Thursday 11 December 2025 marked a standout moment in the Croxdale calendar, as Alfa Romeo Durham joined forces with long-standing sponsorship partner Durham Cricket for the Winter Jump Meeting at Newcastle Racecourse.
Hosted in the Gosforth Park Suite, the event welcomed over 400 Durham Cricket guests, bringing together sport, hospitality and automotive performance for what has become the cumulative partnership moment of the year.
Positioned proudly outside the front of Brandling House, Alfa Romeo Durham delivered a striking experiential display that stopped racegoers in their tracks. Set against the backdrop of Newcastle Racecourse, three exceptional models showcased the spirit of Italian performance and design:
Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio – powerful, commanding and unmistakably bold
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio – precision, balance and motorsport heritage in saloon form
Alfa Romeo Junior Intensa – a modern expression of Alfa Romeo style and accessibility
Finished with subtle event decals, the display enhanced the racecourse environment without overpowering it, allowing guests to explore the cars up close between races and hospitality moments.
The Winter Jump fixture delivered exactly what jump racing fans expect, competitive racing, strong fields and an atmosphere heightened by crisp winter conditions. With the going described as good to soft, the afternoon produced exciting performances on track while guests enjoyed uninterrupted views from the suite and surrounding areas.
Despite the seasonal chill, conditions remained dry, ensuring the Alfa Romeo display remained a focal point throughout the day and into the early evening.
This event represented far more than a single race day. The collaboration between Alfa Romeo Durham and Durham Cricket reflects a shared commitment to performance, heritage and premium experiences. From pre-event anticipation to live social coverage on the day, the partnership came together in a way that felt authentic, celebratory and proudly local.
Supporting Newcastle Racecourse with an experiential vehicle display also formed part of Croxdale Group’s wider commitment to regional venues, events and audiences, bringing premium automotive brands into spaces where people naturally gather, connect and enjoy memorable days out.
A special thank you goes to On and Gone, who ensured transport logistics ran smoothly, allowing guests and vehicles alike to arrive and depart with ease and professionalism.
From first arrival to the final race, the day captured everything this partnership stands for, shared moments, strong connections and performance at its best.
