Orange Amplification and Orange Essentials anoounce to sponsor up-and-coming British rally driver James Williams in the 2024 Probite British Rally Championship — the second year running the Welshman races under Orange decals.
Following meteoric progress over the past two seasons, culminating in a breakthrough championship win at Rali Ceredigion in Wales September 2023, 26-year-old Williams races in the UK’s premier rallying series this season. Forthcoming races will find Williams behind the wheel of a new four-wheel-drive turbo-charged Hyundai i20 Rally 2, sporting the orange and black livery of Orange Amplification and Orange Essentials. The bright colour and his skillful driving are making his car stand out in both forest and the road sections of each course.
“I couldn’t be happier to once again have the backing of such a cool, impactful brand as Orange Amps and Orange Essentials,” said Williams. “Like Orange Amps and Orange Essentials, I have high standards and will be taking the fight to the bigger names and teams this year.”
Cliff Cooper, CEO and founder of Orange Amplification and Orange Essentials, said: “It is great to be involved with James and the British Rally Championship once again. We wish him all the luck for the new season.”
