2 yearss ago

(Ridgefield, Ct; October 13, 2010)  PILLA High Performance Eyewear, featuring cutting-edge materials with superior clarity and visual enhancement, was the eyewear of choice for Highcroft Racing in their dominant LMP2 victory at last week’s Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.    David Brabham, Simon Pagenaud and Marion Franchitti combined for Hichcroft’s second consecutive team’s crown.

 

"I would like to congratulate Highcroft for their outstanding victory not only in Atlanta but for their success through a tough and grueling season," said Philip Pilla, Chief Executive Officer of PILLA High Performance Eyewear.  "We are proud that Highcroft has partnered with PILLA to utilize our revolutionary Ballistx lens technology to help them with enhanced visual clarity and reduced eye fatigue, creating a distinct competitive advantage for Highcroft,” stated Pilla.   The results are evident with Highcroft accumulating four victories while finishing on the podium in every single race in the 2010 season.

 

“Obviously vision is a pretty critical aspect for a racing driver,” said Duncan Dayton, Highcroft president.   “PILLA’s technology has proven to be a huge advantage for us in racing, which requires split second responses to visual cues-all at 175 mph-is one of the most visually demanding sports.  Because of PILLA Eyewear, our drivers were able to stay focused and alert during the 1000 mile journey, often during difficult conditions.  We consider our PILLA Eyewear to be a valuable piece of our racing equipment.”

 

The Highcroft Racing team also enjoyed the advantages of PILLA technology during pit stops.  “For the guys, it is a safety and vision consideration.  PILLA eyewear is extremely safe and can also make a big difference in critical situations.  If you drop a wheel nut, any delay in finding it and getting the stop completed is critical,” Dayton added.

 

"We are very excited about our entire line of PILLA High Performance Eyewear, which features more technological advancements than any other product in the industry," said Pilla.  "Our patented Ballistx technology produces a high definition lens that is anti-scratch and dust resistant, providing superior visual accuracy without compromising comfort.  Because our glasses are designed for athletes by athletes, the performance gain of PILLA glasses is unmatched."
