The WSBK Championship features production-based motorcycles with certain modifications. With all major OEMs benefitting from the technical support of the world’s leading plug brand, it comes as no surprise that NGK SPARK PLUG’s premium quality products have carried a number of teams to countless championship victories as, for example, five-time world champion Jonathan Rea and his KAWASAKI RACING TEAM WORLDSBK. Besides giving support to Kawasaki, the ignition and sensor specialist is technical partner of the official Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team and ARUBA.IT RACING - DUCATI.

SlashesWorld Rally Championship

From snow-packed forest tracks to rock-strewn mountain passes, the WRC is without a doubt the most challenging motorsport championship in the world. The extreme conditions prevailing there literally force drivers, cars and material to deliver peak performances. Five-time World Rally Championship winner Sébastien Ogier therefore relies on NGK spark plugs to give him a boost and a head start in these rough weather conditions. Besides M-SPORT FORD WORLD RALLY TEAM, Citroën Total World Rally Team also insists on the superior quality delivered by NGK products.

Dust, jumps and cool bikes: the Motocross World Championship (MXGP) is regarded as one of the physically most demanding challenges for athletes and one of the fastest growing motorsport championships in the world. NGK SPARK PLUG supports Monster Energy Kawasaki Racing Team. The championship is special in its kind, because the riders have two races at each event.

SlashesSpeedway World Championship

World-class speedway drivers Nicky Pedersen and Greg Hancock need no breaks for their extreme drifting. Along with their respective teams, they are both multiple World Champions and World Team Champions, trusting in NGK for many years. And for good reason: the 500cc bikes reach speeds of more than 70 mph with only one single fixed gear and no brakes, making reliable ignition technology essential.

SlashesTrial World Championship

Trial depends less on speed; it requires fine throttle, balance and machine control. NGK SPARK PLUG sponsored driver Toni Bou with his Repsol Honda Team dominates the TrialGP with an impressive 11 outdoor championships, combined with 11 indoor championships. The machines have evolved to become extremely lightweight, lack seating (they are designed to be ridden standing up) and have a short suspension.
