MotoGP legend Kevin Schwantz has ended his fuel with Austin’s Circuit of the Americas and has become an ambassador for the Texas track.
Legal differences between the parties have been settled over promotional rights to MotoGP and the local man will now serve as ambassador for COTA and work to promote the upcoming Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas MotoGP™ event set for April 11-13.
"I look forward to being the ambassador for two-wheel racing for COTA, especially as the 2014 MotoGP season begins and returns to Texas. Grand prix motorcycle racing has been my life, and to help COTA market and promote that moving forward is exciting,” said Schwantz.
As a COTA ambassador, Schwantz will play a prominent role in a variety of promotions for the upcoming Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas event in April, including media availabilities and fan activities. For example, Schwantz will serve as Grand Marshal for the MotoGP race on Sunday, April 13, and will lead the parade laps scheduled for COTA’s personal seat license holders on Friday, April 11, between grand prix practice sessions.
