Cologne, April 2008
"Pit stop for your photos!" is the motto with which Pixum combines motor sports and digital photography.
On Sunday, 13 April 2008, the 2008 season began for Deutsche Tourenwagen-Masters (DTM), one of the most popular and top-class touring car race series. With the slogan "The pit stop for your photos!", Pixum, one of the leading online photo service providers within Europe, is brand-new main sponsor of the new Pixum AMG Mercedes Team. The vehicle, the racing edition of the Mercedes C-Class, is driven by Mathias Lauda, the son of the triple Formula 1 World Champion Niki Lauda.
The DTM race car will take off in the Pixum colours cyan and orange and the team clothing and team trucks will represent Pixum's Corporate Design throughout Germany and Europe as well.
The DTM starter field 2008 consists of 19 vehicles. The eleven races will take place on six German and five European race courses, in England, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Spain. Start of this season is 13 April, the final is on 26 October, both at Hockenheim Race Course.
"We are happy to have found Pixum as a young and successful company from the Internet business as a sponsoring partner" says Norbert Haug, Head of Motorsport at Mercedes.
"Speed, dynamics and quality are the most important variables at DTM. All of which are values that our customers also appreciate at Pixum. Our photo products are delivered fast and in high quality and the Internet is one of the most dynamic marketplaces existing: The DTM and Pixum are simply a perfect match" is the comment by Pixum founder and CEO Daniel Attallah on the commitment.
