Polaris has announced a new partnership with Status Grand Prix.


Polaris have joined forces with Status Grand Prix

The company will support Status by supplying the team with a top of the range Polaris Sportsman 850 ORV. The vehicle will be used by the team at all European GP2 rounds to transport pit equipment and personnel between the F1 pitlane and GP2 paddock. The Sportsman debut is at Round 2 of the GP2 Series in Barcelona on the weekend 9th and 10th May 2015.

Polaris says the two parties are also exploring some innovative activation plans which may well include Status' drivers swapping their GP2 and GP3 cars for some off-road activity.

Polaris Marketing Specialist Sarah Johnson said, "Polaris is delighted to become an Official Partner of Status Grand Prix, especially with our shared involvement in the sport, with the Polaris factory racing team taking the lead in promoting off-road racing this year."

Status Grand Prix Head of Operations Dave Stubbs commented, "We are delighted with our new found partnership with Polaris. It's clear that we speak the same language when it comes to speed, reliability and being the best. Alongside the Polaris ORV that we will be using at the GP2 race events we are keen to explore joint promotional activities and look forward to attending some of the Polaris off-road racing during the season."
