Ferrari To Supply Engines For A1gp

Ferrari has struck a long-term deal to manufacture and supply all the engines
for the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport series from the start of next year.

Ferrari has signed a six-year partnership agreement to manufacture and supply
all A1GP engines and will consult on the design and manufacture of all A1GP car
chassis for use in the 4th year of the series (2008/09). 

The partnership with Ferrari extends to an exclusive licensing agreement for
all A1GP merchandise to use the Ferrari name and phrase ‘Powered by Ferrari’
from January 2008.

The introduction of A2GP has also been announced – a regional single-seat
racing car series developed by A1GP to begin testing in 2009. Ferrari will be
integral to the growth of the new series and will again supply all engines and
consult on the design and manufacture of the new chassis.  

A1GP also maintained its commitment to commercial partners and fans as a
principal factor in confirming the partnership.

Ferrari will add significant value to our brand and in our opinion there is
no better partner to progress the series,’ commented A1GP chairman Tony
Teixeira.

‘We will be meeting with our commercial partners over the next few weeks to
discuss the multitude of exciting opportunities that this partnership
presents.’
