BEAR Competitions CEO, Owen Mallon:
“I’m absolutely delighted to be continuing as headline sponsor of the Cookstown 100 again this year. This race means a lot to me personally — it’s a local event, it’s part of our motorsport culture, and the atmosphere around Cookstown on race weekend is second to none.
Last year was incredible, and the support from fans, competitors, and organisers was unreal, so this year we’re going even bigger.
We’ve got major plans for more giveaways, more on-site fun, and special offers for racegoers, so people can really experience something extra over the weekend.
At Bear Competitions, we’re all about giving something back — to competitors, to fans, and to the local community — and the Cookstown 100 is the perfect place to do that. I can’t wait to see everyone trackside in April and make this year one of the best yet.”
