Italian generator manufacturer Pramac has struck a deal to become the new title sponsor of the Australian round of the MotoGP World Championship motorcycling series.
Under the agreement, brokered by MotoGP’s commercial rights-holder Dorna Sports, this year’s race will now be known as the Pramac Australian Grand Prix.
Pramac has already established a strong presence in MotoGP, having sponsored the Pramac Racing Team since 2002. The company also served as title sponsor of the 2008 Chinese Grand Prix.
The 2015 Australian Grand Prix will take place over the weekend of October 16-18 on Phillip Island near Melbourne. Swiss watch manufacturer Tissot served as title sponsor of the 2014 race.
