FM Mattsson Sponsor Team West-Tec ASCAR Racing Team

We are pleased to announce that FM Mattsson are sponsors of Team West-Tec. ASCAR is the European equivalent of the United States NASCAR racing championship.  Races are held on oval tack racing circuits across Europe with cars reaching speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour.

FM Mattssons first outing was to the UKs first and only purpose built oval track at Rockingham outside Corby.  Clients were treated to a day of exciting bumper to bumper racing, a tour of the pits to meet the drivers  and lunch with the West-Tec Team.

Unfortunately the racing was a little too competitive and after successfully avoiding a total of 6 spectacular crashes during the day Niklas Loven West-Tec drivers luck ran out in the final race as an altercation with another car and the concrete barrier at over 170 miles per hour ended in a jaw dropping crash. Luckily Niklas exited without a scratch unfortunately the car was not as fortunate and returned to the pits on several different recovery vehicles.

Despite the crumpled end the day was a roaring success which we look forward to repeating next season.
