John Mickel and Quiksteel Epoxy Putty have announced a return partnership in the UK National Legends 2026 season in the widely recognised chrome liveried #4 car.

John Mickel, five times UK National Legends Champions and two times World Legends Champion, is returning to the driving seat after nearly a three-season break following a horrific crash in the opening round at Cadwell Park in 2023 - and Quiksteel is fully in support of his return.

Quiksteel is the UK’s strongest and fastest curing high temperature epoxy putty and paste which makes it ideal for repairs on any vehicle, in the workshop and around the home. Trusted by the UK’s and international leading roadside recovery organisations for over two decades Quiksteel will permanently repair and bond all metals, ceramics, wood and even hard plastics.

Mike Schlup, Managing Director of Kalimex, the European distributors for Quiksteel commented “I’m delighted that John [Mickel] has decided to return to the track with UK Legends and this will be a great addition to what is already a very exciting championship. Over the years John has helped to raise the profile of many of our leading brands and I’m looking forward to seeing the Quiksteel car pushing to the front of the pack and getting back on the winners podium.”

John Mickel said “This is quite an emotional piece of news for me. I cannot wait to get behind the wheel and back on track in this fast-paced championship again. I am very grateful for the support from Mike and Kalimex since my accident. There is a lot of talent out there in this series and with substantial changes to the car such as the new MT09 engine, which has a huge impact on the way you drive these feisty Pocket Rockets, I will need to find my feet again!”
