The Red Bull Air Race World Championship is an annual event that was established by Red Bull in 2003. The motor sport competition features the world’s best race pilots, who are challenged to navigate a complex obstacle course consisting of ‘Air Gates’ whilst racing against the clock.
As the official supporter of team Paul Bonhomme, Stolichnaya branding will appear on the aircraft and the pilot’s uniform, as well as on floating barges within the track. The partnership also includes exclusive sponsorship at all Red Bull hospitality areas and associated events throughout the year.
Andrey Skurikhin, partner at the SPI Group, said: “The Red Bull Air Race Championship is an excellent fit for our brand considering that both Stolichnaya and Red Bull are pioneers and leaders in their own field. Establishing a relationship with such an exciting sporting event provides a new communication platform with our consumers internationally.”
The Red Bull Air Race World Championship 2010 takes place in eight different locations from March through to September this year. The sponsorship offers Stolichnaya a huge reach in awareness as the events will be broadcast to approximately 180 countries and will be attended by thousands of air racing fans.
