Caterham welcomes AirAsia on board for Moto2 ™ debut season

Caterham Moto Racing Team is pleased to announce that AirAsia has become the team’s title sponsor as it prepares for its debut in the 2014 Moto2 ™ World Championship.

The team title sponsorship reaffirms AirAsia’s continued commitment to the world of international motorsport through its partnership with the mid-range newcomers.

Aireen Omar, CEO of AirAsia Bhd, said: “We are very proud to be the title sponsor of this exciting new team and look forward to continuing our partnership with Caterham, a team with a great racing history known for innovating our brands and we are happy to be part of the team. We look forward to a successful season. “

At the unveiling of the partnership, the AirAsia-Caterham Moto Racing Team also unveiled its new 600cc four-stroke Moto2 ™ racing machine and racing leather with AirAsia livery and introduced its two riders, Johann Zarco and Josh Herrin, for the team’s first racing season . Both drivers will start as team manager under the supervision of Johan Stigefelt.

Stigefelt commented, “AirAsia comes at a great time in our development. In a very short time we managed to build a strong team with two great drivers. We did five tests that were very important for us to get as much data as possible and next week we will go to Jerez for the final pre-season test which will give us a clear idea of ​​where we are compared to our competitors because we will all be driving on the same engines and tires. “

“Then the season starts and we can hardly wait for it to start because it is so competitive – anything could actually happen!”
