this year’s Timeattack championship sponsored by Hubbard Products. Best known for its transport refrigeration used by UK home delivery retailers, the innovative use of the Dearman liquid air engine and its ranges of static commercial refrigeration, Hubbard sees the racetrack as a good reflection of its own approach to design and innovation.

Kevin will be racing his Noble M12 RSR in the six-round series which started at Cadwell Park, Lincolnshire on 24 April and concludes on 25 September at Snetterton Circuit in Norfolk, just 40 miles away from Hubbard’s new European headquarters in Ipswich.

He said: “Originating in Japan; Timeattack is the purest form of motorsport. It pushes driver and machine to absolute perfection on track. Timing drivers individually on the same race track leads to faster laps and more accurate driving, in contrast to traditional racing where drivers’ reactions can impact on others’ performance. Timeattack is the purest combination of speed, engineering skill and driver ability.

In 2014 Kevin dominated the Timeattack rear-wheel drive category, setting new lap records for the RWD Club Challenge. In 2015, he progressed to Pro RWD, winning his class and this year he will be challenging the very top drivers in the Pro-Extreme RWD category.

The Hubbard sponsored vehicle can be seen at: Pembrey Circuit, Lanelli on Sunday 22 May; Brands Hatch, Kent on Sunday 19 June; Oulton Park Circuit, Cheshire on Saturday 9 July; Croft Circuit, Darlington on Sunday 21 August and Snetterton Circuit, Norfolk on Sunday 25 September.

Timeattack is family friendly and the events often offer the general public the opportunity to take their own vehicles on to the same track as the racers in between events. Also at the events a selection of other vehicles will be on show, including demonstration laps from historic Formula One cars among others.

For those who can’t attend in person, the ‘flying freezer’ can be tracked through live streaming on the Timeattack website and Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/UKTimeAttack/
