Speedgroup Club Europe

Speedgroup co-ordinator Åsa Kinnemar tells about the Speedgroup and 3M Peltor co-operation that have been developed since 2010.

- One unique feature we co-operate around is the guided pit tour concept, where the Peltor Light Com equipment makes it possible to communicate and perform tours also under noisy circumstances. The concept has been worked and tested out for one season 2011 at selected events to be evaluated before we develop it further. We have so far only recieved positive feedback to this unique idea, which have proven to add a lot of information and event experience value to the participants of our guided tours. At the moment we are searching for suitable guides that can assist us in guiding tours in Finland and Germany in the local language, says Åsa. We have good faith that we through our network will be able to find a few persons with the skills we need.
