Leading dealership Western Toyota is motoring ahead after being confirmed as Musselburgh Racecourse’s official vehicle supplier.

The East Lothian five-star VisitScotland attraction has agreed a sponsorship deal which will raise the profile of the car dealership across the track’s Flat and jumps seasons.

As part of the agreement, the three top placed racegoers in the Queen of Style event at Stobo Castle Ladies Day on 2 June will be provided with a Toyota GT86 coupe sport car to drive for one week, while two Toyota vehicles will be made available to the general manager and head groundsman groundsman and used on racedays for doctors and vets.
