/in , /by

Sunoco is pleased to announce that it will become the official fuel supplier of both Ginetta Cars’ GT5 Challenge and G40 Cup race series from the 2019 season onwards.

As the largest manufacturer and refiner of racing fuels in the world, Sunoco is a brand which is trusted across the globe, supplying products to a wide variety of championships.

Leading British race car manufacturer Ginetta not only sells its cars around the world but provides a genuine pathway for drivers’ progression across its successful single-make UK racing series. The G40 Cup series is aimed at drivers who have recently shed their novice crosses, while the Ginetta GT5 Challenge is one of the largest on its roster.

Both series will also become eligible for the prestigious Sunoco 240 Challenge, meaning that drivers from a record 11 race series across the United Kingdom and Europe will be battling for a drive in the four-hour BMW Endurance Challenge race at Daytona International Speedway ahead of the 2020 Rolex 24.

Anders Hildebrand, founder, Anglo American Oil Company Ltd

“I am delighted that Ginetta has selected Sunoco race fuels as the official supplier for its G40 Cup and GT5 Challenge. Both are strong race series which feature close racing and exciting battles on track and both are eligible for the fantastic Sunoco 240 Challenge.

“With two more closely-fought race series being added to those participating in the 2019 Sunoco 240 Challenge, it will be one of the most exciting battles for a spot in the BMW Endurance Challenge race that we have witnessed in the eight years it has been running.”

Ash Gallagher, Motorsports Manager, Ginetta Cars

“Sunoco is a world-leading racing fuel company and Ginetta is delighted that it will bring its excellence and quality as it supplies the successful GT5 Challenge and G40 Cup series.

“With its track record across the world it was a simple choice to work with Sunoco and an added bonus that drivers in both series will be eligible for a drive at Daytona International Speedway in 2020.

“With drivers in both series already competing on a number of iconic circuits as part of two of the country’s biggest race packages as well as enjoying a trip Zandvoort in July, there is now this added incentive for success on track this season.”
