VX reveals MOMO partnership.

VX Racing has announced another big-brand affiliation by revealing a technical partnership with race equipment brand and tuning label MOMO ahead of the 2007 British Touring Car season.

The multiple champion, run by Triple Eight Race Engineering, will receive assorted competition equipment from the Italian manufacturer, ranging from its legendary race steering wheels to custom-designed driver racewear, pit crew wear and team clothing. Undeniably one of the world's most style-driven motorsport and enthusiast tuning brands. MOMO began life by steering John Surtees to his F1 world championship with Ferrari in 1964.

"We are delighted to have formed this partnership with MOMO," Triple Eight's commercial and marketing director Franck Marie said, "Their style, reputation and product range made them the obvious choice to meet our team's race apparel requirements for 2007 as well as supplying specific race car parts for our new Vectra.

"MOMO is, without doubt, one of the most recognised and aspirational brands in its field, and this technical partnership will allow us to benefit from their latest innovations, and work closely to develop future solutions tailored to our needs."

VX's development partner Triple Eight has won 13 of the 18 available BTCC drivers', manufacturers' and teams' titles in the past six years and, for 2007, has developed a brace of Vauxhall Vectra S2000 cars in order to reclaim the coveted manufacturer title for Vauxhall.

"We are extremely pleased to confirm this technical co-operation with VX Racing and Triple Eight," MOMO racing manager Maurizio Iperti added, "We will greatly enjoy sharing our international experience in the design and development of the highest quality racing equipment, and working closely with such a successful team. We have no doubt that Tom Chilton and Fabrizio Giovanardi will be tremendous ambassadors to the MOMO brand and we wish them all success this year."
