HANNAH CHAPMAN FUELS COMEBACK DREAM WITH NEW BRAND ROLE

Hannah Chapman has been given a boost in her bid to return to the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE grid in 2025 with an exciting new role as a Brand Ambassador for Millers Oils.

The new partnership brings together a high-profile driver who is well-regarded in the motorsport community, with a brand renowned for its innovation and commitment to excellence across the industry.

Experienced racer Chapman had been working her way up the motorsport ladder when she was sidelined from her full-time drive after a dramatic incident at Knockhill in 2022 whilst preparing for her home round of the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE season.

After a season working in an off-track capacity in 2023 as she evaluated her career options, Chapman made her long awaited return to the track earlier this year at Donington Park during the opening meeting of the new Vertu MINI CHALLENGE campaign.

Driving a car pioneering sustainable fuel in the new JCW Sport class, she demonstrated her resilience and skill with a series of impressive performances in challenging on-track conditions that ultimately saw one of her three planned races cancelled – only fuelling her determination to gain additional time on track.

That resulted in a second outing of the season at her home round, Knockhill, where Chapman truly shone with three strong performances on track.

Cheered on by strong support from a large local crowd, the standout performance for Chapman was in the final race of the weekend as she battled her way to the front ahead of the JCW Sport regulars.

Although her invitational status meant she wasn’t eligible for official points or podiums, her performance was a fitting introduction to her new role with Millers Oils with the logo prominent on the front of her race suit for the first time.

This collaboration with Millers Oils goes beyond a typical brand partnership; it represents a shared vision.

With Millers Oils deeply embedded in the Vertu MINI CHALLENGE as the official lubricants partner, the alliance with Chapman offers the opportunity to showcase both the brand and the high-quality, race-tested products that are available to the general public for use in their own MINI road cars.

Chapman is poised to help elevate the brand’s presence both on and off the circuit, with Knockhill marking the beginning of a partnership that aims to drive her racing ambitions forward.

“Over the past few years, I’ve developed a fantastic relationship with the team at Millers Oils, so stepping into this official role feels like the perfect next chapter,” she said. “I’m thrilled to be part of a brand that shares my passion for innovation and excellence, and I’m eager to help push Millers Oils to a wider audience.

“Winning at my home circuit with Millers Oils on board was just the beginning – I’m ready to take this partnership to the next level and make them proud as we drive towards new successes together.”

Marcus Randall, Head of Marketing at Millers Oils, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership.

“We are delighted to welcome Hannah Chapman as our Brand Ambassador,” he said. “Her skill on the track, combined with her popularity in the paddock and strong connection with fans, makes her an excellent representative for Millers Oils.

“Together, we’re not just expanding our brand visibility – we’re driving the future of motorsport, and we’re excited to see where this journey takes us.”
