We generally don't discuss tastes and colors...
But we find very beautiful those that the Moto3 of the Petronas Sprinta Racing team will wear for three years following a partnership between the SIC Racing Team (SIC meaning Sepang International Circuit, not to be confused with the Italian team of Paulo Simoncelli, SIC 58 Squadra Corse) with the Malaysian oil tanker Petronas.
The team will field the Malaysian driver this year Adam Norrodin and the Japanese pilot Ayumu Sasaki on the handlebars of Honda NSF250RW.
Pn Zahariah (Liza) Abdul Rahman, Senior General Manager of Strategic Communications of the Petronas Group, commented: “Petronas is looking to strengthen its presence and reputation in MotoGP and we are proud to see this project come to life in just a few months.
Petronas Sprinta Racing is also a clear reflection of the shared commitment between Petronas and SIC that Malaysian talents are capable of competing at the highest level if given proper guidance. »
Johan Stigefelt, Team manager: “I am very happy that today we can announce our collaboration with Petronas. It means a lot to be associated with such a high value brand, with whom we have already had a lot of success in Formula 1. This is the start of an excellent partnership, and therefore a very exciting time for all of us. We will work hard to achieve good results and together I hope we can continue our program with Adam and Ayumu in Moto3. I am very happy and proud to be part of Petronas Sprinta Racing.”
#7, Adam Norrodin : “I am very happy to have Petronas Sprinta with us; They are so big and so well known in motorsport that I am very proud to be sponsored by them and to carry their name. I am very excited about this partnership and look forward to this year. This is my third season in the Moto3 World Championship, and so it's a very important year for me. I want to be the best I've ever been. I have a lot more confidence and experience now, so I feel ready to give it my all. I want to be consistently in the top 10, for myself and for the team; I want to fight for the podium. I will attack to be on top and make everyone proud. »
#71 Ayumu Sasaki : “I am very happy to be able to race for Petronas Sprinta Racing. Petronas is a very prestigious company, so it is a real honor to have their support. I am really happy to be part of this family. For me Petronas Sprinta is one of the best sponsors; They already sponsor the champion team in F1, so I want to do my best for them in this Championship. It will be my second year in Moto3, so I will attack harder than before; try to stay in the lead pack and fight for the podium as much as possible. »
