October 28th, 2009 Maranello announces new team
Following the ongoing rumor that is spreading in the paddock and in the environments of the Karting world, with reference to the imminent closure of the Maranello Kart, we spread the following statement to inform all our customers, dealers and fans sector, in which the company Maranello Kart has no plans to close its doors, quite the opposite of what has been said so far we are working towards 2010 and the future, developing two major new projects.
In December of this year we will give life to Maranello Engine KF and KZ. A new challenge Armando Filini and his associates from Maranello Kart, have been proposed to beincreasingly competitive and keep pace with market demands, which becomes every year more and more demanding. The engine that comes from the experience, gained in the field of motorsport in these years of racing will be available later this year.
The second big announcement is the Racing Department. With the result of the companyproducing the Maranello Engines, we have had to modify the structure and organization ofthe company. The Racing Team will be moving to a another location, not far from the main factory.
The Racing Team which will be known as Maranello Kart Ltd, led by our teammanager Euan Jeffery and the usual staff who until now has won countless results, Euan is already working on the selection of drivers who will compete next season in hopes offinding new talent in motorsport like Finnish driver Aaro Vainio, who will move to Formula category from 2010, following the trail of the French driver Jules Bianchi, who this year after winning the Formula 3 Euro Series title in 2009, will move to GP2 in the coming season.
With the hope to be able to give new emotions and success for everyone, we thank all those who have always believed and worked with our company and have made our successes possible.
