SAHARA FORCE INDIA WELCOMES VARLION STYLE

Sahara Force India Formula One Team announced that Varlion, the Madrid-based fashion brand, has joined the team as Official Lifestyle Partner as part of a multi-year deal. The partnership will see Varlion produce a licensed range of leisure products to be available through the team’s recently launched E-shop. Varlion will also focus on developing a fresh concept for the team’s trackside clothing to be introduced from the 2014 season onwards. The Varlion logo will be visible from this weekend’s British Grand Prix with branding on the garage panels, transporters and team marketing materials. From 2014 the logo will be on team’s race cars, as well as on the uniforms of team personnel.
