DARK DOG extends its presence in the motorsport world by supporting the Italian-based Forward Racing Team with its 2 riders Claudio Corti and Jules Cluzel in the Moto GP2. This brand-new series within the world of MotoGP is going to replace the 250cc class. Honda will be the unique supplier of identical engines and thus, equal conditions will be guaranteed for the 25 teams and about 40 riders that will participate in the Moto GP2.
The Moto GP2 - as well as DARK DOG as sponsor of the Forward Racing Team - will definitely have a great media exposure by taking advantage of the internationally huge brand awareness of the traditional MotoGP series. It is the ultimate outlet for unique PR coverage due to extensive worldwide media exposure resulting in amazing visibility.
Moto GP2 and the Forward Racing Team stand for: entertainment, global exposure, dynamism, energy, innovation, professional attitude & excitement - all attributes that also characterize DARK DOG - the Guaraná & Vitamin Energy Drink.
End of February, the Italian-based Forward Racing Team already presented his riders, bikes and sponsors during a press conference held in the Museum of Technology and Science Milano (Italy). Over 150 representatives from national and international press followed the conference - a great opportunity for DARK DOG to present its brand.
One of the two riders of the Forward Racing Team is a familiar face for DARK DOG: besides Frenchman Jules Cluzel, Italian Claudio Corti is going to be the second rider of the team.
DARK DOG and Claudio Corti had already been tipped for success together during the Superstock 1000 Cup when the DARK DOG rider finished the Championship 2009 with a fantastic runner-up position.
Before the start of the first race of the Moto GP2 on 11th April in Qatar, the team will train and do test rides at the end of March in Jerez, Spain. After finishing these tests, 17 events in 4 countries await the riders, the team and DARK DOG during the upcoming eight months.
DARK DOG will keep you updated about the races and the results of the Forward Racing Team during the whole season 2010 and wishes Claudio Corti and Jules Cluzel good luck and superb performances on the circuits all over the world!
