About Egg: Launched in October 1998, Egg has established itself as the UK's leading e-commerce financial services company, providing banking, insurance, investments, mortagages and a shopping portal through its internet site and other distribution channels.

Egg's deal to sponsor the Astras in the BTCC this year is the company's first major UK sponsorship. The deal will be charity linked, and will also see Egg give coverage to the BTCC on its website. The company believes that the BTCC will capture the imagination of its customers, and that they will be able to "take the BTCC to new audiences and new heights". Egg's website can be found at www.egg.com, and a BTCC specific one at sport.egg.com.
