Tom Cockerill joins Speed Passion

Speed Passion have announced that front running British off road racer Tom Cockerill has completed a deal that sees him run Speed Passion’s full line of products next season. Tom, who only recently moved to British buggy maker Schumacher had the following to say about the deal:

After testing Speed Passion equipment I knew it was what I wanted to use for the forthcoming season. It is ultra smooth and runs very efficiently, leaving it cooler after a run than anything else I’ve used before. The Speedo’s are very easy to set-up and have enough parameter’s for any driver.
