Leamington based Travel Management Group has clinched the contract to organise worldwide travel for one of the newest racing teams on the popular FIA GT circuit.  It will handle the travel arrangements for Team Maranello Concessionaires [TMC], which was created late last year and is entering two Ferrari 360GTs in the 2003 ten-race championships.  

The agreement follows the news in November that TMG had won the business travel account for Motor Sport Developments Ltd, which runs the Hyundai World Rally Team.  William Davies, TMG's sales manager, said: "The Team Maranello account is important to us.  They have a very good chance of winning the championship at their first attempt, and from our point of view getting there to the starting grid on time is a big responsibility".

TMG will organise worldwide travel for the race team's four drivers, 25 mechanics, technicians and other officials.  With other centres in Edinburgh, North West and the Home Counties, Travel Management Group is one of the UK's top 20 business travel companies, meeting the travel needs of more than 500 business clients, from international blue chip companies to local businesses.

The firms also handles travel for Premiership football teams such as Arsenal, Fulham and Newcastle United.
