Italian safety clothing and components manufacturer OMP has been named as a technical partner of the new TCR International Series touring car organisation.
OMP’s deal with the motor racing series is for its inaugural 2015 season.
Under the co-operation, the OMP Trophy will result in prize money being awarded to competitors in the TCR International Series.
Classification for the OMP Trophy will be based on the points scored in the drivers’ championship, increased by a series of coefficients determined by the different levels of OMP equipment used by each driver or installed in their car.
Established as a cost-effective alternative to the World Touring Car Championship, the 2015 TCR International Series season begins at Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia, on March 29.
