Winners in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB will be celebrated in style over the balance of the 2009 season following the announcement of a partnership between the championship and Piper-Heidsieck Champagne.

The Carrera Cup GB, which is the fastest one-make race category in Britain and a key support event to the British Touring Car Championship, is enjoying a superb season in 2009, with big grids, great racing and fierce competition across three categories. Now, the successful drivers will be presented with Piper-Heidsieck Champagne during the traditional end of race podium celebrations.

Established in 1785, Piper-Heidsieck is one of the world's finest brands and is based in the Champagne region of France. Since 2009 Champagne Piper-Heidsieck is distributed by First Drinks Brands - the UK number one premium spirit company.

To mark the new partnership between two globally recognised brands, the end of season champion in the Carrera Cup GB will be presented with a jereboam of Champagne, which is equivalent to four standard bottles of Champagne.
