Dorna Sports is delighted to announce that SHARK Helmets will be the title sponsor of the French Grand Prix for the next three seasons. The event, which has been held at Le Mans for years, will therefore be called the Shark Helmets Grand Prix de France until 2021.
Founded in Marseille 30 years ago, SHARK Helmets has grown to become one of the most popular and respected helmet brands in the world, ensuring the safety of pilots like Jorge Lorenzo and Johann Zarco. SHARK Helmets, which does everything possible to allow riders to race as calmly as possible by always innovating, is an ideal partner for MotoGP™ and the French motorcycle Grand Prix.
Patrick Francois, CEO – SHARK Helmets:
“Racing is our DNA. With nearly 70 World Champion titles, SHARK Helmets relies on competition to stimulate the development of its brand from the start. As a French brand very heavily involved in this environment, we are obviously very proud that our national event will bear the name SHARK Helmets Grand Prix de France for the next three years. This is a very exciting new challenge for our teams. We are also looking forward to working with Dorna Sports to make this event a great success! »
Pau Serracanta, Managing Director – Dorna Sports:
“We are delighted to have SHARK Helmets as title sponsor of the French Grand Prix. Their values perfectly embody those of MotoGP™. Le Mans is always a meeting that attracts crowds. It's excellent news for everyone that such a brand will take on this role for the next three seasons, especially on its home soil. »
