Dear Mr. Cliffe,
Thank you for your interest in an Alpinestars Media Vest.
As our jackets are manufactured in limited quantities we distribute them
strictly to professional photographers who are either fully accredited
(with permanent season photography credentials) in certain international
motorsports championships where Alpinestars maintains an active
presence, or have a direct contractual/supply link with Alpinestars or
its media partners.
We will agree to supply Media Vests to full-time professional
photographers who can submit full season credentials in the following
Championships:
- FIA Formula 1 World Championship
- FIA World Rally Championship
- FIM MotoGP World Championship
- FIM World Superbike Championship
- FIM World MXGP Championship
- FIM World Trials Championship
- NASCAR Nextel Cup Series
- IRL Indycar Championship
- Champ Car World Series
- AMA MX/SX Championships
- AMA Superbike Championship
Once relevant and appropriate credentials are established we will agree
the supply of a jacket, via Alpinestars Racing Services, who attend the
Championships listed above. The jacket will be supplied directly at a
particular meeting/test/event upon presentation of the original personal
pass/letter of credential confirmation as supplied by the Championship
organizer/governing body.
We regret that, as a general rule, photographers jackets cannot be
supplied by mail.
If you have full Championship status photography credentials for the
Championships listed above, please submit a copy of your personal pass
(both sides), together with letter of credential confirmation provided
by the Championship organizer/governing body. The credentials MUST apply
to the year/season in which the request is being made.
We regret that we cannot accept applications for the jackets on the
basis of single event/part season accreditation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Alpinestars agrees to supply its Media Vests upon the requirements set
out above, free of charge, as a service to professional photographers.
We do so on the understanding that photographers abide by the
requirements stipulated by the Championship organizers/governing
authority at all times and where specific Championship photographic
vests are issued as part of, or, as a sign of accreditation, we ask
photographers to respect the rules governing the use of photographers
jackets at each event/venue as applicable.
Thank you again for your interest in Alpinestars and we look forward to
receiving appropriate credentials and full contact details in order to
proceed with your request.
Best Regards
