The start of the season is already under the belt and the Gresini Family still keeps growing, this time courtesy of the partnership with Italjet, an Italian institution with solid roots in the so-called Motor Valley.
 
Italjet becomes technical sponsor of Team Gresini MotoGP, who just made their debut under Losail’s floodlights in Qatar last Sunday with the two brothers Alex and Marc Marquez.
 
The partnership will not stop at the track, as the famous Italian motorcycle manufacturer has already a Gresini Racing-liveried version of its top product DRAGSTER in the works.

MASSIMO TARTARINI – PRESIDENT & CEO of ITALJET
“For us it’s an incredible honour to become Technical Sponsor of Team Gresini, a squad that has established itself among the top protagonists of MotoGP – while aiming higher and higher each year. We’re tied to Team Gresini through a solid partnership, and we also have a very strong sense of belonging to our territory, Italy’s Motor Valley. This partnership will also lead to the development of a Dragster Replica with Team Gresini’s colours. The DRAGSTER, which we define as an Urban Superbike, is an ode to sport and its values.”
 
CARLO MERLINI – GRESINI RACING COMMERCIAL AND MARKETING DIRECTOR
“I’m very, very pleased to welcome Italjet among Gresini Racing MotoGP’s technical sponsors. We share a very pronounced racing DNA, obviously, but also the fact that we belong to a territory that, as it’s well known, has extremely strong connections to motorsport. We developed with Italjet a dual partnership: on top of the sponsorship, there’ll also be an agreement to develop a Gresini Racing MotoGP replica of the Dragster, the iconic model of the Italjet range that will soon be available in the distinctive colours of team Gresini.”

The United Arab Emirates has some of the most prominent landmarks in the world, like the tallest skyscrapers, fascinating human-made islands, and nightclubs, which are among the top 15 establishments in the world. Most of these places are located in Dubai. Therefore, lots of travelers come to Dubai to explore these places. However, they may need to rent an exotic car at https://trinityrental.com to enjoy their trip. After all, most people arrive in Dubai by plane, so they need a car to pick them up at the airport and deliver them to the specified place.

Let’s learn how to choose a car rental agency with the highest-quality services and what brands to choose for your luxury stay in Dubai.

Choosing The VIP Rental Agency: Tips And Suggestions  

Renting a car is a must-have for business people (when they’re in a new country) and tourists who aren’t tight on a budget and want to get around the city in comfort. So, what do you do to rent car in Dubai? The first and most important thing is to pick a reliable agency with excellent

conditions. Luckily, the demand in Dubai is enormous, leading to business competitiveness. Finding the best service to rent a premium sports car is relatively easy.

However, we have a few tips for you to use to find “hidden gems” of rental services in Dubai:

● Check the reputation and reviews. Seek companies with a solid track record of exceptional service and customer satisfaction. Online reviews from previous clients can give you a better idea of what to expect.

● The fleet and its condition. The best VIP rental agencies provide what some call “the crème of the crop” in the automobile industry. A reputable company offers access to the newest car models and elite brands like Maserati, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, etc. Such companies also provide SUVs, cabriolets, convertibles, and sports cars — all luxury types of cars.

● Support and services. Check out what the company offers clients, like a personal manager, additional features, etc. The top agencies want to impress their clients and provide better support conditions.

● A convenient website. Last but not least, a proper agency needs a user-friendly website. A reliable business invests in developing an easy-to-navigate website where users can pick a service and simply place an order.

If you can't decide which company to choose and don’t want to waste your precious time reviewing tons of companies, it’s time to consider Trinity Car Rental. The company offers:

● No deposit for the rental period. Only some rental companies can boast this unique feature.

● A rich and modern fleet of VIP cars (over 60 vehicles). They include the latest 2023 models with minimal mileage.

● The rental price includes 300 km mileage per day, toll roads, VAT, and full insurance.

● Every client gets a full tank of fuel. You shouldn’t pay for it, as it’s a gift.

● You can make a payment in any convenient way — a credit card (Visa or MasterCard), cryptocurrency, or cash.

● If you have any questions, you can always contact your personal manager and solve your issue as soon as possible.

● No need to come to the company’s office to rent a car. The car you’ve picked can be delivered to any specified location — airport, hotel, city center, shopping mall, bars, restaurants, etc.

If you can’t drive but want to feel your luxury staying in the heart of Dubai — rent a car with driver. Traveling around magnificent Dubai in an exotic car with a personal driver sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Why not make it come true?

Top Luxury Car Brands in Dubai

So, what prestige brand to choose? While you're in Dubai, consider one of the top world manufacturers.

Here is the list of TOP 5:

● Ferrari. The cars of this brand have powerful engines which provide high speed and acceleration. Their aerodynamic designs ensure agility and performance on the road. Inside, the cabins have premium materials that offer comfort.

● Maserati. These vehicles feature high-performance engines that achieve some of the highest speeds. Their Italian styling enhances both aesthetics and performance.

● McLaren. With lightweight construction and robust engines, these vehicles were designed for extreme performance. Inside, the driver-focused interiors offer true luxury.

● Rolls-Royce. These cars don't need any introductions. They are genuinely royal-like. Rolls-Royce cars boast powerful engines like V12 configurations that secure seamless acceleration. They have classic designs and iconic features.

● Mansory. This manufacturer specializes in bespoke modifications that improve luxury cars with unique exterior styling and personalized performance upgrades. They are constructed with custom-tuned engines and aerodynamic enhancements, allowing Mansory cars to accelerate and reach top speeds.

These brands are considered luxury even among the top manufacturers in the world. Our reasoning is simple: Dubai offers access to exclusivity, so you should try it while you're in the city.

Insider Rental Tips For Best Rent Conditions

Choosing the most high-quality agency and renting a vehicle might not be enough, but several tips can help you get the best conditions. For instance, consider your timing; the best time to rent a car is during off-peak seasons when demand is lower. You may not get a lower price, but most car models will be available.

Another tip is to book in advance, as early reservations often mean that you can get the car right after you get outside the airport. Additionally, consider renting from local agencies rather than international chains, as they may offer more competitive rates and personalized service.

If you want to avoid unexpected charges, don’t forget to review the terms and conditions, insurance coverage, and mileage limits. Inspect the car thoroughly before driving off to check for any existing damages and ensure everything is in working order. Thus, these simple tips should help you get the dream car you've always wanted to test.

Thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts voted for their favourite stands after they attended Motorcycle Live - the UK’s biggest and most interactive motorcycle and scooter show - and the winners of the annual ‘Best in Show’ awards have been announced.

Completing the hat-trick in the manufacturer category, BMW Motorrad UK scooped both ‘Best Stand’ and ‘Best Customer Experience’ for the third year in a row

Visitors cited reasons including the number of models available to see, friendly staff, stand layout and the live display in the ‘Make Life a Ride Arena’ as to why the brand was most deserving of the two titles once again.

As well as displaying its extensive 2024 line-up, the stand played host to the global unveiling of the brand-new R 12 and R 12 nineT during the show and at the heart of the stand was the Make Life A Ride Arena. Running four times throughout each day, it offered visitors the chance to get up close and personal with the new R 1300 GS, watch live demonstrations by the BMW Off Road Skills instructors and learn new skills in the interactive sessions.

Helmet City also achieved the triple, winning Best Customer Experience’ in the non-manufacturer category for a third successful year. Visitors applauded a busy stand packed with a wide range of motorcycle helmets available for purchase with professional, trained staff on hand to help with choice and fitment.

Scott Grimsdall, Head of Marketing of BMW Motorrad UK, said: "Motorcycle Live provides a great opportunity to showcase our new product, with the 2023 show proving a perfect platform to introduce the new R 1300 GS to both existing and prospective BMW riders in our Make Life a Ride arena. To win both awards again reflects the hard work and dedication of the BMW Motorrad team who help put this event on. I would like to thank those who visited the BMW Motorrad stand at the show and voted for us and look forward to seeing them again in 2024."

Jennifer Holmes, Director of Helmet City, commented: "It's such an honour to win this award for the third time running. The whole team works hard every year to maintain and improve our customer service and we’re glad to see the customers coming back to us year after year and, of course, voting for us."

Motorcycle Live, in association with Bikesure, will open its doors at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC), Birmingham from 16th-24th November 2024. ‘Early bird’ tickets are on sale now, visit www.motorcyclelive.co.uk to get yours!

For most bikers, a vacation means hitting the open road on two wheels, embracing the freedom of their bikes, and enjoying untamed adventure wherever the road takes them. But sometimes even the most seasoned riders look for something new, a way of experiencing the world differently and seeing an alternative perspective on travel.

Enter cruise travel. Cruising might sound like the polar opposite of biking (and in many ways it is!) but it is a great way for bikers to explore new destinations and get a very different kind of thrill from exploring the world.

So if you’ve been riding for years and are looking for something novel this year, consider an all-inclusive cruise. Here are a few of the most compelling reasons why cruise travel can appeal to bikers, and how they can make the most of their adventures on the high seas.

A Change of Pace

After spending years exploring the world in the saddle, the idea of letting someone else take the wheel is undeniably appealing. While nothing beats navigating winding roads and breathtaking landscapes yourself, there is a lot to be said for a change of pace, and the chance to relax and unwind while still satisfying a sense of adventure. With a cruise, bikers can still enjoy a vacation where the surroundings are in constant motion, with a new destination on offer every day, but without the stress and exhaustion of driving themselves everywhere.

Exploring New Destinations  

One of the main areas of overlap between a biking and a cruise vacation is the chance to explore a variety of new destinations in one single trip. However, where a cruise offers a difference is the opportunity for exploration without the hassle of planning routes or seeking out appropriate accommodations. A cruise vacation will offer bikers a plethora of scenic coastal roads, historic cities, gorgeous coastlines, and charming villages, all able to be enjoyed from the comfort of a luxury stateroom, with three delicious meals a day prepared for them, and plenty of other entertainment on hand for any downtime. Whether it's cruising along the rugged coastline of Norway, exploring the winding roads of Tuscany, or discovering the vibrant culture of the Caribbean, a cruise offers a journey bursting with excitement and beauty.

Onboard Amenities

Most bikers might be used to roughing it a little while on vacation, as a getaway in the saddle and on the road tends to be DIY and rugged. A cruise vacation brings a whole new level of comfort and luxury that, just once in a while, is hard to beat. From exquisitely appointed staterooms and first-class fine dining restaurants to onboard amenities like spas, swimming

pools, and climbing walls, a cruise ship is an exceptional option for anyone wanting to see the world in comfort and style, exploring exciting new destinations while always having somewhere exceptional to come back to after a long day of fun. A cruise means that bikers can enjoy the finer things in life while still embracing their adventurous spirit.

A cruise might not be the first option that springs to mind for bikers contemplating a vacation, but it offers a unique opportunity to explore new destinations and enjoy the freedom and thrill of the open seas while also taking advantage of comfort and luxury. A cruise brings culture, art, food, architecture, and natural beauty together, adds a sprinkle of adventure and excitement, and combines it all to create a truly awe-inspiring vacation option for almost anyone to enjoy!
