Alex Tagliani's confirmation in the Conquest Racing team for the remaining two events of the 2008 IndyCar Series schedule has led to the team picking up a couple of new sponsors.
The #36 machine driven by the Canadian veteran will now feature the logos of long-time personal partners Ubisoft and Sennheiser at the PEAK Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300. The companies will be prominently featured on the sidepods and engine cover of the car.
“We're pleased to welcome world-renowned companies Ubisoft and Sennheiser to our team this weekend,” team owner Eric Bachelart commented, “We're looking to build our future with Alex and I hope this is the beginning of a long relationship between all of us.”
Ubisoft, whose logo will be featured on the sidepod of the #36 Dallara-Honda, is a leading international developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment products such as
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six,
Assassin's Creed and
Rayman, while Sennheiser is a world leader in the supply of high-end audio equipment to the aviation, entertainment and telecommunications industries.
“We're excited to be able to support Alex in his racing endeavours and, with Alex having the chance to drive for Conquest Racing in the IndyCar Series, it's an added bonus for us to be associated with such a professional race car team,” said Ubisoft Canada president Olivier Ernst, “Alex has been, and is, a great ambassador for us. He deserves the chance he has been given and we're happy to be able to continue our relationship with him.
"And, thanks to his partnership with Sennheiser, there has been a great business to business relationship between each company, which makes even greater sense to continue with Alex.”
After announcing it was extending its sponsorship of Tagliani through 2009, Sennheiser will get additional exposure on the engine cover of the Canadian's car at this weekend's Chicagoland finale.
