Fuchs Lubricants Confirms Sponsorship of the 2014 V8 Supertourers

Fuchs Lubricants NZ has been confirmed as a series partner for the upcoming season of the BNT V8 SuperTourers, headline act of the Hankook Super Series, which runs seven rounds across the country in 2014.

The partnership incorporates the naming rights for round one at Highlands Motorsport Park next weekend, the Fuchs 250, and round 7, the Fuchs 500, at Pukekohe in November.

Fuchs Lubricants NZ is part of the wholly owned Australian subsidiary. The global brand is the world’s largest independent manufacturer and supplier of lubricants, providing specialist lubricant solutions for the Automotive, Industrial, Agricultural, Food Grade and Forestry sectors, to name a few.

General Manager Sales & Marketing for V8 SuperTourers Mike Marsden says that the V8 SuperTourers have come a long way in two years and this sponsorship further reinforces how attractive the series has become to major corporates who are looking for valuable strategic partnerships.

“We are thrilled to have Fuchs on board as a major sponsor and believe that the Series is a perfect fit for them. Fuchs definitely see the value in aligning its brand with the BNT V8 SuperTourers, the key factors being the target demographic that V8 SuperTourers deliver, brand awareness, media, key client entertainment and audience reach via our broadcaster TV3,” says Mr Marsden.

Bevan Killian, Commercial Sales Manager of Fuchs Lubricants NZ, says that in supporting the V8 SuperTourers, Fuchs Lubricants can again prove their products in one of New Zealand’s most competitive motorsport environments.

“It’s a great opportunity for us to not only showcase Fuchs Lubricants as the leading independent lubricant manufacturer but to also show our support for NZ Motorsport. We believe it’s a fantastic time for us to get in amongst the people that are as passionate about Motorsport and the V8 SuperTourers as we are. I look forward to seeing everybody at the track enjoying this motorsport series,” says Mr Killian.

The competition is into its third season and is attracting a large number of big name drivers from New Zealand and Australia. 

The V8 SuperTourers will kick off the first round at Highlands Motorsport Park in Cromwell on January 25th and 26th.
