(1888PressRelease) March 05, 2011 - IT provider, Blue Chip, is celebrating its fifth year as Technology Sponsor for two world-class racing teams at the pinnacle of their sport; the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP and the Crescent Racing British Superbike (BSB) teams.

Blue Chip managing director, Richard Cook, said: "Our relationship with Crescent - the business behind the teams - has become very close over the last five years, since providing both the business and the racing teams with IT infrastructure and genuine 24/7 support they need here in the UK, or on the other side of the world, has always been very 'hands on'.

"Of course, with hardware and a system that is constantly on the move with the teams, there is always the risk of damage or a loss of connectivity. While this is extremely rare, our 24/7 support has ensured our dedicated Senior Technical Engineer has been able to work via remote access at any time of the day or night, and track-side when appropriate."

Paul Denning, Rizla Suzuki Team Manager, said: "With tight racing schedules, there is no room for down time or lost access to our data, especially for the MotoGP team moving from country to country. Ensuring connectivity and accessibility to data as soon as we reach our next destination is critical for the guys who need the technology for the racing set up at each individual track, and of course we need it for our internal and external communications.

"There's already a lot to think about logistically during the racing season, so knowing that we don't have to give our IT a second thought, and that the around-the-clock support is there regardless of the time zones we're operating in is a fundamental for us. And we like the fact that the same person at Blue Chip has looked after our systems for the last five years, which means he knows our system and us, extremely well. This has been a partnership that has blossomed over the years and one that we look forward to continuing in the future."
