BUSINESSMAN and bike fanatic Paul Windale has delivered a boost to a racing team.
The ex-para is sponsoring the Adrenalin-Moto Buell team in next year's New Era Sound of Thunder racing series.
The 43-year-old, who owns Darlington's Pizza Perfekt firm, is backing the team owned by his sister, Debbie Purdy, and her husband, Matt.
Mr Purdy said: "This will be extremely helpful to us, particularly as he has come forward so early.
"This allows us to plan for tuning work over the winter without having to worry about the costs involved."
The Adrenalin-Moto Buell is the only bike of its kind to be raced in the UK at present, using a Harley Davidson 1200cc V-twin engine.
