Pramac Racing is pleased to announce its new partnership with title sponsor Octo Telematics
Pramac Racing is pleased to announce its new partnership with Octo Telematics, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of insurance telematics technology. This means that, starting at this weekend’s Moto Grand Prix at Mugello, the team will be known as ‘Octo Pramac Racing Team’.
The new livery has been unveiled today during the MotoGp pre-event in Siena.
This sponsorship deal underlines Octo’s strategic commitment to developing telematics solutions for motorcyclists. This strategy started with the European launch of “Octo Rider 1”, the first device designed to allow motorcyclists to benefit from personalised services for bike insurance policies based on the “pay as you drive” concept.
The technology partnership signed with Pramac Racing Team (a Ducati factory-supported team) will enable Octo to test and experiment new applications in order to transform this experience into innovative services accessible to everyday riders of scooters and motorcycles.
