LONDON, June 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The Hertz Corporation (NYSE: HTZ), the world's largest general use car rental brand, has become the title sponsor of the 2012 British MotoGP, which will be held at Silverstone on 15-17 June.

The world-renowned MotoGP is an eighteen-race series visiting thirteen countries across four continents. The Hertz British Grand Prix edition of the MotoGP will see Britain's Cal Crutchlow and James Ellison battle it out with the likes of Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Casey Stoner for the winning title.
