      Mazda wird Titel Sponsor für`s Portland Rennen


      viel tut sich ja nicht im Augenblick, ausser ein paar Testfahrten von einigen Teams in Portland
      aber eines ist dennoch erwähnenswert:
      Mazda wird Titelsponsor für das Portland Rennen, das trägt damit den wohlklingenden Namen:
      "Mazda Champ Car Grand Prix of Portland Presented by Joe’s Sports and Outdoor"

      Ich frage mich, wann endlich ein Seriensponsor gefunden wird, wenn Champ Car so klasse ist.

      Ich erspare mir die üblichen "... wir sind hoch erfreut ..." , "... alles ist so aufregend ... " Mitteilungen der Beteiligten zu übersetzen, stattdessen hier das Release:


      MAZDA NEW TITLE SPONSOR FOR PORTLAND CHAMP CAR GRAND PRIX

      PORTLAND (May 10, 2007) -- Mike Nealy, President of Global Events Group, announced today that Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) has signed on as title sponsor of the Mazda Champ Car Grand Prix of Portland Presented by Joe’s Sports and Outdoor.

      “To have a title sponsor with the international stature of Mazda is an honor for us,” said Nealy. “They have a reputation as a company ‘that does things right’, and we know they will bring their spirit to an already great event.”

      Mazda, known worldwide for their technological innovations including the introduction of the first mass-produced rotary engine has a rich history in the automotive industry. The first Mazda vehicles arrived in the United States in 1970 and have flourished ever since with quality, value and service.

      “We are excited to be part of the Champ Car Grand Prix of Portland”, says Jim Jordan, Alternative Marketing Manager for Mazda North American Operations. “This wonderful race and its twenty-four year history have long been considered ‘the Gem of Great Northwest sporting events’. We are extremely happy to forge a stronger relationship with Champ Car, its other properties and having the opportunity to maximize our involvement in the community. It will also give us the ability to promote awareness in Mazda through major events and our local dealer groups. We look forward to a great race weekend which features The Cooper Tires Champ Car Atlantic Championship Powered by Mazda, the Star Mazda Series and the Mazda MX-5 Series.”

      The Mazda Champ Car Grand Prix of Portland Presented by Joe’s Sports and Outdoor roars into Portland, Oregon for a Three Day Festival of Speed June 8-10, 2007 at Portland International Raceway. The event will be broadcast live on ABC Television (KATU locally) on Sunday, June 10th at 1PM local and 4PM Eastern time. News Radio 1190 KEX will handle the live radio broadcast.

      seh ich das richtig, das es auch wieder nur ein event sponsoring ist und nix nachaltiges für 2008?

      tschau norman



      ich fürchte, das siehst Du vollkommen richtig, ich verstand es auch so :D, ein 1-race deal

      was 2008 angeht, vielleicht sponsert ja Mazda das Portland Rennen auch im nächsten Jahr, wer weiss?
      Ich denke mal, die haben sich nur "breit" klopfen lassen, weil die Atlantics gleichtzeitig fährt in Portland, da kam es dann auf das Champ Car Rennen auch nicht mehr an, dieses gleich mit zu sponsern :D
