It\u2019s an iconic status symbol \u2013 so when the Forward Racing Team unveiled the first official images of the MV Agusta<\/strong> chassis prototype for the Moto2 2018 <\/strong>championship on Monday 30th July, the proverbial tear is likely to have fallen down the cheek of many long-term fans.\u00a0The moment saw the return to the world stage, after 42 years, of one of the most prestigious and winning brands in the history of not just Italian, but also European, motorcycling.<\/p>\n

As racing fans, we might wonder about the decisions behind the MV Agusta<\/strong>\u2019s reappearance. Of course, there are nostalgic reasons \u2013 but it\u2019s not only emotion that drives a manufacturer to enter (or re-enter) an important sporting event like the Moto2 World Championship<\/strong>. There is money to invest, equipment to source and test, resources needed internally and time-wise\u2026 there are multitudes of factors to consider.<\/p>\n

So, what are the benefits of racing for automotive companies? For context, let\u2019s first look at the history of the MV Agusta<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The history of MV Agusta, an iconic motorcycle<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Meccanica Verghera (MV) Agusta\u2019s history stretches back to 1945, when it was created as an offshoot of an aeronautical project by Italian Count Giovanni Agusta in the small town of Cascina Costa di Samarate in the province of Varese.<\/p>\n

Through luck, chance (or maybe even fate), the liberation of 1945 saw the construction of military aircraft in Italy suspended \u2013 leaving Count Agusta\u2019s factory to return solely to the production of \u201cland vehicles\u201d. The first MV Agusta<\/strong> was born.<\/p>\n

The 1950s saw great business expansion teamed with pioneering engineering innovation. MV Agusta<\/strong> introduced the progressive hydraulic gearbox, injection systems for 2 and 4-stroke engines, and new lubrication systems. The bikes made in Varese grow in popularity and reliability; so much so that the 125 and 15 four-stroke models of 1959 are given the name Centomila, as the kilometers that could be covered in warranty.<\/p>\n

In the late 1950s, the attentions of the bike\u2019s creators moved away from mass locomotion and more towards competitive racing. The years between 1959 and 1971 can be characterised by a strong racing spirit – these are the years that long-time fans remember as those of perhaps the most brilliant times in world championship motor racing<\/strong>. Surtees, Read and Hailwood were all competing, and the great Giacomo Agostini had made the brand born in Cascina Costa the most feared on the racetracks all over the world.<\/p>\n

From 1952 to 1974 MV Agusta<\/strong>\u2019s 38 drivers and 37 manufacturers won 75 world titles, establishing themselves as the most successful European brand in the history of two wheels. It\u2019s a record that still holds.<\/p>\n

What happened to MV Agusta in the 1970s?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starting with the death of Count Agusta in 1971, the MV Agusta<\/strong> brand suffered from mixed fortunes \u2013 including a period of silence from the early 1970s to the early 1990s, when Italian motorcycle manufacturer Cagiva finally lifted the veil and reminded the world of MV Agusta<\/strong>\u2019s relevance once more.<\/p>\n

The years after saw the brand passed around like a hot potato between various hands, including those of Husqvarna, Bimota, Harley-Davidson<\/strong> and Piaggio<\/strong>, before it finally returned to its home at Lake Varese, with a 25% share of Mercedes AMG<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was the new MV Agusta<\/strong> that, not without difficulty, managed to drag itself out of the 00s financial crisis thanks to the production of models of extraordinary charm and performance, which bewitched customers around the world. The Brutale<\/strong>, the F4<\/strong> and the F3<\/strong>, together with the Dragster <\/strong>and the Turismo Veloce<\/strong>, are the models of the future.<\/p>\n

In 2017, Castiglioni took over 25% of the company\u2019s shares from Mercedes AMG<\/strong>. In the same year, finally, the group announced that it was back in profit.<\/p>\n

It was a welcome return to form for the iconic brand, and the MV\u2019s appearance on 30th July shows that there is more to come.<\/p>\n

2019 will mark the return of MV Agusta<\/strong> in the Moto2 championship<\/strong>, alongside the Forward Racing Team, with the role of chassis (the engines of the whole Moto2 class will be supplied by Triumph). The appearance will bring the end to an absence lasting 42 years: an infinite amount of time in a world like the world’s biggest motorcycle competition. It is a world that is decided by tenths, if not hundredths, of a second, after all.<\/p>\n

Why do manufacturer race in the Moto World Championship?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Skipping the gap created by time, as MV Agusta<\/strong> is doing, is an operation that requires courage, trust and extraordinary awareness, as well as an important investment in terms of staff and money.<\/p>\n

So, what drives MV Agusta<\/strong> to return? And, more generally, why do big manufacturers like Honda, Ducati, Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM<\/strong> and Aprilia <\/strong>commit huge resources to stay in the MotoGP, Moto2<\/strong> and Moto3<\/strong> championships every year?<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t provide the official answers of the manufacturers, but we can certainly consider some potential factors.<\/p>\n

An extraordinary mobile marketing platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s clear that the Moto world championships <\/strong>are an extraordinary platform for all motorcycle manufacturers \u2013 a platform that offers huge visibility and awareness.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the reach of the championship (208 countries connected worldwide, for 19 stops a year), MotoGP, Moto2<\/strong> and Moto3 <\/strong>are certainly some of the most powerful communication vehicles for anyone in the road motorcycles sector. Being on the starting grid of a Grand Prix means to be seen by the eyes of millions of potential consumers all over the world. Add to this the fact that the MotoGP<\/strong> is a traveling championship, able to allow online and offline promotion operations across very different and distant territories, and the value behind it becomes even more clear.<\/p>\n

A symbol of excellence<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Simply put, being accepted in the world\u2019s top two-wheeled world championship means excellence. To be able to compete at this level it is necessary that the manufacturer, the technology used and the projects created are of a very high quality.<\/p>\n

This is a fact well known by customers, the public and consumers, who recognise the brands represented in MotoGP<\/strong> and in Formula 1 as the pinnacle of their respective worlds – on two and four wheels. In terms of brand positioning, participation in these series immediately communicates quality and value.<\/p>\n

An instrument of innovation and technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The MotoGP World Championship<\/strong><\/a>, like Formula 1, is a prototype championship. This means that the vehicles participating are not those that can be found in the dealerships of the various houses.<\/p>\n

Because of this, the Moto <\/strong>championships are a key area of \u200b\u200bresearch and development for all manufacturers – who can then take the innovation developed in the races from the track to the road, and into their commercial vehicles.<\/p>\n

Many of the technologies developed in the field of racing, both with two and four wheels, are indeed later used for more every day vehicles – frames in cars, traction controls, anti- wheeling and latest generation braking systems are just a few key examples.<\/p>\n

Being at the highest point of racing means guaranteeing a manufacturer\u2019s”traditional” customer base an excellent technological research background \u2013 something that is valued extremely highly.<\/p>\n

A way to reward and expand business opportunities <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It goes without saying that championships such as those mentioned are incredible settings to expand and empower any business.<\/p>\n

The hospitality opportunities available at MotoGP<\/strong><\/a> allow manufacturers to welcome guests, reward their best customers, offer unforgettable weekends to potential investors, and to reward their staff for the good work already done.<\/p>\n

The Paddock, for example, is a place populated by the best of the moto<\/strong>\u00a0industry. It offers a unique possibility for B2B operations, and the expansion of possibilities that are open to the brand. These championships are an occasion for the best of the automotive industry and its main investors and stakeholders to gather and network. Because of course, it is often outside the offices and far from the classic places of work that the best conversations happen. Track-side is just one of these places.<\/p>\n

A great story to tell<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At its heart, sport is a great story \u2013 and the romanticism and nostalgia of motor racing has a strong part to play in that. The world championship offers a compelling narrative, full of hope, heroes and heartbreak.<\/p>\n

As a business, manufacturers can leverage this story through their marketing and communications, and angle it in a way that will capture public interest and bring about attention on social and in both online and offline media.<\/p>\n

In a world where content marketing and storytelling have become a vital for an effective corporate communication strategy, a high-profile sports series can be an effective instrument.<\/p>\n
