Hyundai Dealership Sponsors UK Kart Series

A family car dealership with historical ties to karting will sponsor the famous Super Ones series in the UK.

Edgar’s Hyundai will be the headline sponsor and new partner for the 2012 season. This business is a well known and highly respected motor vehicle dealer chain in the Cumbria north-west region of England and the family firm has a long association with kart racing.

Iredale Edgar started racing in 1961 when he purchased a Trokart/Clinton. His son Terry Edgar won the Little Green Man Championship, the precursor to the Super One, in 1977 and his sons Justin and Jason share six Super One titles between them. In 2012 Jason Edgar will compete in Formula KGP and the newest generation in the shape of 8 year old Jonny Edgar (Justin’s son) will be having his first taste of national competition in Comer Cadet.
