Rallying into the Future with the TradOak Team and Sustain Fuels

Trad Oak first sponsored Tony Jardine, the well-known English motorsport pundit, former driver and former Formula One assistant team manager, and his sustainably fuelled classic Chrysler Avenger, last year, 2023, in the gruelling 5-day, 360-mile, Roger Albert Clark Rally. Trad Oak has one of the largest stocks of reclaimed, and therefore sustainable, oak in the UK, and it was this link in sustainability that helped to forge this connection with Tony. The Roger Albert Clark Rally is the ‘must do’ event which takes place in the UK, with around 170 competitors. Tony finished second in class, saving over 1640 KG in CO2 emissions through use of bio-gasoline, made from agricultural waste supplied by Coryton Fuels.

Trad Oak has decided to continue sponsorship of Tony for the foreseeable future, along with Coryton Fuels. More recently, Tony took part in the Rally North Wales 2024, in March of this year, achieving a podium finish. His next adventure will be in July. Read the full article at Sustain Fuels.

Every tread carries the marks of the timber’s former life, its grain marked by decades of weathering, use, and character. Our clients […]
