Petron is official Fuel and Engine Oil for 2017 FORMULA 4 South East Asia

The Formula 4 South East Asia (F4SEA) Championship organizers have tapped Petron Corporation as the official fuel and engine oil of the full 2017 season. Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 is a 100-octane pure gasoline formulation with superior qualities which make it the best fuel for the highly competitive F4SEA Championship delivering powerful engine performance, acceleration, improved combustion, improved fuel efficiency, significantly reduced harmful emissions, and cleaner engines. Petron Blaze Racing is a fully-synthetic high-performance oil containing the Thermal Stress Stabilizing System (TS3) which helps reduce engine stress even at the high temperatures demanded by competition racing, excellent performance on thermal stability and engine cleanliness.

Petron Corporation President and CEO Ramon S. Ang, an avid motorsports enthusiast noted, “We are proud to fuel the 2017 Formula 4 South East Asia Championship and welcome this opportunity to show how our proudly Philippine-made Petron Blaze 100 Euro 6 gasoline and Petron Blaze Racing engine oil meet the severe demands of international competitive racing. We hope that the young Formula 4 drivers will appreciate the performance advantages of our world-class products.”

Promoted by the Asian Autosport Action (AAA) group headed by Peter Thompson, F4SEA offers a cost-effective first step to an FIA-certified career ladder in formula racing. The F4SEA program focuses on driver experience and development by ensuring a level playing field in a one-make FIA single-operator championship using FIA-F4 homologated racecars and engines. All drivers have access to race and engine data, and learn from race engineers and coaches, so winning is based on race craft and not performance aids. Meritus GP provides race engineering services supported by race engineers, winning driver coaches, and professional technicians and mechanics.

 

The 30-race F4SEA 2017 Championship starts off with 6 support races at the Formula 1 Petronas Malaysia Grand Prix in Sepang, Malaysia, on September 29 to October 1. The second leg then moves to the Clark International Speedway in the Philippines from October 20 to 22, followed by the third leg at Sentul, Indonesia on November 24 to 26.
