Championship organisers have welcomed Lucas Oil Products UK as the official and exclusive lubricant and additive partner for the Time Attack, Motorsport UK Drift Pro and Racing Hondas Championships.
The partnership was confirmed in time for the first event of the 2023 calendar, which took place at Lincolnshire’s Cadwell Park (30 April-1 May).
Introduced in 2006, the UK Time Attack Championship challenges drivers to race against the clock – and then do it again. It claims it is one of the largest and most professional racing series of its kind in the world.
The Motorsport UK Drift Pro Championship leads the way in providing a fresh sporting platform for Drifting – which is said to be one of the UK’s fastest growing motor racing disciplines – one that rewards team and driver performance, while surpassing expectations for all involved.
The Racing Hondas Championship – a recent development for 2023 –accommodates all Honda race cars fitted with the manufacturer’s VTEC engine. The calendar features 14 rounds held over the same six weekends as the Time Attack and Motorsport UK Drift Pro Championships.
Lucas Oil is the latest addition to a line up of event supporting partners. The US brand claims to be one of the world’s largest manufacturers of lubricants and additives. It is involved with successful motorsport events in America and around the world through vehicle sponsorships and racing event promotions.
The support ranges from grass roots to professional racing levels. Lucas Oil is also a supplier of high-performance engine and gear oils that it argues are second-to-none in the racing industry.
“The Time Attack Championship and its associated championships provide Lucas Oil with a terrific opportunity to increase its involvement in UK motor racing . Events such as these can play a big part in the company’s promotional drive and publicity activities and will increase our exposure to the performance tuning aftermarket,” says Dan Morgan, Director of Sales and Operations for Lucas Oil Products UK.
In response, director of the Time Attack Organisation and rights-holder for all three of its championships Andy Barnes said:
“We’re delighted to have Lucas Oil Products with us as a championship partner. We are confident we can build a strong relationship that will help Lucas achieve its promotional goals via our high profile and multi-discipline on-track motorsport activities and our hugely popular and well-attended series of car shows. We look forward to a long and successful partnership.”
