MV Agusta and ParkinGO team up together for racing return
The Italian MV Agusta company, a leading manufacturer in the 600cc market sector, has decided to come back to the racing world with the ParkinGO Team. Both partners have signed a three-year contract. The program has, as its first step, the debut of the MV Agusta F3 675 in the 2013 FIM Supersport World Championship and the development of MV Agusta's sporting activity.
The project will see the three-cylinder machine from the Schiranna factory undergo development by ParkinGO, the 2011 World Supersport Champions and protagonists in World Superbike last season, in order to make it race-ready.
The ParkinGO Team has reached its dream of a long-term project with an Italian company that can claim a unique record in the racing world, winning a grand total of 37 world titles with the legendary Giacomo Agostini.
The contract with MV Agusta arrives on the same day as the birthday of the late Claudio Castiglioni, who would have been 65 years old today. The date is not just a simple coincidence, but is a virtual continuation of the sporting passion that had always been an important part of his life.
Giovanni Castiglioni (MV Agusta President) declared: "It gives me great satisfaction to announce this agreement with Team ParkinGO. Personally speaking, for me it is a big and exciting challenge as I have inherited from my father the passion for racing. I am convinced that with the experience of engineer Massimo Bordi, who is involved in this project as well, we have all the right components needed to get important results."
Giuliano Rovelli (ParkinGO President) added: "This morning my brother Paolo and I were talking about the big responsibility and at the same time the great satisfaction we feel in signing such an important agreement. Already from the first meetings there has been a good understanding with the management of the company. Our common aims in the project are important components to get the best out of this partnership."
