Legends Cars Championship partners JLM Liquid Tools and Vital Equipment have increased their support of the all-action category, as well as the high-profile inter-series Legends Cars Elite Cup, for 2026 with each company providing significant prize bundles at every round of the coming season.
Kalimex Ltd, which is owned by long-time Legends Cars competitor Mike Schlup and is the UK importer for JLM Liquid Tools, has confirmed it will support the new ‘Team of the Day’ award at each of the 13 rounds to be contested.
The prize package on offer will include JLM Instant Shine, JLM Microfibre Polishing Cloth, JLM Performance Shampoo and Foam Cleaner, JLM Diesel Performance Fuel System Cleaner, JLM Petrol Performance Fuel System Cleaner – notably, the latter is for road cars, not race engines!
In addition to the above, all Legends Cars competitors, teams and fans can also benefit from an online discount of 10% via the official www.jlmlubricants.co.uk website by using the discount code LEG10 during the check-out process. There will also be further benefits during the season.
Vital Equipment will be sponsoring the ‘Driver of the Day’ award at each round, with the successful competitor on the Saturday of a race meeting receiving 25 litres of ETS Racing Super Plus 99 control fuel – formerly known as Hiperflo Super Plus.
On the Sunday of an event the Driver of the Day award winner will receive a pair of vouchers, each redeemable for four litres of Motul engine oil from the Herefordshire based company, which is one of the country’s leading specialist racing fuel and lubricant suppliers – click HERE for the Vital Equipment website.
Working closely with Haltermann Carless, which creates the ETS race fuel brand, Vital also provides bespoke fuel solutions, on-location refueling services for motorsport and expert technical advice. In addition, the business also offers racewear, helmets and associated competition equipment.
Mike Schlup – JLM Liquid Tools:
“I think the Legends Cars Championship is arguably the most exciting racing in the UK and we are proud to support this amazing series. As a competitor I also see how much work goes on behind the scenes by the teams and mechanics, both at race weekends and between events. Being able to support the Team of the Day award means a lot to me. I’m really excited for the future of Legends racing in the UK and everyone at JLM Liquid Tools wishes Will [Gibson] all the best with his new venture.”
Phil Roberts – Operations Manager, Vital Equipment:
“We are extremely proud of continuing our successful partnership with Legends Racing UK, especially as it enters a new era under the ownership and guidance of Will Gibson. Vital Equipment has enjoyed a long association with Legends Cars racing in the UK, one of the most action-packed circuit racing championships around, and we’re looking forward to another successful year in 2026.”
Will Gibson – Legends Cars Championship Owner:
“One of the things I’ve wanted to do from the outset, since taking over the running of the Legends Cars Championship, is to look at ways of how we can support the competitors and teams as much as possible – and to also provide opportunities for drivers throughout the grid. I’m delighted to be able to announce these prize packages from our excellent partners JLM Liquid Tools and Vital Equipment, and looking forward to working with both companies throughout the coming year.”
Rounds one and two of the new Legends Cars Championship season will take place under two weeks from now, over the weekend 4th/5th April, at Silverstone in Northamptonshire.
