Newsletter FAI Announces 2017 Sponsorship FAI have a rich motorsport heritage and have enjoyed sponsorship of some incredibly talented individuals on the track. Somebody that we recognised as a strong character and performer years ago was Chaz Davies, a gifted motorcycle racer that has seen fantastic career progression from the start in 1999 when he debuted on a Minimoto. Before reaching the World Superbike Championship, Chaz had already raced for one season in the 125cc World Championship, four in the 250cc and one in MotoGP in addition to competing in the AMA Supersport Championship.
Click here for Chaz’s results from Round 1
Since 2012, Chaz has achieved continuous progression through the ranking in WorldSBK, finishing ninth in his debut campaign. The Welshman finished the following season in 5th position overall on a BMW and in 2014 he moved to Ducati and took sixth position in the standings. In the last two seasons, Chaz has become one of the main protagonists of the Championship and a real contender for the title.
In 2015 he secured the runner-up spot after winning five races and securing a total of 18 podiums, surpassed only by number 1; Jonathan Rea. The following year, he improved dramatically and won 11 races, stepped onto the podium 16 times and took the fastest lap in 10 races. This performance makes him one of the great contenders for the 2017 crown in his fourth season with Aruba .it Racing-Ducati. With our previous sponsorship history with Chaz and the top form that he is currently displaying, FAI are proud to announce the sponsorship of Davies in the 2017 World Super Bike Championship and wish him the best of luck this season. You can stay up to date with Chaz’s results in our monthly newsletter and more regularly on our website News and Social accounts.
