Louis Vuitton Cup – Dubai – Ritorna la Louis Vuitton Cup. Questo è il frutto dell’accordo raggiunto tra l’America’s Cup Event Authority e il management di Louis Vuitton. La partnership, annunciata questo pomeriggio a Dubai, non si ferma alle challenger selection series del 2013. Già dal 2011, infatti, Louis Vuitton sarà official time keeper degli appuntamenti del nuovo Campionato del Mondo AC45.
Come in passato, quindi, anche la Louis Vuitton Cup 2013 servirà per definire il nome del team che sfiderà BMW Oracle Racing, l’attuale Defender, per la conquista del trofeo sportivo più antico della storia.
La Louis Vuitton Cup si disputerà nell’estate del 2013 e si concluderà all’inizio di autunno, pochi giorni prima dell’inizio dell’America’s Cup. Protagonisti saranno i multiscafi costruiti sotto l’egida del regolamento AC72.
“Siamo elettrizzati all’idea di poter annunciare la continuazione di una partnership trentennale con la Coppa America. Dopo aver incontrato più volte i team siamo convinti che la prossima sarà la miglior Coppa America di sempre” ha annunciato Yves Carcelle, CEO e presidente di Louis Vuitton.
“Siamo davvero orgogliosi che la nostra visione dell’America’s Cup abbia attratto un marchio come Louis Vuitton – ha detto Richard Worth, presidente dell’America’s Cup Event Authority – Proprio nel 2013 si celebreranno i trent’anni della Louis Vuitton Cup ed è anche per questo che la notizia odierna rappresenta una pietra miliare nella storia della Coppa”.
