PARTNERS

Established in 1966, by car loving Motorsport enthusiast Sir Colin Giltrap the Giltrap Group are one of the most trusted retailers and distributors of 18 iconic automotive brands across New Zealand. As passionate supporters of Kiwis reaching great heights, the Giltrap Group have supported many motor racing drivers over the decades, including owning the New Zealand A1GP team.

Proud supporters of Liam since his Formula 4 days in Australia, the Giltrap Group’s support has continued throughout Liam’s European racing campaign . The company logo takes pride of place on the visor of Liam’s racing helmets as it does on many of New Zealand’s top international drivers.

The Giltrap Group continues as a leading personal sponsor.

The Turners Automotive Group became the title sponsor in 2018 for Liam’s entry with Van Amersfoort Racing in ADAC Formula 4. When he returned home at the end of that year, Turners continued their support as a joint title sponsor for Liam’s debut Toyota Racing Series (TRS) season in the FT-50.

Turners support continued in 2019 for Liam’s dual championship campaign in Europe when he raced in both EFO and in the debut of the new FIA F3 car. Again, when Liam returned home for the summer break, Turners supported his TRS entry in 2020 as the defending champion.

In 2021 & 2022 Turners proudly stepped up to support Liam’s Formula 2 campaign and remain as a leading personal sponsor.

The Porter Group provides sales and rentals of world leading brands in heavy construction equipment from 50 owned retail locations in four countries – New Zealand, Australia, Papua New Guinea and Southern California in the United States.

The Porter Group joined a group of sponsors that supported Liam’s entry in Australian F4 and increased their support for his European debut in ADAC F4 in 2018. They were a leading partner in the Euorformula Open Series and took joint title-rights in both of Liam’s Toyota Racing Series campaigns in New Zealand in 2019 and 2020.

The Porter Group continues as a leading personal sponsor.

Specialising in digital communications, Cumulo9 became one of a group of sponsors that supported Liam in the Australian Formula 4 championship in 2017.

When Liam entered the Toyota Racing Series in 2019 Cumulo9 became a leading partner and increased their support for the 2020 season, their logo appearing across the rear wing of the FT-60.

Cumulo9 was a leading supporting sponsor over the Formula 2 campaigns and continues support for the Japanese Super Formula programme.

BG Marketing is a family owned and operated business founded in 1987 that specialises in Alloy and Steel Wheels and recently added a range of high performance radial tyres.

One of Liam’s supporting sponsors since Australian F4 in 2017, BGW Wheels also underwrote the majority of the cost when Liam went to the USA to compete in the ‘Road To Indy Shootout’ in December the same year.

When Liam contested the Toyota Racing Series in both 2019 and 2020, BGW Wheels were a significant sponsor partner, and they have continued to support his racing ever since.

Bell Helmets are Liam’s racing helmets of choice. From the time he started racing in Europe, Bell entered into a partnership to supply his helmets. This successful partnership continues to this day with Bell supplying Liam with their highest standard of helmet which is not only required in F1 but also F3 and F2.

Bell also provide Liam with full servicing of his helmets over race weekends, replacing vents, visors, tear-offs and general maintenance.

Liam’s helmets continue an evolution of his personal design starting back in 2018

Liam became an ambassador for the Tony Quinn Foundation in 2022 and the trustees continue to support Liam with grants towards his living, training and travel costs while he compete and represent New Zealand on the international stage.

Since Liam started his car racing debut in 2015 there are a great number of sponsors and supporters that make his journey possible. From the initial support of Sabre Motorsport providing a season of Formula First racing, Liam first sponsors included NZ Childcare Finance and his uncle’s company, Cyrus International Cargo.

Other sponsor partners like Showerdome, TACCOC, Allied Petroleum and AVID have provided additional support to Liam’s racing programmes over the years.
