Munich. Breathtaking motocross stunts, sensational locations and top-class events lie in wait as the world’s elite freestyle motocross riders limber up for a new season of Red Bull X-Fighters. And this year the international motocross stars will be supported by a partner whose global brand experience is likewise all about making pulses race among its enthusiastic and demanding fans. The involvement in the Tour of John Cooper Works, the sporting sub-brand of MINI, adds another chapter to a MINI/Red Bull partnership that can already look back on years of success.
For Ralf Schepull, Head of MINI Brand Communication, the appetite of John Cooper Works for imposing horsepower and ultra-sporty kit makes it an ideal partner for a series like the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour. “Red Bull and the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2012 are a perfect fit for the John Cooper Works brand,” says Schepull. “After all, both partners pride themselves on being unconventional and uproarious, power-packed and action-packed. Together they make an impressive team.”
