INEOS Automotive Support Cornwall Point to Point Racing

Dear , 
 

Further to our Press Release last week, we’d like to recap that INEOS Automotive will be attending The East Cornwall Point to Point Meeting at Great Trethew on Sunday 27th February as part of a national series. 

The event will give visitors a chance to see a couple of the new INEOS Grenadier 4x4s and promises to be a fabulous day out for all the family, with the first of the two area Pony Races heading up the action at 11am. The Feature race of the day being the INEOS GRENADIER Mixed Open, which is a qualifier for the Cheltenham Mixed Open Hunter Chase final to be held in April. This could be a great area battle between highest rated River Myth, for trainer Stuart Sampson, taking on Sykes for the Nicola Martin team, Field Exhibition for the in- form Ed Walker yard, and the two Dean Summersby entries Port O’clock and Cloudy Music.

This is a must event for anyone wanting a fun action packed day out at this popular track. On course facilities are hot and cold food, bar, bookies, and trade stands. The course is located at Menheniot off A38 between Menheniot and Liskeard, Postcode PL14 3PZ.

We would also like to offer this exceptional opportunity for journalists and media to come and see the INEOS Grenadier vehicles first-hand and learn more about their design and purpose.  If you would like to take advantage of this opportunity, please let us know. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Press release for immediate publication - 14 February 2022

INEOS Automotive Support Local Point to Point Racing

 

INEOS Automotive are to sponsor the INEOS Grenadier Mixed Open, the feature race at The East Cornwall Foxhounds' Point to Point to be held at Great Trethew, Menheniot, Liskeard on Sunday 27thFebruary. The £1,000 race is part of a national series and will be hotly contended by some of the top horses in the area to earn a place at the prestigious national Hunter Chase final at Cheltenham. The event will also give visitors a chance to see the new INEOS Grenadier 4X4, which is set to launch in 2022.

 

The three-year national partnership coincides with the launch of the widely anticipated INEOS Grenadier 4X4. The British-designed, rugged and uncompromising off-roader is being built to meet extreme demands. Easily towing a horsebox or tackling challenging terrain, the highly capable vehicle is an ideal fit for a countryside-based sport with strong ties to Britain's farming and rural communities.

 

Built from the ground up on an all-new platform, the INEOS Grenadier is inspired by legendary working off-roaders. The Grenadier is built to last: a stripped back, utilitarian, hard-working 4X4 engineered for modern day compliance and reliability. It is powered by a choice of six-cylinder petrol or diesel BMW engines with the power and torque to easily tow up to 3.5 tonnes. Featuring a durable hose-out interior, the vehicle will also come with an extensive range of accessories for all off-road and adventure activities.

 

Gary Pearson, Head of UK and MENA at INEOS Automotive, said: "The desire to build a vehicle with the versatility to meet the needs of those who live, work and play in the countryside has been at the forefront of our ambitions since the early development stages of the Grenadier.Engineered to be a capable and reliable workhorse, it's fitting that the Grenadier will be forming such strong ties with the Point-to-Point Authority, not only to provide support for the sport, but to also build stronger relationships with a community this vehicle has been designed for.

 

INEOS is a global company comprising of businesses, consumer brands and sports interests in 29 countries.  INEOS Sport brings together some of the best talents including Formula One, cycling, sailing, football, and running, and the rural community have welcomed this new venture into equestrian sport.

 

Peter Wright, Chief Executive of the Point-to-Point Authority, added: "This is a very welcome new national partnership, focusing on a series of mixed open races leading to a valuable final and involving some of our leading horses. The Grenadier 4X4 is a perfect fit for point-to-pointing and the wider countryside community."
 

INEOS Automotive are sponsoring 16 mixed open Point to Point races at venues from Scotland to Cornwall, and West Wales to East Anglia, with each race worth £1,000 in prize money. The first four horses from each INEOS Grenadier Mixed Open race, plus the first two from any other mixed open contest, will qualify for the £10,000 INEOS Grenadier Mixed Open Hunters' Chase final, to be run at Cheltenham on Friday, 6thMay.

 

Somerset based Will Biddick, who trains Britain's top-rated hunter chaser Porlock Bay, said: "Our first aim is to get Porlock to the Cheltenham Festival, but he had a light campaign last season, and a race like the INEOS Grenadier Mixed Open Hunters' Chase in May could well become the next target.  It's good to have a decent pot to aim at, and it's marvellous that such a big company is supporting the grass roots of horse racing."

 

Shropshire Trainer Philip Rowley, who has won Cheltenham's Mixed Open Hunters' Chase three times, said: "Most sports need a bit of a lift after disruptions caused by Covid, and for a company like INEOS to come in is great news.  I'm hoping we have a horse good enough to run in the final and Salvatore might be the one.  His owners are Point to Point people through and through, and he's a horse who wants a bit of decent ground, which we should get at Cheltenham in May."

 

Reservations are open and prospective customers can start to see what their Grenadier will look like by configuring features, options accessories and colours.
