Platinum invests in motorsport

Platinum Asset Management is the backers of Bernard Tilanus’ bid to take the VSP Sports Car championship this year.

Tilanus won the national Formula Ford series in 1974 before taking the SA Drivers title in 1981. He retired from the sport after brief stint in Group N, but was lured back to competition with the advent of the VSP series where he has been a consistent front-runner.

Apart from sponsoring Tilanus, Platinum Asset Management is co-sponsoring the Porsche Challenge series and the neatly turned out Porsche 964 driven by Ken Rolfe (pictured) in the championship.
