Team Martin Honda is competing for the 2008 Motocross World Championship with two MX1 riders, Julien Bill and Marc De Reuver; the 2008 Motocross European Championship with four riders: Andrea Cervellin, Giacomo Del Segato, Michele De Bortoli and Alessandro Battig; and the MX3 World Championship with Cristian Beggi.

BIGFOOT makes Monster Power with VP Racing Fuel
BIGFOOT® "The Worlds Original Monster Truck" now working with VP Racing Fuels.

The BIGFOOT® #17 Monster Truck Racing Team are delighted to announce a partnership with VP Racing Fuels and the guys at MotorShack.

For some time now BIGFOOT® and the MotorShack team have been working on the best fuel to use to maximise the performance of the "Worlds Original Monster Truck" and after some secret test sessions during the later stages of 2007 MotorShack and VP Racing Fuels came through.

BIGFOOT® #17 driver Nigel Morris said, "We are delighted with this new fuel, you can actually feel the difference in the truck. It accelerates harder and comes up in the rev range much cleaner."

BIGFOOT® #17 uses an alcohol injected and supercharged Ford Racing 572 cu in V8 for power. There are tight engine build limits within the governing bodies (MTRAE) rulebook, so it is important to get the maximum power from within those engine limits.

Nigel again, "for us power is very important, but we also have to drive the trucks during a race. This can and does mean getting into and out of the throttle in very quick succession. The work that the MotorShack team have done to increase throttle response with VP Racing Fuels is stunning."

As current EMTRC Champions BIGFOOT® #17 see VP Racing Fuels as a key component in BIGFOOT® #17’s attempt to retain their EMTRC (European Monster Truck Racing Championship) title in 2008. BIGFOOT® #17 won the EMTRC title in 2003, 2006 & 2007.
