“We are very proud to be partnered with U-Earth, especially considering their bioreactor product [the AIRcel 70, which can be seen in the paddock on race days],” says Chris Frogatt, talking from the U-Store in central London. “It is helping us achieve our long-term goal of being carbon neutral and these bioreactors are helping us get closer to air purity.”

Sky Tempesta isn’t the first team in motorsport to have seen the benefits of ensuring that their paddock is a Pure Air Zone on race days with the likes of Suzuki managing to win the MotoGP championship after partnering with U-Earth. The merits of clean air in sport cannot be underestimated.

“Breathing fresh air… I feel like there is a real difference in your performance,” Chris continues, you feel much cleaner, more alive and more energetic.” This is certainly something that U-Earth strives to achieve with its biotech-powered commercial air purifiers, the innovative aspect of which is powered by nature.

“It’s a huge part of not only my personal life enjoyment but training as well.”

It is well known that U-Mask offers protection against contaminants and pathogens including viruses and bacteria, but there is another reason that the brand has proven so popular throughout motorsport - its style.

“We are very strict with our team guidelines and making sure that everybody does the necessary to stay safe,” adds Chris as he notes how proud he is of the customized U-Mask worn throughout Sky Tempesta Racing, “U-Mask is essential in allowing us to do that, and we feel a lot safer knowing that everyone wears them. [Also] it’s a cool mask to wear… For me, it certainly is the coolest looking.”
