Feb. 29, 2012 - PRLog -- The teams experienced rally driver Mark Butcher is very pleased to have Britz campervan hire Australia on board as the new major sponsor of his entry into selected events for the 2012 season.

“Spike”, the famous Britz lizard and the Britz logo were featured on the Black Subaru WRX driven by Butcher in the 2011 Bosch Australian Rally Championship. In 2012 Spike returns bigger and better and will no doubt be attracting a big following at this seasons motorsport events.

First stop is the 2012 Cradle Coast Rally which takes place on February 25-26 near Burnie in Tasmania. The team is looking forward to something different in this tarmac rally that attracts a variety of cars including high profile drivers.

The following weekend will be possibly the biggest event the in Australian Rally Championship history – with the 2012 ECB Rally Calder March 1-4. This event is being held just on the outskirts of Melbourne and will form part of Melbourne’s Festival of Speed.

“The event is the perfect opportunity for our team to really showcase both what we can do and the great campervans our sponsors will be bringing along” says Butcher. “We look forward to meeting lots of the general public and having them jump into the Rally Teams event headquarters – our very own Britz Campervan”.

“We were really pleased to have Britz involved with us last year and are now excited to have further support in 2012. At this stage we will be doing only selected events but we are keen to perform well with the plan to return to the full series in 2013” said driver Butcher.
