Sunoco race fuels have been appointed by British Superbike Championship (BSB) rights holders MSVR to supply the fuel for the most prestigious domestic motorcycle series for the next five years.

Sunoco race fuels have also become the title sponsor of the British 125GP Championship, where some of the country's youngest up and coming riders are discovered.

For decades Sunoco fuels have been associated with racing excellence as the largest manufacturer and refiner of racing fuels in the world and have a 40-year track record of winning performances. In addition to BSB, Sunoco race fuels are also the choice in the UK for the British F3 & GT Championships, British Rally Championship, Britcar and many other national car racing series. In the USA Sunoco powers AMA Pro Racing, NASCAR, IndyCar and GrandAm Series.

Anglo American Oil Company (AAOC) is the European and Middle East distributor for Sunoco race fuel and will be handling all distribution and logistics.

Sunoco are thrilled to be expanding into the UK motorcycle market. Rob Marro, Sunoco General Manager of Performance Products and Automotive Events said: "We are extremely proud of being selected as the official fuel supplier for the BSB. We look forward to playing an integral role as BSB continues to establish itself as the most prestigious domestic motorcycle series in Europe. The title sponsorship of the British 125 Grand Prix class is a designation that fits nicely with the long standing practices at Sunoco to work closely with the young rising stars of tomorrow. We were appointed the official fuel of AMA Pro Road Racing in 2008 and it has proven to be a great partnership for Sunoco Race Fuels and motorcycle racing across the USA."

Anders Hildebrand, Managing director of AAOC added: "We're very excited about being given the opportunity to work with BSB as their official fuel supplier. Sunoco has a great relationship with AMA in the states and we will be pulling out all the stops to make this opportunity a success. We are passionate about motorsport and are looking forward to the opportunity to expand into the adrenalin fuelled world of motorcycle racing."

BSB Series Director Stuart Higgs concluded: "Sunoco products are highly regarded in many other motorsport disciplines. I'm delighted that BSB will be the first major motorcycle racing championship outside of the USA to exclusively use Sunoco race fuels."

Sunoco will supply three types of race fuel to meet the different demands and characteristics of all the British and National Championships.
