Mazda and the Mondello Park Motor Racing School have signed an exclusive five-year deal that will see Mazda Motor Ireland as the exclusive supplier of vehicles to the Mondello Park Motor Racing School. Under the agreement terms, Mazda Motor Ireland will supply Mondello Park with ten race-ready Mazda3 vehicles, which will be used throughout the coming race season. The Mazda3 is renowned as one of the most responsive and sharpest handling cars in its class, and this dynamic chassis will now provide the platform for the fleet of ten race-prepared Mazda3 vehicles. Mondello Park's Racing School has been in operation since 2000 and, with over 5,000 drivers completing courses in 2007, its reputation as the best motor sport experience in Ireland is firmly cemented. The addition of the Mazda3s to the race school fleet is set to add extra 'Zoom-Zoom' to the initial stage of the course, where drivers learn the skills and techniques necessary to drive one of the school's single seat racers. As part of Mazda's partnership with Mondello, two BT-50 pick-ups will also be supplied to the circuit. These vehicles will be fitted out as Fast Intervention vehicles for use during race events at the circuit. Their kit will include fire fighting and towing equipment, in addition to being dressed for circuit use with high visibility signage and warning lights. The Racing School is also benefiting from a new partnership with Safety Direct, who will be the exclusive suppliers of all-new safety clothing and race helmets. Mondello Park Motor Racing School is currently taking bookings for the 2008 season for its beginner, intermediate and advanced courses. |
