MOMO Becomes Presenting Sponsor For 2016 Targa Trophy Series
MOMO Italy and MOMO USA are pleased to announce participation in the 2016 Targa Trophy series of events. This will include the Targa Trophy Supercar Festival on June 11, Euro vs JDM car show on July 23, and the Pebble Beach Rally in August.
“The Targa Trophy series is all about automotive enthusiasts driving and enjoying their cars,” said Jonathan Sieber from MOMO. “MOMO is all about turning cars from simple tools into a way of life, and we feel that the excitement generated by the Targa Trophy series reflects that ethos. It gives us a great way to meet likeminded enthusiasts, and will allow them to see the latest road wheels and steering wheels from this great Italian design house.”
Joining Jonathan on the Targa Trophy events will be a number of MOMO racing ambassadors, including Formula DRIFT champion Daijiro Yoshihara, IMSA Porsche champion Henrique Cisneros and Pirelli World Challenge driver Shea Holbrook. They will be joining Targa Trophy participants on the road routes, at the parties and will be available for autographs and photos throughout the events.
At each of the Targa Trophy events, MOMO will display its latest road wheels and steering wheels, as well as its racing driver equipment. This will include a number of brand new products launched for 2016 that will give an indication of the new design direction for the Italian tuning and racing company.
“Targa Trophy is an automotive event and lifestyle phenomenon. It provides a wonderful opportunity to enjoy your car on the road and at shows, while combining the social aspect of car ownership with its parties and gatherings. It was this combination of activities and the celebration of automotive culture that encouraged MOMO to participate in the Targa Trophy events for 2016,” said Sieber.
Targa Trophy road rallies are not races or timed events. It is an opportunity for owners to rally together with likeminded enthusiasts, appreciating their company as well as the performance and appearance of their vehicles. By combining road rallies with car shows and social activities, Targa Trophy allows automotive enthusiasts to enjoy their hobby and exercise their passion.
