Pramac signs deal with Mick and Jack Doohan

Pramac has announced a sponsorship deal with both Mick Doohan and son Jack for the 2018 season.

The agreement will see Pramac support Jack during this year's British F4 Championship and selected German and Italian F4 races.

Meanwhile five-time 500cc world champion Mick will become a Pramac ambassador.

“I feel extremely privileged to be part of the Pramac family in 2018, as an ambassador," said Mick Doohan. "Being associated with such a passionate brand, gives our family great pride."

Pramac CEO Paolo Campinoti added: "It's with great pride and satisfaction that we have reached this agreement with Mick and Jack Doohan. Pramac's logo will be displayed on Jack's car in one of the most interesting championships in the single-seater world.

"In addition, Mick will be our [ambassador] both in a market as important to us as the Australian one and globally. This partnership confirms the deep friendship that binds Pramac to the Doohan family. We'll all be supporting Jack in the 2018 season".

The F4 British Championship, certified by the FIA, is the only sing-seater car championship open to 15-year-old drivers and the first step on the FIA single-seater ladder to F1.

Pramac runs the leading satellite Ducati team in MotoGP.
