04 March 2009 FxPro becomes new partner of the BMW Sauber F1 Team

"Formula One is an ideal platform and BMW the perfect partner."

The next test in Barcelona, Spain taking place next week will see the BMW Sauber F1.09 out on track with a brand-new partner on board: world leading Forex broker: FxPro (www.FxPro.com), the financial services provider specialising in Currency Pairs, Stocks, Futures and Precious Metals. The outing will display the prominent sponsor spaces on the front wing and exterior mirrors of the team cars. The company logo will also appear on the drivers' helmets and overalls, as well as on BMW Sauber team clothing, trucks and pit equipment.

BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen comments: "We are delighted about our new collaboration with FxPro. Particularly in economically challenging times such as the present, it is a great achievement for our BMW Sauber F1 Team and for Formula One to have gained another strong partner."

Ilya Holeu, Marketing Manager of FxPro, sums up the rationale behind this broad-scale involvement over numerous years: "In Formula One we see an ideal platform and in the BMW Sauber F1 Team the perfect partner to collaborate at a global level. The opportunities for both brands to succeed in their expert field can only be improved by this partnership. We see the same company attributes in Formula One which makes this the ideal match for FxPro."
