Yamaha backs 2013 AORC

Yamaha has signed on as naming rights sponsor of the 2013 Australian Off-Road Championship, which gets underway in Bulahdelah, NSW, on March 16.

According to Yamaha Motor Australia’s Motorsport Manager, Ray Howard, the sponsorship is an important part of its overall commitment to racing in this country.

“Yamaha has been a long-standing supporter of the Australian Off-Road Championship and we are thrilled to be supporting the series again in 2013,” he said.

“The AORC gives new and experienced riders an unparalleled opportunity to ride and compete at a national level, and gives fans from different states the chance to experience the sport first-hand.

“The championship is vital to the ongoing growth and development of off-road motorcycle sport in Australia – Yamaha is excited to be a part of that,” he added.

This year’s championship will continue the format used over the past two year, where all 12 national rounds will be held in conjunction with state championship events.
