Maxxis Signs-up for Three More Years of Motocross
Under: Maxxis Sport on
25 March 2010
Maxxis will be title sponsor of the ACU British
Motocross Championship for three more years, giving security,
stability and a strong financial and promotional footing to the
best national series in the world.
It means the innovative series organised by ACU Events, which
has brought in a new Superpole and three race per day format for
2010, will have a stable base for growth and expansion until at
least 2013, giving the sport a major boost.
Maxxis is one of the leading suppliers of
competition off-road, on-road, car, van, truck, agricultural and
bicycle tyres in the world, with 40-years of manufacturing
experience allowing it to offer unequalled performance and quality
at cost effective prices. It has been title sponsor of the
British Motocross Championship since 2002 and is a stalwart of the
sport in the.
Maxxis International UK's managing director
Derek McMartin said: "Since we originally signed up as title
sponsor back in 2002 the Maxxis ACU British Motocross Championship
has developed into one of the strongest and most exciting series
anywhere in the world.
"Our ongoing investment is enabling the series to attract bigger
and better fields and provide opportunities for talented young
riders to break through into the professional ranks, while its
higher profile and professional organisation has prompted sponsors
from outside the motorcycle industry to get involved.
"In renewing our support for the British Motocross Championship
for a further three years, and sponsoring two factory teams this
season, we aim to help the ACU reach a bigger and broader
audience. This will be achieved not only through primetime TV
coverage, but also via digital media initiatives".
The Maxxis British Motocross Championship is an
eight round series in 2010, stretching from Little Silver in Devon
to Duns in and also taking in the Grand Prix track at Mallory Park
and a new track at Silverstone. Other top class venues
include Lyng in Norfolk and established and historic Farleigh
Castle , Foxhills and Hawkstone Park.
ACU Events series manager Brian Higgins said: "We have developed
a long and productive relationship with Maxxis and
are absolutely delighted to have its support for a further three
years.
"It is testament to the proactive and professional approach that
ACU Events takes to the series that it can retain such a large
well-known brand as Maxxis as a title sponsor and
other major sponsors. We will be looking to grow, improve and
expand with Maxxis' support, and riders plus
spectators in the can look forward to three years of top
competition and events".
