Sunglasses producer Arnette have acquired the Title Sponsor package for the second round of the 2003 MotoGP World Championship to be held in Welkom, South Africa, on April 27th, which will officially be called Arnette Africa’s Grand Prix.

Through the agreement signed between Luxottica, the company that owns the Arnette brand, and Dorna Sports, who holds the commercial and TV rights to the series, the leading sunglasses producer extends an involvement with MotoGP that was already strong thanks to their personal sponsorship to World Champion Valentino Rossi.

The increased presence of Arnette in MotoGP, however, is by no means limited to South Africa. The brand will be a protagonist throughout the whole season at various racing circuits where, alongside the trackside advertisement boards and banners, they will have reserved areas in the VIP Village, and will organise different promotional activities.
