Gloucester – April 12, 2023 –Optimas, the leading global industrial distributor in fastening and supply chain solutions is today delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with multiple British Touring Car Championship race winner Árón Taylor-Smith for the 2023 season.
Motorsport is in the DNA of Optimas, with five locations alone in the UK the company is forging a strong name in British Motorsport and a 2023 British Touring Car Championship program with Taylor-Smith sees the iconic company enter the pinnacle of the sport within the nation. With a new season comes a fresh challenge for Taylor-Smith as one of the pivotal moves of the 2023 off season was the Irishman’s switch to join CarStore Power Maxed Racing, and the 33-year-old has spent recent weeks getting to grips with his new Vauxhall Astra as he prepares for a ninth year in the UK’s premier tin-top series. The fan favourite has accumulated twenty podiums during his successful career in the BTCC and to this day remains the only Irishman to win a race in the championship in over thirty years. The thirty-three-year-old debuted in the series in 2012 and won a race in his first season, immediately marking him as one to watch for the future. Taylor-Smith continued in the BTCC for a subsequent five years before taking a sabbatical to focus on a GT program throughout Europe.
Taylor-Smith commented: “I absolutely love the synergy that exists between Optimas and a motorsport program. The company is built around improving efficiency within an organisation which echoes exactly what we are trying to achieve each race weekend. One of the first points that we discussed in our initial meeting was the mantra of ‘teamwork’ within Optimas and I instantly knew that working together would offer a host of opportunities, not just for Optimas but for my entire partner network.”
