Hawarden teenager targets quadcross world championship after sponsorship from Deeside homebuilder
A 17-year-old quadcross rider from Hawarden is preparing to compete in the FIM Quad Cross World Championship after receiving sponsorship from Ewloe-based Anwyl Homes.
Louie Holt, who was crowned British Under-21 Champion in 2025, will use the £500 contribution to fund travel, entry fees and equipment for races across Europe, including events in Germany and Poland.
Louie said: “This money will help me significantly by funding boat crossings, entry fees, fuel and racing equipment, such as gloves and goggles, which all adds up very quickly when racing abroad.”
Among the circuits he is most looking forward to are Kleinhau in Germany and Gdansk in Poland.
He said: “What excites me most is getting to visit new amazing places and race with people I’ve looked up to for years, as well as the experiences that come with it, which will hopefully help me progress a lot as a rider.
“I train as much as I can during the week so I can be prepared for what’s coming.
“We usually have to be at events from Friday morning, so for most races we leave on Wednesday night or Thursday morning.”
Louie also paid tribute to those around him.
He said: “My family have all helped me massively, and my sponsors too.
“I wouldn’t be where I am without them and I’m forever thankful.”
Phoebe Davies, head of regional marketing for Anwyl Homes, said: “Louie’s achievements are remarkable, and we’re proud to support him as he takes on the challenge of competing at world championship level.
“Motorsport is an expensive sport, particularly for young riders, and we hope this contribution helps Louie focus on doing what he does best while representing Flintshire on the international stage.”
