The Pirtek Rally Team has joined with Altegra Pit Tents to supply all the team's marquee requirements for the 2007 NEC Australian Rally Championship.
For the Pirtek Rally Team, Altegra supplies the marquees for the two rally cars of Michael Guest/Mark Stacey and Darren Windus/Jon Mortimer, the mechanic's supply area, the corporate kitchen and the corporate area itself.
Altegra is also supplying marquees for Fujitsu Racing (Jason Bright) and IRWIN Racing (Alan Gurr) in the V8 Supercar Championship Series.
Rallying requires the Pirtek Rally Team to set-up and pull-down its own service area at each event. Having quality marquees is essential to providing the best work environment for the crew as well as professional presentation.
Jason Bright, Team Principal for the Pirtek Rally Team, Fujitsu Racing and IRWIN Racing, is pleased to welcome Altegra to his organisation.
"We looked at a whole range of marquees for both of our programs and we were very impressed with Altegra," said Bright.
"Strength and quality was essential. As a team we were not prepared to put millions of dollars worth of racing equipment under just any marquee.
"The crew has been very impressed with the Altegra Pit Tents. At the end of the day they are the ones who have to make best use of them.
"Our organisation understands the need to have a bold look that attracts attention. Having these great marquees certainly catches the eye at racing events."
Scott Brasher from Altegra is delighted with the association.
"This is our first foray into marketing ourselves with a major operation," said Brasher.
"When we were first approached I was pleased to be able to work with the team and find the solutions for what they required.
"We have supplied a range of 6-metre x 3-metre and 4.5-metre x 3-metre pit tents, plus the necessary wall and gutter systems.
"The result is an impressive example of how the Altegra Pit Tent system can work in just about any situation. This includes most outdoor activities such as motor sports, camping, parties, sporting and general events.
"As well as quality our pricing is up to half of that of our competitors. So for those who would not have considered a system like this in the past, they can now look with confidence at the range of marquees from Altegra."
