KTM confirm support for Maxxis Series
The first round of the 2008 Maxxis ACU British Motocross
championship, which will take place at Donington Park in a
month’s time, will open what is regarded as one of the
strongest domestic championship’s in Europe. Whilst
Maxxis remains as title sponsors, series promoters ACU Events
are proud to welcome KTM to the fold as an important championship
partner for the forthcoming season.
In addition to this announcement, TMX and sister publication
DBR have also been confirmed as exclusive media partners,
and will be key in promoting all eight rounds of the championship
as well as bringing you the unrivalled coverage of the series
as the campaign travels the length and breadth of the UK.
Series Manager Brian Higgins confirmed the significance of
having the Austrian brand on board for 2008. “We are
really delighted to have a manufacturer supporting the championship
once again, and especially KTM as they are very much involved
in the sport and our series. KTM have a good understanding
of how they can assist in the continued growth and improvement
that the championship has enjoyed over more recent years.”
Reinforcing this sentiment KTM UK’s MD Shaun Sisterson
stated. "The British Championship is recognised as one
of the most competitive domestic championships in the world.
KTM UK is eagerly anticipating this coming year and is delighted
to be formally supporting it. We are also looking forward
to being a part of its growth and evolution in the year to
come."
With Maxxis, Relentless, KTM, TMX and DBR already confirmed
as official series sponsors, ACU Events are also delighted
to announce that Carole Nash has recently renewed its association
with the championship for 2008. Fuchs Silkolene completes
the current line up of sponsors, with the Stoke on Trent based
lubricants company joining the championship for the first
time.
2007 was one of the closest fought campaigns in recent years
with both the MX1 and MX2 titles only being decided during
the very last race of the final round. This year promises
to be an equally thrilling fight to the finish with both Billy
MacKenzie and Mike Brown looking to retain their hard earned
crowns.
With rounds throughout the UK, the championship is never
far away from your home town, so make a note of the dates
now and make sure you don’t miss the action when the
series visits your area.
