Full
Tilt Poker sign sponsor deal with Formula 1 team -
7th May 2010
Full Tilt Poker just announced they have signed a
sponsor deal with the Formula 1 racing team Virgin
Racing. The deal will already be in effect this weekend
at the Spanish Formula 1 Grand Prix at Barcelona’s
Circuit de Catalunya, where the drivers from Virgin
Racing will be wearing the Full Tilt Poker logo.
Consequently
fans of Timo Glock and Lucas di Grassi can look forward
to see the two team Virgin Racing drivers wearing
the Full Tilt Poker brand, which will also be present
on the drivers’ cars and other team material
from Virgin Racing team.
According
to both brands the deal concludes a long term discussion
dating back to Virgin Racing’s birth in Formula
1 last November. In their joint press release yesterday
both Team Full Tilt member, Chris Ferguson, and Virgin
Racing chief executive officer, Graeme Lowdon, expressed
great excitement about the new partnership and looked
forward to launching their cooperation this weekend
in Spain.
Although
the partnership between Full Tilt and Virgin Racing
was seemingly long underway, it has likely been speed
up as part of the more long term strategy from Full
Tilt Poker, who has increased its marketing effort
in Europe over last months in light of the increasing
competition from rivals PokerStars and Party Poker
over the European market.
Conveniently
for Full Tilt Poker the deal came just shortly after
Party Poker also signed with Toro Rosso’s driver
Jaime Alguersuari and former Formula 1 driver Giancarlo
Fisichela. A signing, which was part of a more aggressive
strategy from Party Poker, in light of the increased
competition and losses in revenue on the European
poker market recently.
Interestingly
enough Full Tilt Poker has chosen to launch their
Partnership with Virgin Racing on same date Party
Poker chose to launch their new sponsorship with Alguersuari.
Party Poker even offers their players a chance to
win tickets for the Valencia Grand Prix through their
poker room, which might be turn out to be free marketing
for Full Tilt Poker in the end.
Virgin
Racing is a Formula One racing team, which made its
debut in the 2010 Formula One season. They were granted
entry as Manor Grand Prix on 12 June 2009, as one
of four new teams selected to race in the 2010 season.
On 30 November, the FIA released a revised entry list
that stated the team's name as Virgin Racing. Richard
Branson's Virgin Group is the title sponsor of the
team, which was launched on 15 December 2009.
History
Formation
The team was formed as Manor Grand Prix as a tie-up
between Manor Motorsport and Wirth Research. Initially,
Virgin's Alex Tai was the Team Principal, while Graeme
Lowden was the team's Director of Racing. Manor Motorsport
boss John Booth was the Sporting Director, while former
Simtek team owner Nick Wirth was the technical director.
Less than one month after the Virgin partnership was
officially launched, Tai left his position and Booth
took over as team principal, with Lowden becoming
the CEO. The team will use engines supplied by Cosworth.
Manor Motorsport are best known as a Formula Three
team, currently running in the Formula Three Euroseries,
and helped launch the careers of World Champions Kimi
Räikkönen and Lewis Hamilton. Car preparation
and racing operations will be run from its headquarters
in Dinnington, South Yorkshire, while Wirth Research
will design, develop and build the cars from its base
in Bicester.
The
teams also have plans to create a "Driver Academy",
a series of racing teams starting in the new GP3 Series
and advancing all the way up to Formula One.

2010 Formula One season
Timo
Glock testing the Virgin VR-01 during pre-season testing
in Jerez, in February 2010.
Virgin's
car for 2010, the VR-01, is the first F1 car designed
entirely using CFD computer simulation technology.
It was later discovered that the Virgin VR-01's fuel
tank is too small, resulting in them not being able
to finish any races unless the cars are driven at
a reduced pace to conserve fuel. The team has been
given the opportunity to redesign the chassis. On
17 November 2009 it was announced by the team that
former Toyota driver Timo Glock would be the team's
lead driver for the 2010 season. The driver was signed
for two years and has a one year extension offer as
well. Long-time Brazilian GP2 regular Lucas di Grassi
will join him, while fellow former GP2 driver Luiz
Razia will fulfil testing and reserve duties. Álvaro
Parente was also signed as a test driver, but left
the team prior to the launch of the VR-01. The 2010
car was officially launched on their website on 3
February 2010, before running the car at a private
event at Silverstone the following two days.
Sponsorship
Virgin purchased eighty percent of the team, as part
of sponsorship arrangement. The official FIA entry
list for 2010 announced on 30 November 2009 showed
that Manor GP had been entered as Virgin Racing. The
team's partners for 2010 include tyre supplier Bridgestone,
IT services company UST Global, environmental technology
company Carbon Green, shampoo brand Clear, information
technology firm CSC, foreign exchange traders FxPro,
clothing company Kappa, the Oxigen investment group
and Russian sports car manufacturer Marussia. On 13
January 2010, reports emerged revealing that Virgin
had paid an extra one and a half million pounds to
Cosworth to have the CA2010 unit rebranded as a Marussia,
though both Virgin Racing and Cosworth have denied
the story.
On
14 December 2009, Lloyds Banking Group announced that
it had invested ten million pounds in the team, reversing
the recent trend of financial institutions such as
ING and RBS withdrawing sponsorship. However, it remains
unclear as to whether or not the Lloyds logo will
appear on the cars. (Credit:

Poker is all about value. Apologies for the marketing
speak but we've tried to pack as much extra value
into the great game of poker as possible.
That
naturally means freerolls and decent guaranteed
tournaments (without the whole world in them)
but it also means V*POINTS.
V*POINTS
are unique to Virgin Poker and players earn them
for every cash hand played on both tournament
and cash tables. Whether you win or lose you,
every time you play a hand you earn V*POINTS.
Simple. Players can then exchange V*POINTS for
lots of Virgin extras. That's Virgin Atlantic
Flying Club miles, Virgin Vouchers that can be
spent on a variety of things from mobile top-ups
to digital downloads, and of course Virgin Poker
cash for the tables.
You'll
find plenty of action day or night from a range
of games including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Stud
and 5 Card Draw. The call centre is 24/7 and there's
manager chat for any queries players might have.
Tournaments
run regularly and new players will find a daily
$50 freeroll as well as a 100,000 V*POINT freeroll
every Sunday. There's a full selection of Multi
Table tournaments including a weekly $25,000 guaranteed,
a monthly $100,000 guaranteed tournament and satellites
for all major events including the EPT and WPT.
Naturally
there's also free play on offer at Virgin Poker
but with games starting from 5 cents and a weekly
100,000 V*POINTS freeroll we think you'll get
a taste for the real thing pretty quickly.
Get into our game.
