Yamaha Grand Prix visits Davao

THE Yamaha Grand Prix sanctioned by the National Motorcycle Sports and Safety Association will visit the province of Davao for the underbone road race this Sunday at the SM parking lot.

Riders from Mindanao will battle it out for cash prizes and trophies and get the chance to win a slot to international competitions.

The event highlights the latest Yamaha technology for the daily automatic scooter and underbone models of the Mio, Vega, Krypton, Sniper and the latest Mio Fino models.

The series tests Yamaha’s technology to enable end-users to maximize the power and limits of the new products.

"We believe in bringing races to the people by holding our events in city centers. With the highest safety rating approved by NAMSSA we can showcase Yamaha products at the peak of their performance. We will also have side shows and showcase our latest models," said Rodney Bersamina, marketing manager of Yamaha Philippines.

The NAMSSA is the sole local body accredited by the Philippines Sports Commission, Philippine Olympic Committee and the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme, the world governing body for motorcycle sports.

The event, previously staged in Luzon and the Visayas, is being held in accordance with international safety standards and uses state-of-the-art air pillow fence safety systems imported from Australia being used in FIM international races.
