SC-Project wins HRC contract
Honda Racing Corporation has announced a new partnership with Milan, Italy based exhaust manufacturer SC-Project as their official Repsol Honda Team exhaust system technical sponsor. The SC-Project logo will feature on the RC213V bikes of reigning World Champion Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa during the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
Only founded some 10 years ago by Marco De Rossi (seen here on the left) and Stefano Lavazza (right), SC-Project has quickly built into a major player in the performance exhaust market, selling through a global distribution network and producing over 40,000 exhausts a year.
The brand is strongly established in the racing world, having enjoyed many years of technical cooperation and racing success at the highest level, including the MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and SBK World Championships. SC-Project was technical partner to Johann Zarco’s Moto2 team as it earned the 2015 and ‘16 world championships.
For HRC, Tetsuhiro Kuwata, HRC Director and General Manager of their Race Operations Management Division, said “we are happy to welcome SC-Project as official sponsor of exhaust systems for our Repsol Honda Team. SC-Project has strong experience at the top level of worldwide motorcycle racing championships, and we are sure this alliance will prove very successful in terms of mutual cooperation and racing achievements”.
Marco De Rossi and Stefano Lavazza said that “for us it’s an honour and a joy to be technical sponsor of exhaust systems for the most important team in MotoGP. Currently SC-Project is one of the leaders in exhaust systems for motorbikes, with leading technology developed at the highest level of competition. We are sure that the collaboration with HRC will improve our brand profile and exhaust technology still further.
“After 2015 and 2016 saw us gain the world championship title as exhaust supplier for Zarco in Moto2, we are proud to now have the opportunity to battle for the senior world championship with Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa”.
