F4 U.S. AND F3 AMERICAS CHAMPIONS TO RECEIVE WATCHES WITH A MOTORSPORT TWIST
SCCA Pro Racing Partners with motorsport-inspired timepiece company Omologato
INDIANAPOLIS (March 3, 2020)- Omologato creates fine motorsport inspired timepieces designed to celebrate iconic locations, cars and figures. Now, Omologato will forge another link in its motorsport profile as the Official Time Keeping Partner of the Honda-powered Formula 4 United States and F3 Americas Championships, designing custom one-of-a-kind timepieces for championship winners, championship team principals and rookie of the year in both series.
The F4 U.S. champion’s custom hand-made watch colorway will feature the series’ colors of red, white, blue and black with the F4 U.S. and SCCA Pro logos engraved on the back. The F3 Americas champion’s colorway will also be in the series’ colors of blue, white and black, featuring the F3 Americas and SCCA Pro logos on the back.
“As a fan of racing to be involved with the F3 and F4 championships here in the U.S. is a massive personal honor for me,” said Omologato Founder Shami Kalra. “Omologato has become known for its involvement in motorsport from sponsoring young karters in Europe to Formula E to the Arrow McLaren SP IndyCar team here in Indianapolis, so supporting this series feels like a natural progression. I’m looking forward to attending as many races as I can this year as a sponsor and a fan."
Omologato will also introduce a new event contingency award- The Perfectly Timed Move of the Race. The driver in both championships who has the best on-track move of the entire race weekend, determined by Race Director Scott Goodyear and series stewards, will receive a commemorative timepiece with the date and track etched on the back.
Replicas of the Omologato Perfectly Timed Move of the Race timepieces will also be available for sale, along with other Omologato motorsport-inspired watches at the track and on the series websites (F4USChampionship.com and F3Americas.com).
