Juststuf Limited, a well respected sponsorship and sports marketing company originally discussed the potential opportunities and benefits of building a motorsport programme, on behalf of many of the supplier companies, as long ago as the Motor Show in Spring 2004.

With trade companies such as Supagard, Ixtar, Ixell, Renault Insurance, Renault Parts, Motrio, RAMB/Vario Press Ltd, Renault Minute and Rapide Bodycare already signed up to the programme and with several more in the final stages of negotiating to join the 'Renault Aftersales Team' competing in the 2006 Renault Clio Cup, the programme has already proved successful by its popularity.

Each 'supplier' benefits from a 20 event Clio Cup 'show car' programme at Renault dealers, creating both brand awareness with dealers and consumers as well as providing them with the opportunity to develop their relationships with the dealers.

Where appropriate the suppliers are also encouraged to show case their products in the racing environment whilst entertaining key guests in the Paddock.

Stephen Colbert, after a promising season in the Holiday Inn SEAT Cupra Championship, has been selected by Mardi Gras Motorsport to represent the Renault Aftersales Team as full time race driver. He will be present at all 'show car' dealer evenings and is one of the pre season favourites for the title.
