Accountant Kevin Avery of RaceTech has been named the winner of the speedway time challenge and has scooped a pair of hospitality tickets to an elite speedway event of his choice at a variety of locations in the UK. 

In the speedway ‘time challenge’ visitors pitted their starting reactions on a real speedway bike linked to a simulator, against those of a professional speedway rider from the Revolution Speedway team.

The time challenge was carried out on a 2015 speedway bike in full race specification, powered by a 500cc single cylinder engine that runs on methanol and with an acceleration to match that of a Formula One racing car.

In a separate prize draw for a new Apple iPad also held on the Prestige stand at the Silverstone Fleet Show on 12 May, the winner was fleet manager Eric Bristow of Peterborough-based Hobart UK.

Joe Bhamra, commercial director at Prestige Fleet Servicing, said: “Congratulations to Kevin Avery of RaceTech for winning our speedway time challenge at the Fleet Show, and to Eric Bristow from Hobart UK for winning our prize draw for a new Apple iPad.

“This was our first time at Silverstone, and the event provided us with a great opportunity to display and discuss our products and services to key fleet decision-makers. Well done to the organisers, everything was very professionally organised, and we will definitely be looking at attending again next year.”
