King Signs New Engine Deal With MAXX Motorsports
Mon 30 Apr, 1:22 PM

MAXX Motorsports announced earlier this morning that it has executed a new engine deal with the 2005 Tri-C Senior Sportsman Novice World Champion, Alex King. Speculations intensified last week after King paid a visit to MAXX's headquarter in Huntington Beach, California. The MakLaren pilot appeared optimistic for Round 4 of the world championship as he will powered by MAXX for the first time in his career:

"I have had an on and off relationship with MAXX but never an official one. When I won my first world title back in 2005, I was under contract with Woltjer Engines, but MAXX was still very supportive and provided technical feedback that I found crucial in allowing me to win the championship that year. I am glad that we had the opportunity to close this deal. I have a lot of confidence in the engineers employed by MAXX Motorsports and I think this new engine will give me the boost I need to fight this year in TAG MASTERS."

Neither party disclosed the terms of the latest contract but many suspects that King was not willing to sign a long term contract with any engine supplier.

"Contractual issues are of second degree of importance" Brian Phillipsen, Chief Engineer of MAXX Motorsports told reporters earlier today. "Our goal is to make sure that King has the best possible power plant available. I remember very well when I first saw him racing back in 2005. He was very smooth and he dominated that year. We are certain here at MAXX Motorsports that King will be competitive again and this time at TAG MASTERS and this time he will be powered by MAXX."

MakLaren has yet to confirm a test date to prepare for Round 4 of Tri-C TAG MASTERS World Championship on Saturday, May 12th.
