ISUZU GALLOPS INTO SECOND YEAR AS HEADLINE PARTNER OF GB POINTING

• Isuzu UK continues as Headline Partner of GB Pointing for the 2025/26 season, strengthening ties with the grassroots of British jump racing.
• New season initiatives include a behind-the-scenes video series and live event activations showcasing the Isuzu D-Max.
• Shared values of reliability, endurance, and community connect Isuzu and Point-to-Point, reflecting the D-Max’s capability and rural appeal.

Isuzu UK is proud to announce its continued role as the Headline Partner of GB Pointing for the 2025/26 season, marking the second year of the successful collaboration between the renowned pick-up brand and the grassroots heart of British jump racing.

Building on the success of the inaugural year in partnership, the relationship between Isuzu and British Point-to-Pointing is growing to new heights this season. The partnership will include exciting new initiatives such as a behind-the-scenes series offering exclusive insights into the world of Point-to-Point racing, and a range of event activations throughout the season where spectators can experience the rugged capability and refined design of the Isuzu D-Max first-hand.

Point-to-Pointing remains one of the UK’s most cherished rural sporting traditions, with events taking place at 80 courses across the country. Known for its warm, community-driven atmosphere and deep roots in the countryside, the sport serves as a proving ground for future champions, both equine and human; over 70% of professional national hunt jockeys and 35% of licensed trainers began their careers “pointing.”

Paul Miller, Chief Executive at the Point-to-Point Authority, commented: “We’re delighted to see Isuzu continuing its commitment as Headline Partner for a second season. The brand’s enthusiasm for Point-to-Pointing has been fantastic to witness, and their involvement helps bring our sport to new audiences across the UK. This growing partnership celebrates shared values of reliability, endurance, and community spirit, qualities that lie at the heart of both British Point-to-Pointing and Isuzu.”

George Wallis, Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK, added: “We’re thrilled to saddle up for another exciting season with GB Pointing. The bond between our two worlds is a natural fit; both are rooted in rural life, resilience, and performance. Just as riders trust their horses to tackle tough terrain, our customers trust the D-Max to take on every challenge. It’s a fantastic partnership as a result of this synergy.”

The Isuzu D-Max remains a favourite among equine enthusiasts, offering a 1-tonne payload and 3.5-tonne towing capacity with Trailer Sway Control, making it ideally suited for towing horse boxes and transporting gear. Its shift-on-the-fly 4WD system, rear differential lock, and Rough Terrain Mode also ensure it excels across the toughest countryside conditions, perfectly aligned with the spirit of Point-to-Point racing.

With the partnership entering its second year, Isuzu UK continues to strengthen its ties with Britain’s rural community, bringing together the thrill of grassroots racing and the capability of the award-winning Isuzu D-Max.
