The Indy Racing League and Marathon Coach, the motor
coach of choice of many race teams, drivers and corporations, have announced a
partnership that makes the Coburg, Ore.,-based converter of motorhomes and
corporate coaches the Official Motor Coach of the IRL IndyCar® Series.
The partnership includes Official Motor Coach status of the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway and the IRL's development series, the Menards Infiniti Pro Series.
Marathon Coach is the world's largest bus converter and represents the highest
quality, most luxurious bus conversions available in the world today. Marathon's
custom coaches contain all of the technology and conveniences needed to conduct
business or entertain guests at the racetrack.
"We are pleased to welcome Marathon Coach to the IRL family of partners," said
Ken Ungar, senior vice president, business affairs for the IRL. "The partnership
between our two companies is a natural since we both offer leading-edge and
innovative products."
Marathon conversions are primarily built on Prevost 45-foot bus chassis. Prevost
"LeMirage" and "H3-45" chassis, powered by Detroit Diesel Series 60 515
horsepower engines, provide the highest level of reliability and durability that
coach owners desire.
Marathon's coaches present owners with all of the amenities found in a custom
designed, luxury home. Marathon coaches feature plasma and LCD televisions with
in-motion satellite television, satellite radio and Internet reception. When
it's time to entertain, spacious galleys and advanced audio/visual systems make
the coach a lavish hospitality suite. Exterior hospitality tents and underbelly
audio/visual systems allow for extended entertaining.
The retail prices for new coaches range from $1,400,000 to more than $2,000,000.
High quality pre-owned coaches are also available starting at $200,000.
