Alldritt Development Limited has been supportive of the Grand Prix since the first event, allowing the race to use their properties and facilities for the race location and headquarters. Without this support the race would not be possible in the downtown core, one of the key aspects that makes the race so appealing to racers and accessible to spectators. Alldritt is very involved with the development of the Town of Devon, and particularily with the downtown area, in the heart of Devon.
