FUNCHAL (PORTUGAL), 25 August 2009 – Braun, the world’s leading electrical foil shaver manufacturer, a well established sponsor of the FIM Motocross World Championship since this year, enhances its cooperation with the series’ promoter Youthstream to become the Title Sponsor of the forthcoming Braun Grand Prix of The Netherlands in Lierop. Braun has promoted its Braun cruZer shaver range with a long standing involvement in extreme sports with a main focus on wheeled sports such as BMX and Mountain Bike. In 2009, Braun initiated its sponsorship of the FIM Motocross World Championships and contributed to offering the free access to Freecaster’s LIVE webcast of all races. The forthcoming Braun Grand Prix of The Netherlands, the penultimate Grand Prix of the 2009 series getting underway this weekend on Lierop’s deep sand, will see an increased interest from the worldwide media as none of the three Titles (MX1, MX2 and WMX) has been taken. Last year the Dutch Grand Prix saw a crowd attendance of 35.000 weekend spectators and won the Best Organizer Award at the FIM Off Road Awards. On its website www.braun.com/cruzer Braun features an extensive LIVE and on-demand video coverage of the FIM Motocross World Championship. LINKS |
