PM is the sponsor for the great Italian champion of the "Campionato Italiano Velocità Montagna" (CIVM - Italian Mountain Speed Championship), Simone Faggioli. Simone was born in Florence on July 24^th, 1978, and made his debut when he was five in micro-cross, a sport that he still continues to practice. At the age of 18, thanks to the passion of his father, Mario, also Italian Mountain Speed Champion, Simone officially debuts in the CIVM in 1998. With one victory after another, he reached second place in 2000, the same in 2001, until becoming Italian Mountain Speed Champion in 2002. In 2003 he, once again, reached the podium, and in 2004, notwithstanding the difficulties met caused by a new vehicle, he, yet again, gained a new CIVM victory.
