FUCHS UK join Toyota Gazoo Racing as official race team lubricant supplier for 2023 season
FUCHS LUBRICANTS (UK) plc is delighted to announce a new partnership with Toyota Gazoo Racing UK ahead of the 2023 Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) which launches into action at the Official Season Launch on 12th April at the Kent circuit of Brands Hatch.
The Partnership will bring great exposure through the TV reach and media platforms of the championship although the initial focus will be on the development of engine and transmission oils to maximise the performance of the team’s 3 racing Toyota Corollas.
Following a successful 2022 campaign, the team has been working hard in the off-season, with sights firmly set on success and the highly competitive nature of the BTCC, means that any opportunity to improve performance and efficiency will support the ambition to win the championship!
The team have confirmed they will move to 3 cars this year with drivers Rory Butcher who finished 5th in 2022, Ricky Collard who has shown great improvement and team newcomer George Gamble who enjoyed a great rookie season last year completing the strong trio.
John Mosley, FUCHS LUBRICANTS (UK) plc Marketing Manager, "FUCHS has a long global history within motorsport in various disciplines and here in the UK we are proud to have been involved with leading BTCC and rally teams for many years. We look forward to working closely with the Toyota Gazoo Racing UK team, using their performance data to keep them on the track whilst helping us develop the next generation of lubricants."
Christian Dick, Team Principal Toyota Gazoo Racing UK, "Fuchs is a world-renowned organisation with a strong heritage in the sport, its reputation for excellence is thoroughly well-deserved. We are all tremendously excited to embark upon our BTCC campaign together and look forward to carrying the FUCHS branding on our three Toyota Corollas over the coming season as its first-class lubricants continue to do the business underneath the bonnet.”
