Team Stargate Worlds partners with BRM Timepieces

Team Stargate Worlds/HVM Racing is very pleased to announce a multi-year partnership with Bernard Richards Manufacture (BRM), a worldwide leader in luxury timepieces. In addition to becoming Team Stargate Worlds/HVM Racing’s official timepiece provider and Associate Sponsor for the team, the multi-faceted and unique partnership will allow BRM and Team Stargate Worlds/HVM Racing to take advantage of the synergies that all parties bring to the motorsports world.

One of the most exciting aspects to the partnership is that BRM has committed to producing 78 customized watches in honor of Simona De Silvestro and her #78 Stargate Resistance entry. The limited edition model will have De Silvestro's signature emblazoned on the back and will be available to the general public for sale later this year. “I am honored that BRM has chosen me and Team Stargate Worlds/HVM Racing for this extraordinary honor. The watch is stunning, unique and its quality, as all of BRM's other watches, is unquestionable", states an elated De Silvestro.

The sponsorship announcement comes on the heels of the newly announced partnership between Team Stargate Worlds and HVM Racing. “We always enjoy partnering with organizations of quality that have a true appreciation and love for racing," said Keith Wiggins, HVM Racing team owner. “BRM is highly regarded in the racing world, so we’re proud to be working with them and thrilled they will be celebrating Simona’s rookie year in the series with a customized timepiece."

For his part, Imran Safiulla, Team Stargate Worlds’ Team Principal was elated with the newly cemented deal. “This is a very prestigious relationship for us. We are very impressed with BRM's luxurious product line and most importantly their consistent creativity influenced from within the motor sports world. I would like to welcome Frederic and his organization into our racing family and look forward to a long and successful association," states Safiulla.

BRM's customer will also benefit from this new partnership as a select few of its customers will get the rare opportunity to experience the passion and thrill of driving a real race car. B.R.M. and Team Stargate Worlds/HVM Racing have agreed to create the BRM Driver Experience. Selected customers will get to experience the thrill of strapping themselves into one of the Team Stargate Worlds Atlantic Championship race cars and racing around the team's home track of Buttonwillow Raceway under the guidance, training, and support of the team. "This was a much anticipated relationship for us. We are very proud to be associated with a racing team like Team Stargate Worlds/HVM Racing, who represent a unique perspective. Our entire branding and product development revolve around the motorsports arena and to have a team and driver combination that they have, and who we feel are poised to make motorsports history, is a perfect fit. We look forward to a successful 2010 racing season in the IZOD IndyCar Series and beyond," States BRM North America Operations President, Frederic Gasser
