This year will be Foggy Petronas Racing team’s final season in the World Superbike Championship following the end of a five-year sponsorship deal with Petronas
Team owner, Carl Fogarty, commented: “We are honoured to have been able to be a part of this exciting, challenging and rewarding project. We always knew that building a brand new motorcycle and to compete against the might of the more established motorcycle manufacturers would not be easy. Nevertheless, we are proud of all our accomplishments and to have been able to overcome all the obstacles we faced, to come this far, is an achievement.”
The team will now seek new sponsors and manufacturers for 2007. The Petronas best results were two podium finishes and two pole positions in 2004.
