Schumacher sign Ellis Stafford

Schumacher Racing have welcomed UK legend, Ellis Stafford to their team. Ellis’ past achievements are second to none including; multiple BRCA national Champion, off-road, on-road and trucks, multiple European Champion and most BRCA top 10 results on record. Ellis’ depth of knowledge will be a great asset for Schumacher as they head into another busy racing season. Ellis has the following to say about the deal:

Joining Schumacher Racing again is a surreal experience with them being my first manufacturer sponsor when I started out at top flight racing back when Cecil Schumacher ran the team. Now a generation on with Robin at the helm I’m back and looking forward to working not only with the factory but also the rest of the team to try and bring some good results for Schumacher and myself.
