As Seen on…

We enjoy being in the news, and we hope you benefit as well!  Our PR efforts are paying off and we have been featured twice on AutoWeek in the last few weeks.  On 5/26/08 in the “Safe and Stylish” section our Tecnica Vintage and the Imola shoes were featured as the Editor’s favorite gear.  On 6/9/08 AutoWeek featured our Stile driving shoe as an idea for a Father’s day gift suggestion.  We are happy to announce that, although there are never guarantees, we expect the Stile shoes and other racing items to be featured again in high circulation magazines such as Automobile Magazine. 


Andretti-Jones

OMP made news all over the world including in the US market for designing and producing a very particular and elaborate suit for Marco Andretti for the Indy 500 event.  In conjunction with the launch of Indiana Jones’ “The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” movie Andretti Green Racing, Lucas Films and OMP worked alongside each other and presented a concept that The Indianapolis Star labeled as “… taking sponsorship to new heights”.  We are currently working with Vitor Meira and Panther Racing on a new project for the Fourth of July IndyCar event in Watkins Glen, stay tuned it’s going to be another media hit!




On Track Results

We would like to congratulate our team and drivers for the great results that include a second and third place in Indy with Vitor Meira and Marco Andretti and again second and third in Iowa with Hideki Mutoh and Marco.  Iowa was also a good weekend for Dillon Battistini and Ana Beatriz who finished first and third respectively.  Gil de Ferran and Simon Pagenaud finished third on their first outing in the American Le Mans Series and Matt Plumb and Gene Sigal were also third this past weekend in Mid-Ohio.  Always impressive the TRG efforts in Grand-Am, but an honorable mention for their win in NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in their first year of operation.  Last but not least we were particularly happy and proud on how Wayne Taylor Racing was able to bounce back after the heartbreaking fire that destroyed everything they had on the semi-trailer.

Highlight of the Month:

OMP is happy to announce to have reached agreements with Miller Motorsports Park and with Mid-Ohio Racing School.  Both trainers and students will use OMP helmets, suits and racing accessories.  After having had the opportunity to use OMP gear we are sure participants will look forward to purchasing OMP for their own racing needs. In addition OMP is sponsoring the Mustang Challenge media car that will generate even more exposure.

World Premier: OMP is proud to sponsor XTREME, a new challenge offered by World Class Driving, the leader in entertainment driving.  XTREME will be launched in Miami, FL in December 2008 and will then expand to California and Texas in 2009. The XTREME challenge is a full track day program that also allows everyday drivers to break the 200 MPH barrier while driving down an 11,000 ft long airstrip. OMP is happy to provide World Classing Driving with OMP safety gear for their new program.
