BRP AUSTRALIA ANNOUNCE
FACTORY SUPPORT FOR ATV RACE TEAM
18/Jan/2008
BRP Australia has officially announced their factory support
for a new ATV race team for 2008 to race in the 3 State Tri
Series, 2008 Australian ATV Motocross Championship, Super 8
Victorian Club Series and Stadium races; a hot new format including
ATV racing with stadium trucks, monster trucks and MX freestyle
riders..
Joining Rick Beer (Vic), new BRP Can-Am Team riders Michael
Roycroft (NSW) and Jamie Barkla (Qld), both highly accomplished
ATV professional riders, will race the 2008 season on the
new 2008 Can-Am™ ATV DS 450X.
According to Can-Am, "The Can-Am DS 450X is a racer's
dream come true; advanced engineering gives it the lightest
weight in the ultra-competitive 450 class. In addition to
its light weight, the ATV's sophisticated front-end geometry
and potent Rotax engine give the DS 450 an advantage with
which the competition will have a hard time keeping up."
Team Can-Am propose to race in all Major Club, State and
National titles this year and will also include any other
major races that come on board such as Stadium MX events and
demonstration events.
“We are very excited to be a part of this new partnership,”
said Grégoire Dupont, General Manager, BRP Australia.
“We encountered time and again the energy and passion
that define the Can-Am customer, the real enthusiast that
lives to ride. We feel this relationship will allow us to
further show the ATV public that Can-Am is also synonymous
with racing success.”
Team Can-Am will also be attending all the Motor bike shows
and Car shows in 2008 presenting some of the most innovative
and exciting ATVs to enter the market, including the most
powerful ATVs in each of their classes. |
