Spyker F1 signs new sponsor

The Spyker F1 team today announced that it has signed a sponsorship deal with shoe manufacturer Quick Sports International. The new sponsor will supply the Spyker drivers with race boots and team shoes.

The close co-operation between the two organisations will lead to the development of a stylish 'Spyker by Quick' merchandise range. As part of this working partnership, Quick Sports International BV will also hold strategic Q-branding on the Spyker F1 Team race car and race overalls during the 2007 Formula One World Championship.

Colin Kolles, Team Principal and Managing Director
"Ensuring the team have the best equipment and materials is central to Spyker F1 Team's vision. This partnership will allow the team to develop footwear to suit the vast range of activities undertaken by our staff. I am extremely happy to partner an organisation with so much experience and heritage as Quick Sports International BV. Spyker F1 Team will arrive on the 2007 grid with a fresh, dynamic and cutting-edge image so it is important for the team to partner organisations that share these characteristics."

"I am very happy that the famous and very hip brand, Quick has become an Official Sponsor of the team for next season. Even better is that I am involved in the development and design of the new Q-Spyker F1 race shoe and my own race shoe. I look forward to the results and I am convinced that it will make us Quicker. Quick will launch during the 2007 World Championship my personal shoe, the Q Maximum Attack, on the market. This race shoe will be very special with high-tech materials and I am really proud that they will carry my personal signature. Now every fan can be in my shoes. I am also thrilled at how many Dutch companies want to support Spyker F1. This is very encouraging to me and the team and I cannot wait to start racing again."
