The Jockey Club, Aston Martin Extend Partnership

Aston Martin has extended its relationship as the official High-Performance Partner of The Jockey Club, the luxury-car manufacturer announced Tuesday. The British brand, which marked its debut with The Jockey Club as High-Performance partner of The Derby Festival at Epsom Downs in 2023, will extend its presence to include The Cheltenham Festival, the Randox Grand National Festival at Aintree, Newmarket's QIPCO Guineas Festival as well as the Betfred Derby Festival.

Aston Martin will continue to proudly sponsor the Aston Martin Dash at Epsom Downs, with the Heritage H. taking place on Derby Day.

At The Cheltenham Festival in March, Aston Martin will unveil its DBX707 and DB12 models, in addition to displaying other iconic models. Supporting all of The Jockey Club's major events, Aston Martin's DBX707 will transport racegoers, owners and VIP guests from helipad terminals into the racecourses.

“Having become High-Performance Partner of The Derby Festival last summer, we are delighted to now extend our partnership with The Jockey Club,” said Oliver Turner, Regional President of Aston Martin in the UK and South Africa. “We look forward to working with The Jockey Club to tell our story, commencing with the Cheltenham Festival in March, through to the Epsom Derby Festival in June, where we are delighted to return as the title sponsor of the Aston Martin Dash, the world's fastest horse race over five furlongs.”
