Tesco signs up for two more years with BRC
6th October 2006
The UK based supermarket chain Tesco has confirmed that its title sponsorship of the MSA British Rally Championship will continue for a further two seasons following on from the successful introduction of biofuel blend Tesco 99 Octane as the control fuel for the 2006 championship.
The BRC was the first motorsport championship in the world to adopt a control fuel with bio-ethanol content, with Tesco 99 Octane, developed by leading independent fuel producer Greenergy Fuels, chosen not only for its power potential, but also because of its reputation as one of the cleanest motorsport fuels on the market.
British Rally Championship manager Mark Taylor said, "The announcement that Tesco, Britain's biggest retailer, is continuing its association with Britain's most exciting and dynamic motorsport championship is further evidence of the growth and success of the six-round championship which encompasses the best rallies of the British Isles."
Tesco category manager Peter Cattell said, "It's fantastic to see the UK's top rally drivers racing on Tesco 99 Octane. We're sure they are enjoying the fuel as much as the many thousands of customers who fill up with it at our stores every week."
