Since 2021, Silverlake has helped reshape the C1 Racing paddock by introducing recycled automotive parts into competition, an initiative that has grown steadily as teams balance tight budgets with increasing pressure to reduce environmental impact.

The company’s support extends far beyond branding. Silverlake attends race meetings with parts, equipment and technical backup, ensuring teams can stay competitive throughout demanding endurance events.

A key figure in the paddock is Greg Rose, head of the Silverlake race team, whose 30+ years of motorsport experience have made him a trusted source of advice on car set-up, problem solving and race strategy for teams throughout the field.  Meanwhile, Kevin Hayter and Nacho Gonzalez-Yamada are driving forward C1 parts procurement to ensure a consistent quality service both trackside and via the new Silverlake website www.silverlake.co.uk
