“Our partnership with Sasol heralds the dawn of the new era of Volkswagen’s involvement in motorsport in South Africa. In Sasol, we have a partner that is very passionate about motorsport just as we are at Volkswagen,” says David Powels, Managing Director of Volkswagen Group South Africa. “Volkswagen Group is now fully involved in the world of rallying and recently we finished second in our debut World Rally Championship in Monte Carlo. “Volkswagen South Africa has benefited from the Group’s involvement in rallying and we have also forged strong relationships with German colleagues over the past 12 months. “We are confident that this relationship will serve our team well in the 2013 rally championship in South Africa”, adds Powels. This season will see the Volkswagen Sasolracing team field three S2000 entries and a S2000 Challenge entry in the eight round national championship. “Sasol and Volkswagen’s partnership will make for an exciting season,” says Alan Cameron, Managing Director of Sasol Oil. “The partnership is a strong strategic fit, leveraging the two leading companies’ respective product innovation and technical superiority capabilities. “This association will be beneficial for both companies and for the fans who will witness exhilarating performance. It will also create an experiential platform for our customers to engage and connect with the Sasol brand through our products. ” “Sasol is the only fuel and oil company in South Africa with the technical expertise to undertake world-class research and development. “This allows us to incorporate our motor racing partners into our research and development programmes on fuels and lubricants,” adds Cameron. Mike Rowe, Head of Volkswagen Motorsport says, “Our team is enthusiastic about the coming rally season and is looking forward to competing in Sasol colours.” KwaZulu-Natal hosts the first round of the season on Friday and Saturday, 8 and 9 March.
