MAC TOOLS AND AIRWAVES DUCATI JOIN FORCES FOR BSB CHAMPIONSHIP
CHALLENGE
MAC Tools and leading team Airwaves Ducati have joined forces
for an assault on the 2008 British Superbike Championship.
The manufacturer and distributor of premium hand tools, storage
and diagnostic solutions for the professional automotive technician,
will be the official tool supplier of the UK-based squad and
will meet all the team’s tooling requirements this season.
Airwaves Ducati boast an illustrious history in the British
Superbike Championship. They won the riders’ title as
GSE Racing in 1999 and 2000 with superbike legends Troy Bayliss
and Neil Hodgson and repeated the feat in 2005 with Spaniard
Gregorio Lavilla. Despite narrowly missing the title in 2006
and 2007, the team have continuously shown their strength
in the UK’s premier bike racing series, taking 22 race
victories over the past two years.
Mac Tools meanwhile have a long and decorated history as
a leading supplier to successful teams in all areas of motorsport
including NASCAR and NHRA in the US through to Formula One,
the World Rally Championship, Le Mans 24 Hours and Moto GP
on the global platform.
The partnership therefore is a fitting one and Adrian O’Nion,
Managing Director of MAC Tools Europe, expressed his delight
at the agreement. “We’re thrilled to be working
with Airwaves Ducati and very much looking forward to the
season ahead. The team has enjoyed huge success in the British
Superbike Championship and we’re proud to be tying together
the nuts and bolts of their 2008 title challenge.”
Airwaves Ducati Team Manager Colin Wright echoed those thoughts.
“It’s fantastic news for the team to be partnered
with such a well known, industry-leading supplier such as
MAC Tools. The whole team is determined to regain the British
Superbike title from Honda this year and, with the help of
MAC Tools’ range of products, we feel Airwaves Ducati
is well placed to enjoy even more success.”
