Yamaha Motor Finance announced as road race sponsor
17 Mar 2010
Yamaha Motor Finance is pleased to announce its status as naming rights sponsor of the first two rounds of the Australian Formula Xtreme Championship.YMF is a wholly owned subsidiary of Yamaha Motor Australia. The company intends to highlight the quick and convenient loans offered and in particular the current super low 5.99% rate available on selected models.
“The Formula Xtreme road race series draws a big crowd of enthusiasts many of whom would be ideally placed to take advantage of our low finance rates on supersports motorcycles such as YZF-R1 and R6. Plus with the Yamaha Racing Team competing in this history making all new Australian Championship series and generous free-to-air TV coverage at all rounds, it makes great sense for YMF to be involved,” says YMA Director/General Manager Steven Cotterell.
The five round AFXC series is set to move up a gear in 2010 with a combination of big grids at popular race tracks, so YMF is well positioned to earn a good term on its investment: “The organisers have made a big effort with the series this year and attracted some very competitive teams and riders. We’re sure that the combination of talented riders and exciting race formats on much loved tracks easily reached from major state capitals is sure to attract big crowds and strong grids,” continues Cotterell.
The first two rounds take place at Wakefield Park in NSW and Winton Raceway in VIC. The full calendar looks like this:
Australian Formula Xtreme Championship Series:
Rd1 YMF round 27/28 March Wakefield Park NSW
Rd2 YMF round 5/6 June Winton Raceway VIC
Rd3 3/4 July Eastern Creek Raceway NSW
Rd4 11/12 September Wakefield Park NSW
Rd5 30/31 October Eastern Creek Raceway NSW
Yamaha Motor Finance has enjoyed a successful relationship with the Formula Xtreme road race series in the past with various levels of involvement including the supply of a safety air fence… a move very popular with competitors. The Yamaha safety air fence will once again feature in all AFXC rounds.
“We are pleased to welcome Yamaha Motor Finance back on board as a naming rights sponsor. Formula Xtreme racing over the last decade and a half has enjoyed a long and successful partnership with Yamaha and we look forward to continuing and growing this in 2010,” says AXFC race promoter Terry O’Neill.
“History will show that when Yamaha and Formula Xtreme originally started working together from the mid 1990s road racing actually grew substantially in this country, because the racing was first and foremost exciting and fun while still being affordable and providing a level playing field for the majority of competitors,” he continues. “Our aims and goals have not changed or swayed from this path and having Yamaha and YMF Loan on board will assist us in achieving the important goal of growing the sport in Australia,” finishes O’Neill.
