The association with BMW ORACLE Racing has enhanced CMS's leading role in the racing field. The number of racing vehicles with composite parts being machined on CMS machining centres is steadily increasing with the company's growing presence in sports applications from racing bicycles to F1 car components.

Giulio Gasparini, CMS Area Manager, said in announcing the Official Supplier program: "Our machine's technical features, the price / performance ratio but also CMS company's soundness and reputation in the machining of composite materials, especially in racing applications, have been the key factors enabling CMS to win their competition with other suppliers. CMS stands by BMW ORACLE Racing ready to provide their products and support in order to win together.

"Tim Smyth, the co-construction manager of BMW ORACLE Racing, explains why the team has chosen the CMS machine: ""Americas Cup Yachts employ the latest technology in materials and construction processes. CNC produced tools and finished parts are one of the most significant advances in Yacht construction over the past decade and they
now play a crucial role in our build program. "To produce these components quickly and to preserve our design innovations it is important to posses your own CNC machines. We have used CMS machines extensively throughout the past two editions of the Americas Cup through the services of subcontractors, and based on their performance we choose CMS to supply our first machine in 2009."
