Racing safety is a winning formula

Mat Jackson, Motorbase BTCC driver and AeroCatch ambassador, has been spearheading a safety campaign.

Not only is he a powerful advocate for safety, but he also finished his 2016 BTCC campaign in style by claiming a seventh win of the season. His success for the Motorbase team at the Brands Hatch finale helped to seal the Independents Title win for the team, with Motorbase finishing an impressive third overall in the team standings.

Jackson was drafted in to head the AeroCatch campaign and to create greater awareness to the issue of dangerous counterfeit AeroCatch bonnet fastener kits coming onto the market.

"We'd like to congratulate Mat and the Motorbase team on their success," commented Clarendon Specialty Fasteners (previously Specialty Fasteners), the manufacturer of AeroCatch.

"Being part of a world-class team has really helped draw attention to the safety issue, and both Mat and Motorbase have been really supportive, as they appreciate how critical safety is when you go racing."

Specialty Fasteners also provided the team with AeroLoc quarter turn Dzus-style fasteners, Hydraflow 14J21 low pressure connectors and AeroFlo quick-release flexible hose assemblies.
