Mahindra Racing, Max Biaggi announce collaboration

With the end of its best season to date fast approaching, Mahindra Racing has embarked on an ambitious new project alongside four-time 250cc World Champion and double WorldSBK Champion Max Biaggi. Having achieved tremendous racing success across a multitude of classes, ‘Il Corsaro’ is set to begin a new stage in his career as a team manager and Mahindra Racing ambassador.

 The project will see Max Biaggi operate an official Mahindra-supported team in the Campionato Italiano Velocitá (CIV), and selected races in the FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship, receiving the full technical package alongside support at races and tests from factory Mahindra Racing technicians. This will not only ensure the abilities of MGP3O are taken complete advantage of, but will also provide yet more data for the team at Mahindra Racing’s development centre in Besozzo to analyse.

Mahindra Racing is pleased to work closely with a former rider of Biaggi’s calibre to help him nurture young Italian talent, with Alessandro Del Bianco and Davide Baldini the team’s 2017 riders, a press statement from Mahindra stated. Biaggi’s decision to collaborate with Mahindra Racing for his project is yet another vote of confidence in the MGP3O and the advancements made by Mahindra in 2016. With a major presence in the World Championship, FIM CEV Repsol Moto3 Junior World Championship and the Campionato Italiano Velocitá, 2017 is set to be an ambitious year with huge rewards on offer as Mahindra Racing continues to broaden and diversify its racing activities.
