The new partnership will see Bradshaw represent the centres while competing for Toro Verde GT in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Great Britain.
Bradshaw will campaign the GT4RS Clubsport throughout the 2025 season, building on a strong 2024 performance that included two lights-to-flag wins at Oulton Park. He began his career in 2006 when he won the Formula Ford North West Championship. He went on to become the most successful driver in Formula Palmer Audi history. He was also the inaugural Porsche GB Junior Driver in 2009.
Tom Fox, Managing Director for Porsche Centres Bolton and Preston, said: “We’re backing Tom because we think his journey is something people really connect with. He’s local, he’s quick, and he’s got real pedigree in Porsche racing. It’s a great fit for our Centres and our customers.”
Steve Webb, Head of Business at Porsche Centre Bolton, said: “This is the first time Preston and Bolton have teamed up to sponsor a driver, and it feels like a real milestone since joining the Bowker Motor Group family. Backing Tom together is a great way to show how the two centres can work side by side – not just in business, but out on the track too.”
Bradshaw has raced across a variety of disciplines, including endurance events like the 24h TCC Endurance Series and the V de V Challenge Endurance Proto. He also remains active in the family-run Road and Race Restorations Ltd, where he works on the restoration and preparation of race vehicles alongside his racing career. Road and Race Restorations Ltd are also Porsche Centre Bolton and Porsche Centre Preston’s Porsche recommended body repairer.
The sponsorship is part of a broader strategy by Porsche Centre Bolton and Porsche Centre Preston to deepen customer engagement through motorsport. The centres will host a series of events to offer customers direct access to race-day experiences and behind-the-scenes insights.
Tom Bradshaw said: “This support from Porsche Centres Bolton and Preston means a lot. Coming from Bolton, it’s great to have a local sponsor who really gets what racing’s about. I’m proud to carry their names on the car and hope to give them plenty to cheer about this year.”
The Porsche Sprint Challenge GB continues to grow in popularity, offering a platform for competitive racing with the Porsche GT4RS Clubsport at circuits including Silverstone, Brands Hatch and Donington Park.
