Andrew Murray Manager – Austin Shaw-O’Leary +1.902.499.3610

Austin Shaw-O’Leary and his team are uniquely positioned to bring enormous exposure to the Losail Circuit and the Qatar Motor and Motorcycle Federation (QMMF). They are competing in the highest level of racing in North America, and also wish to compete in the Qatar Superbike Championship.

Austin, and his championship winning team understand the importance of new style marketing where product placement and branding can be extremely effective forms of building a brand such as QMMF and Losail. Promoting race facilities in Europe has been done for many years to bring exposure to new up-coming races and circuits throughout the world.

Based in Canada Austin has been involved in motorcycle road racing for 5 years and has several championship titles

to his name. Not only is he an amazing road racer utilizing the ‘new school’ riding techniques, he is a great bilingual spokesperson and extremely mature for his age. Austin and his team are looking for partners who want to be part of a winning program as they compete at the highest level of road racing in North America, the AMA Pro Racing Series, in conjunction with competing in all the remaining rounds of the Qatar Superbike Championship. The team needs partners who can assist in covering the expenses of having team compete in these two series’, in exchange for measureable exposure for the Losail Circuit and QMMF. A branded QMMF team in North America who also competes in the Qatar Superbike Championship will allow the team to act as a conduit for young talented riders to get to the world championship level by taking part in events at your circuit.

For 2014, Austin is eager to get back overseas and work with his partners to build a long lasting partnership in motorsports. Austin has a history of podium finishes in the Canadian Superbike Championship. He has also completed overseas at arguably the highest level of motorcycle road racing, the Spanish Moto2 Championship. If other riders see Austin’s progression from North America to the Qatar series and on to the Spanish Championship or World Championship this program could secure additional revenue for many years to come.
