Welcome Akkodis ASP, New Team Identity For Multi Championship-Winning GT Outfit

AKKA ASP Racing Team has announced a transition to a new team name, Akkodis ASP Racing Team.

Ahead of the start of the 2022 GT season and the first round of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe, 1-3 April 2022 at Imola, Italy, Akkodis joins the ASP Racing Team as Title Partner.

Akkodis is a newly combined tech company bringing together previous title sponsors AKKA & Modis.

Since 2015 ASP (Auto Sport Promotion), created by Jérôme Policand in 1999, has raced under the name “AKKA-ASP” as part of a title partnership with AKKA Technologies, a partnership that has seen many race wins and multiple championship victories.

The new partnership with Akkodis is set to be more than changing brand and colours. Akkodis will work with the ASP Racing Team on several IT & Engineering projects, such as aerodynamic and fluid dynamics, thermo mechanics, braking systems and communication tools, whilst using the race team backing to promote the values of performance and excellence common to both Akkodis and ASP.

Jérôme Policand, Team Owner & Manager, Akkodis ASP Racing Team, said: “We’re delighted to have Akkodis as our primary partner, bringing their best-in-class IT and engineering R&D expertise to the team. We’re really grateful for AKKA Technologies’ support over the past seven years in which time we’ve achieved 22 international and national titles, and 69 victories on the most daunting tracks in the world together. Today a new era begins, we’re hugely excited about this next chapter in our team’s history together with Akkodis.”

Jan Gupta, President of Akkodis, says: “We’ve brought 50,000 engineering and digital experts together from AKKA & Modis to form Akkodis, a new global leader in the Smart Industry field. Our expertise is helping organizations with their IT and engineering R&D to scale innovation, accelerate digital transformation and deliver solutions to engineer a smarter future. We very much look forward to race together, now as Akkodis ASP Team. Together we’ll harness our passion for technology and talent for success on and off the track.”

Akkodis is part of the Adecco Group.
