Anglo American Oil
Company Ltd
Celebrating 15 years of trading
Product catalogue 2014
Specialist supplier of racing fuels and oils
Products for racers from racers
W
hen we started the company 15 years ago, I
could not have imagined where we would be
today. Anglo American Oil Company is still a
family owned business that represents some
of the greatest racing brands in the world. Sunoco, with its
established name and history, is the largest manufacturer
of race fuels in the world. Driven Racing Oil, which has only
been on the market for 10 years, has grown to be the “must
have” oil for racing amongst those who understand oils and
want to reach the finishing line, all the time, every time. Last
year we added Kleers motorsport range to our portfolio, and
as with every product that we introduce, we strongly believe
that they fit our business objectives, whilst also adding
something extra for our customers.
When the company was formed I was racing in the Renault
Spider Championship and although I never had the
opportunity to be a professional racer, I enjoyed it so much
so that I decided to make a living out of my passion. I also
wanted to give a chance to racers that may not have had
enough funds to race on a professional level an opportunity
to compete. It took over 10 years before we could action
what is now known today as the Sunoco Daytona
Challenges. The success of the recent Sunoco Challenges
has been proved with two young racers, Bradley Smith and
Lewis Plato from Billericay in Essex. Racing for Bradley’s
family run Mectech racing team, they did the impossible,
with Bradley winning the 2014 Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona
Challenge and Lewis winning the Sunoco IMSA 200
Challenge, both having raced Radical sports cars to win! We
wish them both good luck in Daytona, maybe this will be
the year when they both step onto the top of the podium?

Sunoco
For decades, Sunoco’s fuels have been associated with racing
excellence. Since the mid–60s, when Sunoco and the Roger Penske
Racing Team with Mark Donahue forged what would be a long
and successful alliance, the company has grown into an industry
powerhouse.
Today, Sunoco has expanded the reach of its racing fuels line
around the world to include all types of professional motor sports
and other activities where premium racing fuels make a difference.
As the largest manufacturer and refiner of racing fuels in the world,
Sunoco has a 40–year track record of winning performances.
With an expanded product line, Sunoco offers drivers more
choices than ever before. Sunoco blends everyone of its race
fuels in–house, then, it analyses and tests each batch under strict
laboratory conditions. This ensures that you receive a reliable,
high-quality racing gasoline every time.

IMSA Explained
Autosport & Sunoco Daytona Trip
IMSA explained
Built 1958, 3.56
miles road course,
31 degree banking,
total infield area
180 acres
With IMSA, the International Motor Sports Association has a long history as the
premier sanctioning body for sports car competition in North America and was
founded in 1969 by John Bishop with the assistance of NASCAR president Bill France
Sr. The first IMSA sanctioned race grew into the series that became known at the
IMSA GT series, adding prototype sports cars in the 1980s which proved a huge
success through the years.
The GRAND-AM Road racing association ran 14 exciting seasons of sports car competition in North America, with a radical step in 2003
where it introduced the Daytona Prototype as its lead class. We also saw the ALMS racing, from 1999, building a loyal group of followers.
Whilst both series were successful on their own, it became apparent that they would need to combine in order to grow the sport. In
September 2012 the two groups announced they would merge into one organization, to begin in the 2014 season, and that the unified
series would be sanctioned by IMSA. It is hoping thisnew exciting chapter will provide an even better experience for sports car enthusiasts.
IMSA’s TUDOR United SportsCar Championship opens with a pair of historic events – the Rolex 24 At Daytona and Mobil 1 Twelve
Hours of Sebring fueled by Fresh from Florida – building on the vision of John Bishop and Bill France Sr. from 45 years ago.
Tudor United SportsCar Championship
Prototype Class (P)
The P class combines GRAND-AM Daytona Prototypes, ALMS P2
and DeltaWing cars. The Prototype class features the fastest and most
technologically advanced cars in North America, capable of speeds in
excess of 200 mph.
Prototype Challenge Class (PC)
This is retained from the current ALMS class structure, the PC is a
spec class featuring open top race cars and technology such as carbon
fiber chassis, carbon brakes and a sequential gearbox.
GT Le Mans (GTLM)
Consisting of the current ALMS Grand Touring (GT) class, GT Le
Mans machines are the most elite and fastest GT cars on the track,
but are still based on production models. A true proving ground for
leading manufacturers, GTLM cars are capable of speeds in excess of
180 mph.
Bradley Smith is the overall season winner who will take part in the
Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge, provided by Daytona and
promoted by Anglo American Oil Company. Last year Ivan Bellarosa
was our overall 2012 season winner.
Three years ago we introduced the Sunoco GRAND-AM
Challenge for the rest of our control fuel championships, with
Bradleys team mate, Lewis Plato, winning the seat this year in the
200 mile challenge in a Chevrolet Camaro, so needless to say we are
hoping for an exciting weekend!
GT Daytona (GTD)
Consisting of current GRAND-AM GT, GX and ALMS GTC classes,
GT Daytona race cars are the second fastest of the GT classes and are
enhanced (but not defined by) technology.
Additional IMSA Classes
Continental Tire Sportscar Challenge
Racing at the same race weekends as the Tudor series and divided
into Grand Sport (GS) and Street Tuner (ST) based on engine size

What else would you be doing in January?
To fight the cold and wet weather of Northern Europe, what could
be better than visiting Florida to attend the Rolex 24 At Daytona?
It is not only on the most exciting races we have been to, where you
can spot some of your favourite stars of the racing world, but it also
gives you the chance to see cars finishing within a fraction of second
of each other, soaking up thewarm Florida sunshine, recharging
your batteries and enjoy the atmosphere of such an historic event, in
preparation for the European racing season in April.
The Sunoco Challenge
For the last 5 years the Sunoco Daytona Challenge has been
introducing a winner from our top Sunoco fuelled championships
into the highest level of American Sports car racing and awarding
them a seat in a Daytona Prototype by giving them the chance of a
lifetime to showcase their skills in front of a crowd of over
50,000 people.

Sports fans can only dream of standing in the huddle at a
professional football game or sitting in a Major League Baseball
dugout. Yet in sports car racing, the spectators become part of the
action throughout an event weekend, right up until the green flag
waves to start the competition!
Going to the Rolex 24 At Daytona is easier than what you think.
Virgin Atlantic flies from Gatwick or Manchester to Orlando from
around £450, you can then pick up the hire car from £120, and
then just drive for 75 minutes and you too could be on the famous
Daytona Beach! We also recommend Fountain Beach hotel, situated
on the beach and is around 10 minutes from the Speedway, for
around £55 per night (2 sharing), including breakfast.
We have organised a ticket package, which includes in-field
tickets, garage access, a behind the scenes tour of the facilities, a
welcome breakfast and beer and pizza evening – all for only £98!

Daytona Challenge
2013 final standings
Bradley Smith 115.71pts
5 years of success proved that once in a lifetime opportunities do exist –
Radical SR3 Challenge Champion Bradley Smith proved his worth in 2013
Bradley Smith convincingly won the Radical SR3 Challenge in 2013
in only his second full year of car racing and in doing so also secured
enough average points to smash the opposition in the 2014 Sunoco
Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge. Bradley, our 5th winner, will take to
the wheel of a Daytona Prototype at the 2014 Rolex 24 At Daytona
in the first ever IMSA race where ALMS and GRAND-AM race on a
merged grid.
Bradley, from Billericay in Essex, England, first started racing
karts at the age of eight where he always had dad Mike as the
engineer, the team manager and coach on his side. After Super One
they ventured out in Europe for several years to hone Bradley’s
technical skills and race craft before returning home to buy a Radical
SR3 for the 2012 season. Naturally Bradley was run by the family
team, Mectech Motorsport, which resulted in Bradley winning the
2012 Radical Clubman’s Cup before moving up to what has become
one of the most fiercely contested one make sports prototype
championships in the world - the Radical SR3 Challenge! Bradley
squashed the lap record at the first Snetterton race and continued his
winning pace throughout the season winning 12 out of 14 races (the
two he didn’t win were interrupted by safety cars which hampered
his progress through the field after the mandatory pit stops), with
numerous fastest laps and pole positions won against some of the
fastest pro-drivers today.
The Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge has tickled the
imagination of nearly 400 racers that have challenged each other
over the last 5 years including stars such as Daniel Ricciardo (second
in 2010), Jean-Eric Vergne (second in 2011), Felipe Nasr (won
in 2011), the late Allan Simonsen and Nick Tandy but also over

200 amateur racers from all over Europe.The Sunoco Rolex 24 At
Daytona Challenge is provided by Daytona and promoted by Anglo
American Oil Company and in 2013 was available for racers in the
Radical SR3 Challenge, the Radical European Masters and the MSA
British Endurance Championship.
The Prize consists of 2 exclusive test days at Daytona, 3 test days
at the Roar before the Rolex 24 and of course the big race itself - the
mighty 2014 Rolex 24 At Daytona. Included in the prize are also all
flights, hotel plus a dedicated Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona race suit.
Bradley will race a Daytona Prototype for one of the big teams, with
the great opportunity to step on to the top of the podium and bring
home the much coveted Rolex Daytona watch.

Sunoco 200 Challenge
2013 final standings
Lewis Plato 109.06pts
Introduced in 2011 as a challenge for club racers the Sunoco 200 Challenge
continues to thrill racers from all over the world
As with the Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge, eligible racers
that have signed up for the Sunoco 200 Challenge get points from
where they finish: 100 points for a race win, down to 5 points for
tenth position plus 20 points awarded for fastest laps and pole
position individually. The points are then divided by the number of
races in the racer’s season to create an average score, then the highest
point scorer wins a place in the race.
Included in the prize are flights, hotel rooms, race suit and three
days of testing at the Roar Before The Rolex 24 and of course the race
itself! Racers from the Radical Clubman’s Cup, MINI Challenge JCW
Class, F3 Cup, GT Cup, Britcar Production Cup and the Dutch
Supercar Challenge fought for the prize drive.
In total over 100 racers challenged for the Sunoco 200 Challenge,
8
of which the closest was Chris Smiley in the JCW MINI Challenge
who was very close to winning, but as Lewis Plato upped his speed at
the same time as Chris suffered some ‘bad luck’ (race incidents etc.),
he managed to steal the big prize with just one round to go!
The Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge has produced five
worthy winners since it was created by Jim France and Anders
Hildebrand. The Sunoco 200 Challenge (formerly known as the
Sunoco GRAND-AM 200 Challenge) is now bringing its third
challenger to get the chance of a lifetime to race on the famous
Daytona International Speedway’s 31 degree banking. Lewis
Plato, team mate to Bradley Smith, in a Mectech run Radical SR3,
dominated the Radical Clubman’s Cup (after he learnt how to get off
the start line that is) in his first year of racing and will now, as part of
his prize, race a flame spitting V8 powered Chevrolet Camaro on the
Friday before the Rolex 24 At Daytona which runs alongside all of
the razzmatazz of the big race!
The Continental series BMW Performance 200 race, as it is called,
is divided into two classes, the ST (Street Tuner) and the big GS
(Grand Sport) class where Lewis will compete in the Camaro against
Aston Martins, Porsches, Mustangs and other sports and muscle
cars. The race itself is 200 miles long (hence the name) and many of
the racers in the Rolex 24 use the race to get up to speed. The grid
holds up to 90 cars, so Lewis will be extremely busy behind the wheel
and therefore it will be absolutely key is to keep the car in one piece
until the final 30 minutes, where he will then be able to challenge for
the win.
In 2013 Lawrence Davey was running as high as sixth place, but
later dropped down to 23rd after a “cuddle” with an Aston Martin
put the left rear wheel out of alignment, although finally finished
less than 25 seconds from the winner, so this contest is, as you might
understand, a very intensive race.
The revamped Sunoco 200 Challenge will continue for the 2014
season and again provide an up-and-coming racer the opportunity to
race over 4,000 miles away from the comfort of his homeland. Maybe
your talent is such so that you will be picked up by a team manager
and your dream becomes reality, or it may just be one of the best
race weekends ever! Whatever happens - we will continue to provide
opportunities for Sunoco fuelled championships for years ahead.

How we deliver fuel
How we deliver fuel
How we deliver fuel
Pumped service events
Our wide range of race fuels are supplied to
our customers in a wide variety of ways
Control fuel supplier
A number of race series have chosen us as their control fuel supplier.
This means that all racers must use the nominated fuel for all races.
We support these series by being on site across the whole race
weekend, including any official test days.
Fuel is delivered to each competitor in drums and we collect any
empties after the meeting has finished. Spare fuel is always available
and unused, sealed drums can be returned. We test fuel samples on
site with our own FTIR infrared spectrometer, which produces a
very accurate chemical graph of the fuel, which is compared against
a reference sample.
The advantages to a series of running a control race fuel are:
• Our very consistent race fuels help protect engines from detonation
worries and reduce component wear
• Creates a level playing field for all the competitors
10
• Removes the legal issues that teams or individuals can face when
transporting large volumes of fuel
• Forecourt petrol stations limit the amount of fuel that they will sell
in cans. Although not enforced at all forecourts, this can make the
collection of large volumes of fuel not only time consuming but
difficult
• We work closely with the series organisers to develop a range of
joint marketing iniatives
Official fuel supplier
Some series prefer to leave fuel as a free choice for the competitors,
but like the option to have our support at their events, for those
racers who like to use a race fuel. Our service operates in exactly the
same way as a control fuel arrangement, apart from the fact that no
testing is carried out and marketing support is reduced.
We have been working within the historic market since 2004 offering
a leaded fuel service with 100 RON and 105RON fuels available for
sale by the litre.
We are the official fuel supplier to the Masters Series, HSCC
and HRDC, supporting all their UK events and selected European
rounds as well. Competitors are free to source their own fuel, but an
increasing number choose to use our service. Our fuels remove the
need to use other octane or lead replacement additives, which can
if over treated, cause misfiring. Mixing the 105RON with pump fuel
will also give a very cost effective race fuel, which will offer good
levels of protection for a comparatively low compression race engine.
The recent trend within the rally community has been to move to
controlled refuelling using mobile refueling equipment operated by
a professional team, within a dedicated area. This has been driven by
a number of factors, not least the desire by event organisers to limit
the damaging effect on the local environment in terms of possible fuel
spills and empty cans being left behind. We have been servicing the
British Rally Championship since 2008 providing a range of fuels by
the litre.
FTIR sample test results
Super Unleaded Batch No. 531
Sunoco RMR Batch No. 526
Pallet service
For a limited number of series, we arrange to have all fuel orders
delivered to the race event by pallet service, for the series themselves
to take delivery and distribute amongst the racers.
Works well for low volume events and removes the need for teams
to transport their own fuel.
Home delivery
Our biggest group of customers are those that order fuel by phone,
email, internet or fax to our office. We are happy to send a single 25
litre drum or orders making up several pallets, using our hazardous
transport partner, Clarke Transport, who operate a 3 day or next day
service for any orders processed before midday.

Radical Sportscars is the world’s largest manufacturer of trackday
and sports-racing cars, based in the UK but selling over 250 cars
per year to over 30 countries worldwide. The Anglo American Oil
Company is the official race fuel partner of Radical Sportscars for its
European and UK domestic race championships.
The Radical Masters Euroseries, SR3 Challenge, Clubman’s Cup
and SR1 Cup have gone from strength-to-strength in 2013 with
packed grids and thrilling racing, both feats set to continue in 2014.
RADICAL MASTERS EUROSERIES
Radical’s premier pan-European endurance race series has visited the
Continent’s fastest and most challenging Grand Prix circuits in 2013
with a calendar that kicked off early in March at Portimao. The everpopular Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps and Circuit de Catalunya
featured alongside Paul Ricard and Monza making a welcome return.
The Masters Euroseries features two classes for the SR8 RX and
SR3 RS respectively; in the former Masters Class, Brazilian former
single-seater ace Victor Correa had to wait until the very last round
to seal his title and wash pushed hard throughout the season by 2012
champion Konstantin Calko. After the final round the pair were split
by just four points with the Marks Electrical Racing duo of Tony
Wells/James Littlejohn third in class.
Radical UK Works Team driver James Abbott sealed the
Supersports Class and overall championship honours in his SR3 RS
with incredible consistency and pace throughout the season. Nine
class wins, five pole positions and five fastest laps ensured he was
never headed, although last year’s UK Cup champion Colin Noble
and Czech racers Bronislav Formanek/Josef Zaruba weren’t far
behind.
In 2014 the Radical Masters Euroseries will once again enjoy an
unbeatable calendar of world-class race circuits running alongside
the well-promoted GT Sport package, and will continue to offer
the same exciting 50-minute endurance race format for one or two
drivers per car.
RADICAL SR1 CUP
RADICAL SR3 CHALLENGE
Radical’s UK domestic endurance championship enjoyed a revised
format and a new name in 2013, changing from the Radical UK Cup
to the Radical SR3 Challenge. Britain’s fastest single-make formula
has welcomed some extremely experienced sportscar, BTCC and
single-seater stars to the Radical family, alongside gentleman drivers
of all levels of experience to create a fascinating and close-fought title
battle.
Young Billericay racer Bradley Smith has undoubtedly been the
class of the 2013 field with 12 outright wins seeing him wrap up
the title in the penultimate round. Not only does Smith win an SR8
RX drive in the Radical Masters Euroseries as his prize but also the
Sunoco Rolex 24 at Daytona Challenge which will see him drive a
Daytona Prototype in January 2014.
He wasn’t the only race winner in 2013 though. At Oulton Park
Andy Cummings and ex-British GT champ Bradley Ellis notched up
12
a victory whilst at Snetterton Peter Belshaw and Phil Keen took a win
for Marks Electrical. Throughout the season the racing has been fast
and furious. Expect more of the same in 2014 as the same great SR3
Challenge format continues to grow and mature.
RADICAL CLUBMAN’S CUP
The evergreen Radical Clubman’s Cup has enjoyed grids of
over 30 cars throughout 2013 ensuring close racing and a tight
championship battle between the Supersport and Prosport classes.
Despite missing the opening round at Snetterton eventual champion
Jesper Westerholm was straight on the pace at Brands Hatch to battle
with Supersports class victor Lewis Plato throughout the season,
trading places at every race.
At the season’s end Westerholm had taken the Clubman’s Cup by
just five points from Plato to secure a drive in the SR3 Challenge.
Plato has the Sunoco-supported GRAND-AM 200 Challenge prize
to look forward to in January, thanks to his consistently high class
results through the season.
There’ll be even more thrills and spills in 2014 with the addition
of the SR1 Cup class for drivers progressing from Radical’s entrylevel championship but still enjoying the same great 20-minute sprint
format races...roll on the first round.

Sunoco UK
The Radical SR1 Cup has been THE great success story of UK
motorsport in 2013. To launch a new ‘championship-in-a-box’ concept
for novice racers to gain all the experience, confidence and racecraft
they need to compete successfully, and witness 24 eager racers enter
Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch for the first time has been a
fantastic achievement.
The SR1 Cup package includes a brand-new Le Mans-inspired SR1
Cup racecar, intensive dedicated trackday tuition, a free race suit and
race entry fees to eight races at Brands, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park
and Snetterton. It’s a concept that’s been welcomed and acclaimed by
industry professionals and looks set to enjoy even bigger grids in 2014.
Colin Noble Jnr, son of Masters Euroseries runner-up Noble Snr
scooped the inaugural title after a season-long battle with fellow
youngster Dan Vaughan. The pair spent much of the season nose-totail but in the end Noble was able to edge Vaughan with Rob Almond
third-in-championship. The SR1 Cup also offers the Fangio Trophy,
contested by drivers over 40 years of age; in this Caterham Academy
convert Brian Caudwell took the honours ahead of James Guess and
Matt Brookes.
In a short space of time the SR1 Cup has made a big impression.
Such has been the success in just one season, already the SR1 Cup is
being considered for other markets around the world. We can’t wait to
see what 2014 will produce.

British Rally Championship
MSA British Rally Champio nship
MSA British Rally Championship
Sunoco CF is the control fuel for the MSA British Rally
Championship (BRC) and is a high quality unleaded, fast burning
fuel. To minimise environmental impact on public areas such as
woodland the BRC introduced centralised refuelling to give a safe,
single refuelling facility at all of its events. Using a control fuel
supplied from managed refuelling rigs negated the need for the
carriage of fuel to and from events by individual teams meaning a
safer and cleaner public environment.
2014 Overview
The 2014 MSA British Rally Championship (BRC) comprises seven
classic rallies, a mix of four gravel and three asphalt events, each
offering a different length, terrain and character. New for 2014, the
epic Rally Isle of Man will provide two point scoring opportunities
creating eight rounds in total with competitors counting their best
six scores. With four rounds on each surface, separate asphalt and
gravel championships will exist for all competitors including BRC
Challenge Trophy runners.
Already proving to be a development arena for real talent, the
main BRC will continue to be the pinnacle of the sport in the UK
14
and in recognition of this, the cars will run at the front of the rallies
in a modern group and ahead of the historic cars. It will again feature
just two wheel drive cars in five new categories.
The outright rally wins and eventual British Rally Champion
driver and co-driver are expected to come from BRC1 which is based
on FIA R3 regulations. BRC2 will be for FIA R2 category cars and
the technical regulations will provide for a one-off development of
vehicles via the Championship Passport scheme. BRC3 will comprise
the MSA British Junior Rally Championship where for the first time,
competitors will be allowed to build their own non homologated cars
based on slightly modified R1 standard showroom regulations. The
MSA British Manufacturer Teams Rally Championship will be award
to teams fielding two cars in BRC1, 2 or 3.
Integral to the 2014 Championship will be the new BRC
Challenge Trophy (formerly the BRC Challenge) which will be
inter-seeded with the main BRC group, providing all of benefits of
participating in the British Rally Championship, but on a smaller
budget. The Challenge Trophy runners will complete a shortened
version of the overall route and are not allowed to do reconnaissance
on gravel. For newcomers, it provides a starting point, experience
and insight of each event, recce on asphalt rounds, plus reward
and recognition with its own dedicated finish ceremonies. The
BRC Challenge Trophy classes, BRC4 & BRC5 will be open to non
homologated vehicles and provide the BRC Stars of the Future (for
under 21 year olds) a first rung on the ladder to BRC stardom.
The BRC Challenge Trophy is a new addition in the form of
an amalgamated BRC Challenge. The Challenge Trophy provides
new category BRC4 and BRC5 crews with a chance to compete in
the BRC with non homologated vehicles, without the additional
cost burden of higher entry fees, longer events, having to do the
reconnaissance on gravel rallies. Competition for U21 junior drivers
will be focused on the BRC Stars of the Future for drivers who were
born on or after 1st January 1993, driving BRC5 designated cars only.
BRC5 will provide low cost entry and structured progression into the
main BRC.
New for 2014, separate BRC Gravel and Asphalt Championship
titles for all competitors whether doing the main event, of the shorter
Challenge trophy section. Points will be drawn up from the classified
results at the point in the rally where both elements split. Four

MINI CHALLENGE
Mini Challenge
The MINI Challenge is THE Championship for the new MINI in the
UK since 2002 and has always enjoyed great grids, colourful cars and
close racing.
Over the years The MINI Challenge has built a reputation for
affordability, fairness and fun, by building on the iconic MINI Brand.
In 2013 a new and enthusiastic team took over promoting The
MINI Challenge, with exciting new prizes and initiatives such as a
Touring Car test for a JCW Class driver and a subsidised JCW drive
for the Cooper Class winner. The MINI Challenge also now boasts
16
a dramatically increased social media presence with Facebook,
Twitter and YouTube seen as primary media channels alongside
more traditional TV coverage via 7 x 30 minute programmes on
Motors TV.
The MINI Challenge regularly visits the UKs top circuits
including Brands Hatch GP, Donington, Oulton Park, Silverstone,
Snetterton plus, in 2013, the Dutch circuit of Zandvoort.
The multi-class structure enables drivers with varying degrees
of experience and budget to be part of The MINI Challenge,
The MINI Festival at Brands Hatch attracted approaching 10,000
spectators at Brands Hatch over the last two seasons and a similar
number of MINI fans are expected at the new Oulton Park event.
The MINI Festival format develops a broader appeal for spectators/
sponsors by combining exciting racing with entertainment for the
fans including car stunts, pitlane and grid walk abouts.
Our guest appearance with the British GT/F3 package at
Snetterton and the Brands GP Dutch Supercars event offers more
opportunities to impress sponsors with some of the highest profile
racing in the UK.
We will also be finalising1/2 non championship events to book
end what we hope will prove to be the best MINI Challenge season
yet. Further details of these non-championship events will follow in
due course
whilst providing a natural route for progression. As a true single
make/model championship scrutineering controls mean that fairness
is maintained so that drivers and teams can be sure that only skill
and legitimate knowledge will have a bearing on race results.
Budgets are also kept under control through restrictions on tyre
use and widespread use of control parts in areas where performance
advantage could be gained.
The MINI Challenge is ‘The Place to Race’
The 2014 MINI Challenge has 7 meetings* at the UKs best circuits.
The calendar showcases more high profile events, including another
MINI Festival at Oulton Park, a guest appearance on the British GT
Package and a new Pirelli Festival.

F3 cup
gt cup
F3 Cup
F3 Cup is one of the UK’s fastest club-level single seater
championships, and provided one of the tightest finishes in British
motorsport in 2013. The championship is the perfect place for
drivers to hone their skills in superb machinery, most importantly,
on a budget.
The championship caters for F3 chassis from 1980 up to 2007
across three different classes: The Masters 96 Class, for cars built
before 1997, the Trophy 01 Class for cars between 1997 and 2001 and
the Cup 07 of cars from 2001 to 2007.
It was Alex Craven of Lanan Racing who won a richly-deserved
championship title in 2013, overhauling early championship leader
and GP3 racer Alice Powell, racing with the highly-experienced
Mark Bailey Racing squad. The title race went down to the wire, but
Craven outscored BRDC Rising Star Powell at the final round of the
season at Snetterton to join Chris Dittmann on the honours list of
champions.
For the second year in a row the championship went down to a
three-way shoot-out with Tristan Cliffe the third protagonist, the
man who claimed the most wins all year but still only finished third.
Henry Chart would have made it a four-way battle but for bad luck,
though the double race-winner shone in the final race of the season.
Louis Hamilton-Smith did everything but win in 2013, claiming 10
podiums from the 12 races he entered.
That competitiveness, coupled with a calendar packed with some
of the UK’s best circuits, has made F3 Cup an attractive place for
drivers of very different experience levels to race at a fraction of the
cost of British F3.

GT CUP
F3 Cup photos by Jonathan Hatfield
2013 was a superb year for the GT Cup culminating in a thrilling
final round with Jeff Wyatt clinching the Championship from
season long front runner Alex Martin by only one point. The
average grid size for the seven weekend calendar was over twenty
six cars with drivers competing in cars form thirteen marques. The
GT Cup encourages engineering and so had the honour of being
the series chosen for the racing debut of the new SIN R1 racing car
– a World first.
2014 is shaping up to be an even better year for the
championship. With an exciting calendar that will visit three Grand
Prix circuits and includes supporting the prestigious Blancpain GT
series at Brands Hatch on what promises to be a GT extravaganza.
Motors TV will also broadcast the June Silverstone meeting live as
cars and drivers compete around the international circuit using the
F1 ‘Wing’ pit buildings as their base for the meeting.
The format remains ideal for solo drivers but also accommodates
two driver team entries and professional driver / coaches. Each two
day meeting will have one 45 minute race with a compulsory pit
stop on the Saturday, and two twenty five minute sprint races on
the Sunday. The Saturday will also include a thirty five minute free
practice session, and a 20 minute qualifying session. The one day
rounds will have 30 minute qualifying session and two twenty five
minute sprint races.
Championship boss, Marc Haynes commented: “The 2013

season was very successful with strong grids and close racing
which produced a grand stand finale. We are very excited about
the calendar for the 2014 season and we have had a large number
of expressions of interest from drivers and teams about the
coming season so we are optimistic we will build on the progress
made last year.”

Catering for a diverse range of
machinery Britcar has established
itself on the calendar as the premier
series for endurance racing
Anglo American Oil Company are pleased to continue their
relationship with Britcar by providing a fuel service to both the
Britcar Endurance Championship and the Britcar Endurance Sports
and Touring Car Championship. In 2014 competitors will be free
to supply their own fuel, or source it from Anglo American. As the
official fuel supplier, we support the series by being on site across the
whole race weekend delivering fuel to competitors and collecting any
empties after the meeting has finished.
Britcar Endurance Championship
The Britcar Endurance Championship caters for out and out GT cars
from Le Mans levels of performance such as Porsche 911 RSR’s and
Ferrari GT2’s, Le Mans style prototypes in LMPX and GT4 cars such
as Aston Martin GT4 and Ginetta G50s.
Race weekends are a mix of two 90 minute races and a longer
race at Spa Francorchamps. All races include the excitement of an
endurance race featuring pit stops with driver changes, refuelling
and tyre changes. The championship is usually the headline event at
race meetings and has support from the Britcar family of races. The
endurance Championship continues the Britcar ethos of offering
great track time at each race weekend.
The 2013 championship was action packed throughout with the
title of ‘2013 MSA British Endurance Champions’ going to the Team
Parker Porsche 911 of Ian Loggie and Chris Jones.
Britcar Endurance Sports and Touring Car
Championship
The companion championship to the Britcar Endurance
Championship is the Britcar Endurance Sports and Touring Car
Championship. It caters for less tuned and more road based cars and
is a mixture of production saloons, endurance specials and older
GT4 cars.
All of the races last 90 minutes except for the 4 hour race at
the famous Spa Francorchamps Grand Prix Circuit and feature a
mandatory pit stop. In 2013 Ian Lawson, Anthony Wilds and Mike
Wilds piloted their ING Sport 320i to championship glory.
For 2014 there are plans for two new series aimed at smaller
20
engined more cost effective machinery, named the Britcar Trophy
Series and the Britcar Duro Series. These series are intended to
widen the appeal of the Britcar format.
Britcar 24 Hours
It is hoped that the drama and excitement of the Britcar 24hrs will
return in 2014 after a one year break This is a must do event for
many racers. With few UK circuits holding licences for 24 racing,
the approval process is both a complex and time consuming issue
and at the time of writing the local authorities are still to make a
final decision.
The 24 hours is a non championship event where both the
Britcar Endurance Championship and the Britcar Endurance
Sports and Touring Car Championship combine along with
extra entries from other UK Championships as well as a great
contingent of overseas endurance teams joining in on the action at
the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit. Always fun and unpredictable,
this is the show case event on the Britcar calendar and also Anglo
American Oil Company’s biggest control fuel supply event.

HSCC
The Historic Racing Drivers Club’s (HRDC) outlook is to bring back
and uphold the spirit of the type of ‘Club Racing’ that was prevalent
in the 1950s and ‘60s. This ethos of ‘Old School’ values has captured
the attention of many historic racers who feel that the historic racing
arena is in danger of becoming too overtly commercial, with less and
less focus on the people who work-on and race-in their treasured
cars in favour of harvesting the perceived wealth of those individuals.
Thus the HRDC provides a more stripped-down approach to racing,
with a greater emphasis on camaraderie and community spirit,
which evoke an altogether more harmonious atmosphere in the
HRDC race paddocks throughout each racing season. That’s not to
say that the level of racing is any less exciting in HRDC races – from
the cheeky manoeuvres Austin A35s and A40s to the bellowing
power slides of the Jaguar Mk.1 and Mk.7s, the competitive spirit of
HRDC racers is undiminished!
The 2014 season will see both HRDC Series (HRDC ‘Touring
Greats’ for pre-’60 historic Touring Cars’ and HRDC ‘Allstars’ for
pre-’66 historic Sports, Touring and GT cars) contest six race dates
at six premier U.K racing venues. Full information on how to get
involved can be obtained by gong onto the HRDC website:
The Historic Sports Car Club is Britain’s premier historic motor
racing club. It was formed in 1966 to encourage the preservation and
continued racing use of the classic sports and sports racing cars of
the 1940’s and 1950’s many of which, technically outdated, were then
being neglected and even forgotten.
The club runs an average of 12 race meetings a year including
the Cadwell Park Wolds Trophy, Brands Hatch Superprix, The
Oulton Park Gold Cup, The Donington Historic Festival and
both the Silverstone Classic and the Silverstone International. For
2013 the club added a new event the Thruxton Easter Revival
which is to be repeated in 2014. It also adminsters a total of 13
Race Championships and series. In 2011 the HSCC was awarded
Club of the year at the International Historic Motoring Awards, to
compliment their previous two awards of “Historic Competition
Club of the Year.”
In 2013 the HSCC launched a new series of races for the Super
Touring Cars, of the 1990’s. This has attracted a lot of interest,
including former drivers Patrick Watts, John Cleland and Tim
Harvey from the period. In 2014 the grids are set to expand furter.

SPEED EuroSeries goes Dutch
European 2ltr Sports Car Championship
The SPEED sports prototype competitors will have greatly increased
grids in 2014 as the CN cars will form an exclusive category within
the Dutch Superlight series of events that travel across Europe with
30 plus starters. The SPEED enduro events will include 60 and 90
minute races and potentially a two hour race on the wonderful
Brands Hatch GP long circuit in September. The programme as
envisaged as we go to press includes events also at the Nurburgring,
Spa, Zolder and Paul Ricard in the South of France.
SPEED cars will continue to reflect the full FIA CN regulations
running with the 2litre Honda engines that have proved the
cornerstone of reliability and performance. Sunoco racing fuel will
be the number 1 choice for the competitors as in past seasons and
already new cars are being prepared for the events. The successful
Wolf chassis will again be plentiful but more competition is
expected from the UK in the shape of the Gibson and Tiga cars. The
Gibson ran successfully late in 2013 and for the new season a new
Tiga model will be unveiled. Taatus, Ligier and Norma will continue
24
to provide strong competition in this closely matched formula
that provides a first class training ground for young drivers with
endurance racing ambitions and gentlemen drivers wanting quality
racing at sensible prices.
“Integrating our entries with the popular Dutch Superlight
categories reduces costs for our SPEED entrants whilst still giving
the international experience to the drivers and teams. Having a
larger number of cars on the grid makes it a more enjoyable race
meeting and fun is what it is all about,” said Speed co-ordinator
Stuart McCrudden.
The SPEED category within the Superlights events will have
unique points awarded that will count towards the end-of-season
awards with regular position bulletins posted on the SPEED
website. In this way recognition of outstanding results will
continue to be rewarded. 2014 will be another competitive
season for the CN racers.

Coinciding with the change of the 2014 FIA fuel
regulations we have developed two new turbo fuels. The
fuels are so new that the specifications are not finalised
at time of print.
The RTF is designed to meet 2014 FIA fuel
regulations and to get the absolute maximum out of the
specifications. Emphasis has been to produce a turbo
fuel with lots of bottom end and mid range torque.
The RTFF is designed for turbo race vehicles where
no regulations prohibit the composition of fuels used.
With an octane number of over 106 and an oxygen
content of 15% this fuel will dramatically increase power
in any turbo engine subject to precise engine mapping.

SUNOCO 260 GTX
SUNOCO Green E15
Sunoco E85R
SUNOCO 260 GT
260 GTX is designed for high performance racing cars, muscle cars,
street rods, motorcycles, karts and marine applications. 260 GTX
will allow significantly increased boost levels in non air-restricted
supercharged or turbocharged applications. It contains no metallic
compounds to harm catalytic converters or oxygen sensors. It
contains no oxygen thus it does not contain any ethers (ETBE or
MTBE), alcohols (such as ethanol or methanol), and it does not
contain MMT. This ensures it is a very inert fuel that will not cause
any compatibility issues and will store for extended periods even in
humid conditions. 260 GTX provides protection against knock up
to compression ratios as high as 13.5:1. Available in 25 and 200 litre
drums.
Sunoco Green E15 contains 15% ethanol and is the control fuel
for NASCAR. Developed specifically to meet the continuing
conservation initiatives being introduced by The National
Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, using US produced ethanol.
A highly oxygenated fuel. Available in 25 and 200 litre drums.
Sunoco E85–R is blended to consistently contain 85% ethanol.
Conventional E85 can vary from 68% to 79% ethanol and also
varies seasonally, making it difficult to use where precise mapping is
required in a racing application. The non ethanol portion of
E85 –R is comprised of highly refined race fuel hydrocarbons for
stability and consistency.
Points to consider are the fuel’s potential to be more aggressive
with rubber materials and the fact that you will use up to 40%
more fuel compared to traditional petrol.
With the highest octane rating of any US street legal fuel, 260 GT
will allow increased boost levels in supercharged or turbocharged
applications. It contains no metallic compounds to harm catalytic
converters or oxygen sensors. It has a high oxygen content to enable
a richer mixture resulting in more power and rapid response of the
engine. 260 GT provides protection against knock up to compression
ratios as high as 14:1. Available in 25 and 200 litre drums.

SUNOCO MAXNOS
SUNOCO Racing Methanol
Designed for competition engines using nitrous oxide injection
systems. It is formulated to achieve a significantly higher specific
gravity than other high octane fuels, allowing for maximum fuel
flow when used with high volume nitrous oxide systems. The dense
nature of this fuel helps guard against lean running conditions that
can lead to catastrophic engine damage. Available in 25 and 204 litre
drums.
The Sunoco racing methanol is produced to the highest standards
possible. Its purity normally exceeds 99.85% purity. Methanol’s high
octane value and oxygen content (50%) makes it a popular fuel.
Along with the ability to produce good power, it also burns very
coolly, helping to control engine temperatures. It does however have
draw backs. It is very corrosive when in contact with soft metals and
certain types of rubber materials. From safety point of view, it burns
with a colourless flame. Available in 25 and 200 litre drums.

Whilst the Sunoco race fuels are inherently stable and can be kept for
extended periods, there are a few very important considerations to
bear in mind, once the drum has been opened. Any fuel, including
race fuel, will deteriorate, when exposed to the atmosphere.
Prolonged exposure, will allow the light–end properties to escape,
and as a consequence, the performance of the fuel will drop.
This means that when using your drums of fuel at a circuit, they
must be resealed after you have removed the quantity of fuel you need.
You should not leave any kind of transfer pump standing in the drum
as typically they don’t maintain an air tight seal in the drum opening.
One other issue to mindful of is the increasing use of ethanol
in unleaded fuels of any type. Ethanol attracts moisture and is
aggressive to rubber. This means it is important to keep drums closed
on damp or wet days, and if our English summer is actually sunny,
fuel should not be kept in clear containers.
Once a drum has been opened, the fuel will keep, but there are
a few provisos. As mentioned above, the container must be kept
sealed and it is best to use the containers we supply the fuel in. Our
standard Tri Sure bungs have a rubber seal and can be screwed down
tightly to make an air and moisture tight seal. All our fuel drums
have an internal coating applied, which prevents any corrosion
forming, keeping the fuel clean.
The drum itself needs to be stored at a stable temperature. The key
thing is not to expose the drum to extremes of temperature variation,
i.e. leaving it outside in direct sunlight in summer or snow and ice in
the winter. If these simple rules are followed, then the fuel, in a part
drum, will easily last for months or even years (depending on type of
fuel inside – call for technical advice).
Transportation by sea
The International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code requires
that fuels classified under UN 1203, MOTOR SPIRIT or
GASOLINE or PETROL must be declared when being carried
by sea. Unless declared, it is prohibited to carry any additional
fuel, other than that which is in the fuel tank(s) of the car(s) on
any ferry crossing.
If undeclared fuel containers are discovered by the Ferry
Company or an inspection body the ferry operator will not
allow the carrier to travel unless, the fuel is disposed of outside
the port area before boarding the ferry. If undeclared fuel is
found, the time taken to deal with the incident could mean
that the ferry crossing may be missed.
The declaration of the petrol must be made on a Dangerous
Goods Shipping Note. The declaration must be as follows:
UN1203 MOTOR SPIRIT,3,11(D/E) for less than 10% ethanol
content.
It is important that the person loading the vehicle signs
Container/Vehicle Packing Certificate.
Transportation in the UK.
Transporting petrol, be it race fuel or regular pump fuel, is
regulated by ADR, which is an international standard covering the
transportation of hazardous materials. In the UK this is enforced by
various bodies, such as the Police, Ministry of Transport and VOSA.
These regulations limit the amount of fuel that can be
transported, unless the driver holds an additional ADR licence and
the vehicle has the specified safety equipment aboard. If stopped
carrying more than the quantities shown below, then as the very least
you will be prevented from completing your journey, until a suitably
qualified driver and vehicle is found.
A private individual is allowed to carry a maximum of 240 litres
in containers no larger than 60 litres. A business, is allowed carry up
to 333 litres, in either 25, 50 or 200lt drums provided:
• The vehicle has 1 x 2kg dry powder for the cab
• The driver has had some low level training (Awareness training)
• The cans must not be opened in transit
• No portable lighting equipment to carried unless it
conforms to ATEX.
• No Smoking on or around, the vehicle during operations,
this means loading, unloading and transit
• The drums need to be secure whilst in transit
• Need to carry INSTRUCTIONS IN WRITING (The Instructions in
Writing can be downloaded from the internet)
Any business regularly transporting fuel with any doubts about
what they are doing should make contact with a local dangerous
goods safety adviser.
Once you exceed these limits you will be subject to full ADR 2013.

Fuel Metering
Specific gravity
Specific gravity
Definition: specific gravity (noun) – the ratio of the density of any substance to
the density of some other substance taken as standard, water being the standard
for liquids and solids, and hydrogen or air being the standard for gases
For fuels, specific gravity can be determined by dividing the density
of the fuel (in units of pounds per gallon) by the density of water
(8.325 pounds per gallon). Let’s look at one example. Sunoco
Supreme weighs 5.95 pounds per gallon. Applying some maths: 5.95 / 8.325 = 0.715. So Supreme has a specific gravity of 0.715.
If fuel A has a lower specific gravity than fuel B, fuel A is said to
be “lighter” than fuel B. Literally, a gallon of fuel A weighs less than
a gallon of fuel B. Sunoco GT Plus has a specific gravity of 0.762, so
it is said to be “heavier” than Supreme.
Why does this matter? Well there are two reasons.
First, specific gravity has an impact on fuel metering, especially
for carburetted engines. A heavier fuel is of course denser, so the
float in a carb’s float bowl will sit higher than if a lighter fuel was
used. If the float sits higher, the fuel level will be lower. Fuel level
affects fuel metering in a number of ways, so if you’re switching
fuels, pay attention to the fuel level in the bowls.
For most race fuels, specific gravity is also an indication of
the composition. Note that the words “most” and “indication”
were used – there are exceptions. However, for most race fuels,
a lower specific gravity suggests a faster–burning fuel, while a
higher specific gravity suggests a fuel is slower–burning. This is
because most light hydrocarbons used to make a race fuel are faster
burning than most heavier hydrocarbons. This matters because
38
faster–burning fuels usually require less spark advance than slower–
burning fuels.
So in addition to paying attention to fuel metering changes
when switching race fuels, you need to pay attention to ignition
timing as well. We’re not talking huge changes here, but these
changes are important to the proper tuning and consistent
performance of your race engine.
One final thought – there are implications for pump gas as well.
The specific gravity of pump gas will typically range from about
0.720 to 0.770. As you can now guess, this wide range is a reflection
of the wide ranging composition. Pump gas composition varies by
octane, by region, and by season. For these reasons, a race engine
that can run on pump gas must be tuned conservatively just to
prevent engine failure. You can imagine the consequences of an
engine that is tuned to the ragged edge on one batch of pump gas,
then another batch is used in a race and the motor runs lean and
timing is over–advanced. Not good.
One of the most important attributes of a race fuel is its
consistency. Even if you don’t need all the engine protection offered
by a high octane race fuel, you may need its consistency. Specific
gravity is one of the many parameters we monitor to ensure quality
and consistency in all our fuels, batch after batch.

Fuel Metering
Can I mix fuels?
Yes, you can mix any of our race fuels. But remember – if your
engine needs an unleaded fuel, you don’t want to mix leaded with
unleaded. Doing so would make a leaded fuel which could still
damage oxygen sensors and catalytic converters.
What is the octane when I mix them?
First you need to calculate the percentage of each fuel that will be in
the final mixture. Then, use this equation to find your octane:
( [ % Fuel A ] x [ Octane of Fuel A ] ) + ( [ % Fuel B ] x [ Octane of
Fuel B ] ) = Octane of Mixture
Here’s an example. Let’s say you mix 3 gallons of 115 with 2 gallons
Sunoco_UK
Sunoco UK
of 95 and you want to know the octane of the resulting 5 gallon
mixture.
The percentage of 115 in the mix is 3/5 = 0.60 (60%).
The percentage of the 95 octane fuel in the mix is 2/5 = 0.40 ( 40%).
Plugging the information into the equation:
(0.60 x 115) + (0.40 x 95) = 69 + 38 = 107
So the octane of the resulting mixture is 107.
You can also determine the oxygen content of the mixture the
same way – just use the oxygen content information from each fuel
in place of the octane numbers.
See, that wasn’t so bad, was it? After all, it’s just maths. And if
you have any other questions about race fuels, don’t hesitate to

Due to ever tightening federal EPA requirements, today’s motor
oils have reduced quantities of anti-wear chemistries like Zinc,
Phosphorus and Sulfur. As a result, the oil you buy today is not
the same as it was 10 years ago. While this is good for your
street car, it is bad news for your racing engine. Racing engines see more RPM, higher loads and increased temperatures
compared to street engines, so a racing engine requires higher
levels of these wear additives to prevent premature part failure.
So you see, the oil used in an engine needs to be formulated
specifically for that type of engine. You wouldn’t use a stock
piston in a race engine, and the same goes for oil. And that’s

carb DefenDer offers maximum Protection.
The PROblem: Ethanol Corrosion In Carbureted Engines
The growing use of Ethanol in modern pump fuel significantly increases the risk of
carburetor and fuel system corrosion. Ethanol is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs
moisture, which causes corrosion in the fuel system and inside the engine. High
levels of Ethanol dilution in the motor oil can lead to increased moisture in the
crankcase, thereby causing rust and other corrosion problems. Plus, Ethanol by itself is corrosive to components made of Aluminum and Zinc, like carburetors. Both
of these problems are compounded by long periods of storage between uses.
Before you put your carbureted engine in storage for the winter off-season, it’s crucial to make
sure it has the correct protection so that it will be in proper running condition when it’s time to
take it back out the next year.
Designed for all carbureted engines, Driven Carb Defender will save you the hassle of costly
post storage repairs resulting from corrosion that happens at an accelerated pace over the
winter due to temperature swings. Because it is specifically formulated to protect against Ethanol corrosion and induction deposits, Driven Carb Defender and its special corrosion inhibitors
work to counteract the damaging moisture buildup resulting from the hygroscopic characteristics of Ethanol-blended fuel. Over the winter months, the Ethanol in your fuel tank absorbs moisture, which if left unprotected will lead to rust, corrosion and other costly problems. In addition,
this additive stabilizes the fuel as well as cleans existing deposits in the combustion chamber.
With Driven Carb Defender, you can rest assured that once it’s spring and you’re ready to bring
your ride back out, its performance will remain the same.

Let’s face it, all oils lubricate. The question is for how long and under what conditions? Stock motor oils work for stock
engines. But when you install a higher lift cam and stronger valve springs, you need a better oil. High performance
engines see more RPM, higher loads and increased temperatures compared to stock engines, so a high performance
engine requires higher levels of Zinc, Phosphorus, Sulfur and other additives to prevent premature part failure. This is
especially true in flat tappet engines. Simply put, the oil used in an engine needs to be formulated for that specific type

Many oils now claim to be “High Zinc,” but the real question is not about how much Zinc is in your oil. The better question is,
“What type of Zinc is in your oil?”
In 2011 the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Lubricants and Standardization Committee (ILSAC) both adopted new motor oil standards that called for a new type of Zinc additive in motor oils that carry the API SN and ILSAC GF-5 certification. This is on top of the reduction of Zinc anti-wear additives in API and ILSAC licensed motor oils since 2005. To understand
this whole situation better, let’s take a quick look at what Zinc actually is, how it works and why it has been reduced and changed.
zinC 101
The oil additive Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) works because it is a polar molecule, so it is attracted to metal surfaces.
ZDDP reacts under heat and load to create a sacrificial film that allows ZDDP to protect flat tappet camshafts and other highly
loaded engine parts. The Society of Automotive Engineers’ Automotive Lubricants Reference Book states, “ZDDP is the predominant anti-wear additive used in crankcase oils, although it is a class of additive rather than one particular chemical.” Some
Zinc additives have slower “burn” rates that require more heat and more load to activate than other Zinc additives. As a result,
not all “high Zinc” oils have the same activation rate. High speed valve trains require a “fast burn” ZDDP that activates quickly.
However, these “fast burn” ZDDP additives tend to reduce catalytic converter performance. As a result, motor oils have
changed from traditional ZDDP additives in the range of 1,000 to 1,200 ppm back in the 1990s down to a minimum of 600
ppm and a maximum of 800 ppm of “Phosphorus Retention” ZDDP today (for API SN and ILSAC GF-5 motor oils). This is a
direct result of EPA requirements to reduce vehicle emissions. While this has been beneficial for reducing emissions in modern
engines, it has been very detrimental to classic and high performance engines. Since the reduction of ZDDP in motor oils,
every camshaft manufacturer has seen flat tappet and high performance valve train failures skyrocket as a direct consequence.
The CRiTiCal balanCe
OF deTeRgenTs TO zinC
Detergents and dispersants in the oil complicate the situation. Detergent
and dispersant additives compete against Zinc in the engine because they
are polar molecules as well. Detergents and dispersants clean the engine,
but they don’t distinguish between sludge, varnish and Zinc – they clean all
three away. Modern API certified oils contain high levels of detergents and
dispersants. The old school theory on engine break-in was to run non-detergent oils, and this allowed for greater activation of the Zinc additive in the oil.
Driven BR Break-In Oils utilize the correct balance of high levels of Zinc
anti-wear additives and low levels of detergents, so you don’t need to buy
expensive additives to try to correct a low Zinc (ZDDP) content oil.

developments in oil technology.

It begins with the Driven Engine Assembly Grease that places tenacious extreme pressure, anti-wear additives on the critical wear surfaces of your engine. Next, Driven BR Break-In Oil feeds your engine the “fast burn” Zinc it
craves during initial break-in. Driven uses a proprietary combination of “fast
burn” ZDDP anti-wear and extreme pressure additives to provide proven protection for flat tappet and aggressive roller cam valve trains. The unique formula of BR Break-In Oil also utilizes low levels of detergent and dispersant
additives in order to quickly establish the critical anti-wear film throughout your
engine. Building this foundational anti-wear film in your engine lowers the wear
that occurs during break-in, which extends the life of your engine.
Once the anti-wear film has been established and the break-in process completed, the XP series of racing oils adds proven friction modifiers to lower
engine temperatures and increase horsepower. The HR series of oils for classic cars and hot rods provides extra storage protection additives as well as
flat tappet cam protection. Driven also provides a complete line of synthetic
high performance street oils designed to protect turbochargers and modern
engines with variable valve timing technology. If you have a high performance
or classic engine, Driven has a system of oils tailored to protect your engine
from initial break-in to full throttle.

Less wear during break-in means longer engine life.

Driven Racing Oil has made a major technological
leap by incorporating mPAO, the most innovative
synthetic base oil available, into all of its synthetic oils.
Oil does more than just reduce friction and wear − it provides vital cooling in an engine.
Cool, well lubricated parts last longer, so spraying oil on valve springs, camshafts and
pistons will keep them running stronger for longer. Synthetic oils have a greater specific
heat capacity than conventional oils, which means synthetics can absorb more heat
from the part. This enables synthetic oils to cool better than conventional oils.
0.55
Also, the high temperatures on the valve springs, camshafts and pistons cause conventional oils to break down much faster than synthetic oil. Conventional oils begin to break
down at 240° F, but synthetic oils can handle up to 320° F before they begin to break
down. The improved thermal stability of synthetic oil provides increased oil longevity, and
the greater heat capacity of synthetic oil provides better cooling for extended part life.

Consider that lubrication scientists use something called “viscosity index” to
compare the quality of different base oils. The index is based on Pennsylvania Crude, which is the highest quality conventional crude oil. PA Crude has
a viscosity index of 100. The preferred synthetic base oil until now has been
PAO, which is quite a bit better than any conventional oil as it features an index number of 140. mPAO has a viscosity index of 200 – solid evidence of its

A typical Methanol fueled engine can run five nights of racing before
needing a complete oil change – just by changing the filter and adding oil each night. As long as the oil still looks fresh and does not
smell like fuel, you can just change the filter, add oil and keep racing.
Once the oil turns dark and begins to smell like fuel, go ahead and
drain the oil and install fresh oil and a new filter.

While synthetic oil costs more per quart, it can actually save you
money on total oil purchases. It is more durable and lasts longer than
conventional oil, so you don’t have to change it as often. The most
cost effective approach is to use synthetic oil and frequently change
the oil filter. However, over 50% of machine failures are related to
contamination so keeping your oil system clean is also important.
Changing the used filter removes contaminants from the oil system,
and topping off the oil when you install the new filter adds clean oil
to the system. Following this maintenance program reduces engine
wear and oil purchases, as well as extends oil life.

Using the correct viscosity synthetic oil provides extra “insurance” against heat related
engine wear and damage. To choose the correct viscosity for your race application, see
the chart on page 28 of this catalog.
Specific Heat
Oil is the lifeblood of any engine. When it comes to highly complex performance
engines, it’s critical to choose the oil that meets your engine’s specific needs.
While it is often difficult to separate “fact from fiction” regarding engine oils, rest
assured that lubricant technology is constantly evolving at the highest levels of
motorsports, and Driven Racing Oil is a major player in those developments. One
such breakthrough that Driven has recently incorporated into all its synthetic
options is mPAO − a next generation synthetic base lubricant. While you may
never have heard this name before, what this stuff does is impressive. By using
an mPAO base for creating its performance lubricants, Driven is able to create
a lightweight motor oil that retains a high HTHS (High Temperature High Shear)
viscosity to give you the best lubricant possible − an oil that’s less sensitive to
heat, doesn’t break down under extreme friction and increases power output.

Drag race engines don’t typically run long enough to build adequate oil temperature to evaporate off fuel dilution and condensation from chilling, so we offer products specifically for nitrous, bracket racing and naturally aspirated engines. Higher levels of
moisture from chilling the engine prior to a run and excessive fuel dilution will shorten the life of the oil. We recommend changing
the oil filter after each race weekend. When the oil begins to change color or smells like fuel, you should change it.

“With eight laps to go in a race, my son saw the oil pressure light come on. He thought for a second that there must
be a gauge problem because the engine was running great. There was no loss of power, no noise, nothing to tell you
there was anything wrong. When we returned to the shop we checked the gauge to find no oil pressure and that the
oil pump had broken clean off. But thanks to the durability and protection of Driven XP5 we were able to run that
same engine three weeks later.
Endurance racing in desert and dirt track environments calls for frequent oil changes to remove dirt ingested into the engine
during competition. Driven’s semi-synthetic and petroleum formula oils deliver outstanding wear protection at a price that
allows for frequent oil changes.
• sYnTheTiC: xP9 delivers the ultimate in off-road and dirt track performance. xP9 replaces conventional 20W-50 racing
oils, and it lowers oil temperatures. Also, the dial-in viscosity of xP9 reduces engine wear by providing better oil flow at startup without sacrificing high temperature bearing protection.
• SEMI-SYNTHETIC: XP5 and xP7 − These semi-synthetic, mPAO based formulas are perfect for desert off-road and dirt track
engines. The addition of some mPAO base oil increases the ability to handle high loads and high oil temperatures without breaking
down. This increases the durability of the oil while maintaining a semi-synthetic price. The 20W-50 viscosity of the xP5 is perfect
for aluminum block engines, and the 10W-40 viscosity of the xP7 is perfect for iron block engines.
• PETROLEUM: XP4 − In very dirty and very high fuel dilution environments, the best plan of action is to change the oil frequently. The all
mineral formula of xP4 delivers high Zinc protection for valve train durability, and the 15W-50 viscosity provides bearing oil film thickness.
“We are not a big dollar team. We cut corners where we can, but I will never cut corners when it comes to oil again.
Keep up the good work.”

Choosing the Right Viscosity
Viscosity Change With Temperature
Viscosity is the most important property of a lubricant. Using too high of a viscosity oil can result in excessive oil
temperature and increased drag. Using too low of a viscosity oil can lead to excessive metal to metal contact of moving parts.
Using the correct viscosity oil reduces friction and wear.
Since all oils get thinner as they get hotter (and get thicker as they get colder), the charts below show the viscosity change from 100˚ F to
300˚ F. You can use these charts to select the best viscosity for the operating temperature of your application (not too thick nor too thin).
40 years ago, you had winter grades for cold weather and summer grades for hot weather. A typical winter grade was 10W. A
typical summer grade was 30. We often refer to these oils as straight grade oils. A 10W flows well in cold weather, so it protects
the engine at start up in cold weather. That is why it has the “W” after the 10. “W” stands for winter, but a 10W is too thin for use
in the heat of the summer. So, you would change to a 30 summer grade oil that was thick enough to protect in the heat. That is
why multi-grade oils were invented. A 10W-30 has both the winter cold start up flow properties of a 10W and the summer high
temperature thickness of a 30 grade. A multi-grade oil allows the oil to stay as close to the optimum viscosity over a range of
temperatures − not too thick when it is cold and not too thin when it is hot.
As you can see, the operating temperature of the oil plays a major role in the selection of the proper viscosity oil. For example,
look at an NHRA Pro Stock engine, a NASCAR Sprint Cup engine and a World of Outlaws 410 Sprint engine. Each engine has
a very different operating oil temperature – 100°F, 220°F and 300°F, respectively. As a result, all three engines run very different
viscosity oils − SAE 0W-5, SAE 5W-20 and SAE 15W-50. The lower the oil temperature is, the lower the SAE you can run, and
vice versa. It is important to keep clearances in mind. Looser clearances in the engine and oil pump require higher viscosity oil to maintain
oil pressure. Tighter clearances need lower viscosity oil, which provides better cooling and improved horsepower. For more detailed explanations of how oil temperature and bearing clearances affect oil selection, please visit www.drivenracingoil.com
Driven Racing Oils are application engineered to allow the use of lower viscosity oils without compromising wear. Follow the
chart below to select the appropriate oil for your application.

However, viscosity changes with temperature. Oil gets thinner as it gets hotter. To select the correct viscosity for an application
you need to know the operating temperature of the oil. Engines that run high operating oil temperatures require higher viscosity
oil. Engines that run low oil temps require lower viscosity oil.

Oil COnsumPTiOn & Oil vOlaTiliTY
Have you ever torn down a motor and seen oil in the intake manifold? How about an intake valve dirtier than an exhaust valve?
Ever wondered why that is?
The one word answer is “volatility.” This refers to how much vapor a motor oil releases when it gets hot. Just as how water
vapors rise off a pot of water before it begins to boil, the same thing happens to motor oil inside your engine. As oil splashes
onto the pistons and valve springs to keep them cool, the high temperature causes some of the oil to evaporate.
Modern engines have a positive crankcase ventilation valve that vents these oil vapors into the intake manifold. The oil vapors
condense in the cool air/fuel mixture, which leaves the oily deposits in the intake manifold and on the intake valve.
So what can you do? Using a lower volatility motor oil is the first line of defense. Fewer oil vapors mean not as many make it
into the PCV system in the first place. More oil is then kept in the crankcase where it belongs. The next thing you can do is
install an aftermarket PCV line oil catch can.
These two steps will reduce the amount of oil getting into the intake tract. Obviously a cleaner intake valve will flow more air
for better power and fuel economy. These steps also reduce oil consumption, which helps to protect O2 sensors and catalytic
converters from damage due to excessive oil consumption.
Specialty oils like Driven LS30, FR20 and FR50 feature a high-quality base oil, reduce oil consumption AND contain more ZDDP
for better engine protection. The O2 sensors and catalytic converters don’t know how much ZDDP is in the motor oil so it stays
where it should – in the crankcase lubricating your engine. LS30 can contain 50% more ZDDP since the volatility is 67% less
than standard base oils. The higher quality base oil delivers better all around protection and performance.
engine assemblY TiPs
A human hair is about 80 microns wide, and the smallest particle size you can see with a naked eye is about 40 microns. Can
something so small you can’t even see it really cause problems? The answer is yes.
Clearance size particles do the most damage. They are small enough to get into the space between the bearing and the journal
or the lifter and lifter bore, but they are too big to flow straight through without touching anything. Particles that are smaller
than the clearance between moving parts can easily flow through the clearance space without doing any damage, and the
particles that are too large to enter the clearance gap are blocked out. It is the particles that are similar in size to your engine’s
clearances that you need to worry about.
When you do the math, you’ll find that .0025" vertical bearing clearance yields out a clearance space of .00125" (half of the
total clearance is on each side of the journal). One and a half thousandths is equal to 32 microns, so particle sizes you can’t
see are the ones that you need to worry about.
Here are 3 practical steps you can take during the assembly of an engine to rid yourself of these unseen assassins.
1. Clean YOuR PaRTs beFORe insTallaTiOn: Driven recommends using a foaming degreaser to lift the greasy film from parts.
2. use an Oil FilTeR WiTh FineR miCROns duRing bReak-in: A production car filter will have a finer micron rating than
a racing filter will have. After the initial 30 minute break-in period, change the oil filter.

vaRiable valve Timing
The majority of variable valve timing (VVT) engines use motor oil as a hydraulic fluid to run the timing mechanisms. This change
adds a whole new wrinkle to what you need your motor oil to do. In addition to providing anti-wear and fluid film protection for
your engine, the motor oil in a variable valve timing engine must also resist foaming and shearing.
Obviously foam is a poor lubricant, and it is an even worse hydraulic fluid. The air in an engine can be compressed, and a good
hydraulic fluid should be basically incompressible. If your motor oil foams, you could be in trouble.
The other area that could affect the performance of the VVT is shear stability. Viscosity is the most important property of a lubricant, and motor oils are required to
work over a very wide range of temperatures – good examples are starting a car
in Minnesota in January or driving a car in Arizona in July. To improve the viscosity
attributes of the oil, polymer additives called Viscosity Index Improvers are added.
These Viscosity Index Improver polymers can be degraded under high shear conditions. Think about stretching a rubber band. Pull too hard and it breaks. This can
happen in VVT engines as the oil is being forced through the narrow passages of
the VVT under high hydraulic and mechanical load.
The shearing or breaking down of the Viscosity Index Improver polymer leads to
lower oil pressure and degraded viscosity characteristics. Both of these will affect
the performance of the VVT system.
Overhead cam with phaser in VVT engine
A secondary effect of both foaming and shearing is increased oxidation that will
shorten the life of the motor oil. As the aerated and sheared oil interacts with the
oxygen in the air (and unburnt Ethanol-blended fuel), oxidation of the motor oil
increases. If the oil becomes highly oxidized, the engine can be harmed by the
deposits and acids left behind by the oxidized oil.
A high performance engine that utilizes VVT technology needs to be filled with a
high performance oil that resists foaming and provides shear stability.
The hydraulic industry recognizes the KRL shear stability test as the standard for
determining if an oil is shear stable enough for heavy-duty applications.
Owners of VVT engines should look for motor oils that perform well in this test. Many off-the-shelf brands of motor oil lose
more than 25% of their High Temperature High Shear viscosity during the KRL test compared to less than 10% in Driven’s line
of high performance street oils. It is also a good idea to look for an oil with a low foaming tendency.
Finally, many VVT engines feature overhead camshafts (OHC), and these cams are driven via timing chains. Proper anti-wear
additives are important to protect these chains and gears from wearing during high performance use. For track day car owners
that have engines featuring VVT, a motor oil with a little extra ZDDP in it would be helpful.
Keeping the oil changed on a regular basis is also important for keeping the engine clean. Hydraulic systems need to be kept
much cleaner than a normal engine. This means changing the oil filter regularly if the car sees a lot of track days, and keeping
the oil change interval to a reasonable mileage – no 10,000 mile oil drains here.
3. Change The Oil aFTeR bReak-in: Most of the wear metals that will be created in an engine’s life will occur during the first
hour of operation. It’s cheap insurance to change the oil after break-in.

Oil mYThs FACT VS. FICTIoN
ROlleR Cam bReak-in
fiction
While everyone understands the need for proper break-in oil for flat tappet camshafts, many people don’t think twice when it comes to
breaking in a roller cam. But according to a growing number of engine builders, piston ring manufacturers and cam grinders, the difference can be substantial, especially as more engine builders are using roller cams to handle higher valve spring loads and turn more RPM.
Oil that “wears-in” rings will create a lot of fine metal particulate that can kill a roller cam. During break-in an engine can create up to four
times the particulate material than it does after break-in, and according to bearing manufacturer, Timken, it’s the main cause of premature
roller bearing failure. Some break-in oils designed to accelerate the break-in process generate higher levels of wear metal. However, if the
oil is friction modified, then the rings won’t seat properly, so striking the right balance is critical. Another issue is that roller cams typically
support higher spring pressures and contact loads than traditional lifters and rockers.
This is where high ZDDP (Zinc) additives enhance the anti-wear characteristics of the Driven BR Break-in Oil that protects these types
of components during the critical break-in period. The protective layer of ZDDP anti-wear film smoothes out the peaks and valleys that
comprise the microscopic surfaces on roller wheels and needle bearings. A smooth surface enables greater load carrying with less fatigue.
According to Brian Reese of COMP Cams, the more aggressive the valve train is in terms
of lift, duration and spring pressure, the less margin of error you have. “We are seeing a
trend away from flat tappet engines because of the oil issues related to them. But just
because you have a roller cam, doesn’t mean that it does not have to be broken in properly,” Reese says. “NASCAR-level engine programs like Joe Gibbs Racing are still doing
30 minute break-ins on their roller cam engines because they have learned the hard way
what happens when they don’t.”
Valve train experts agree that the most critical time for any engine is during break-in, so it
pays off to spend extra time on the details.
COOlanT sYsTem CORROsiOn
It is not uncommon for cooling system corrosion issues to develop for racers and performance enthusiasts alike. This can
occur whether they are using a coolant additive or anti-freeze. It sounds like it could be a complicated problem, but the real
culprit is easy to pinpoint…water.
The presence of hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium can cause corrosion
inside your engine’s cooling system. Using tap water or well water to mix your anti-freeze
can lead to this destructive corrosion process. Vital components such as the radiator,
water pump and cylinder heads (iron or aluminum) all can be affected, leading to a loss
of overall cooling efficiency.
There is a simple solution to this problem, however. Driven Racing Oil developed CSP
(Coolant System Protector) in response to the corrosion problems the Joe Gibbs Racing
NASCAR teams faced due to the sanctioning body’s rule that does not allow competitors
to run anti-freeze. NASCAR requires only pure H2O. Driven CSP neutralizes hard water
minerals like Calcium and Magnesium so that they cannot cause the aforementioned corrosion in your cooling system. It can be used with both anti-freeze and regular water and
also reduces the surface tension of water, allowing for better heat transfer for improved
cooling. In addition, CSP lubricates water pumps for improved pump life.
70
fiction
Flat tappet engines can’t use synthetic oil because the lifters won’t rotate – the synthetic oil
is too slippery.
This is a variation on the first myth that has become popular since flat tappet camshaft failures began to increase about a
decade ago. Like the first myth, the origin relates to the misapplication of passenger car motor oil. Twenty years ago it was
common for racers to use off-the-shelf motor oils in their racing engines because the oils contained enough ZDDP (Zinc) to protect aggressive camshaft designs. Over time though, the ZDDP levels in synthetic off-the-shelf oils were reduced due to EPA
regulations for passenger cars. This reduction caused these formulations to be insufficient for protecting flat tappet camshafts.
This implied that the problem was with the synthetic oil rather than the lack of ZDDP. However, choosing a synthetic motor oil
with special formulation that includes more ZDDP will protect your flat tappet camshaft.
Once you use synthetic motor oil, you can never change back to conventional oil.
An engine running conventional motor oil can change to synthetic motor oil, and vice versa. However, it is not a good idea
to switch back and forth between different BraNds of oil. But more importantly than brand, use the correct tyPe of oil for
your engine. Most high performance and racing engines are actually broken in initially on conventional oil (specially formulated
for engine break-in) and then switched to a properly formulated synthetic oil for use after break-in. The key is to select an oil
formulated for the specific needs of your application, and then stick with that product.
fact
Synthetic oils are bad for engines with old seals.
This myth turns out to be true in MOST (but not all) applications. “Old” refers to engines built before 1992. Synthetic base oils
are not compatible with many of the traditional seal materials, and even with “seal conditioner” additives, synthetic oils are
harder on traditional seal materials than conventional oils. To avoid leaking seals, avoid very light synthetic motor oils in older
engines. The low viscosity and resulting free flowing nature of the synthetic make it easier for the oil to find a leak path. Higher
viscosity oils tend to leak less.
The corrosion issue is magnified in motorsports, as many racing series and tracks do not
allow teams to use anti-freeze in the cooling system, and straight water alone is more corrosive because of the minerals inside. Some racers will use water together with a coolant
additive to combat some of the downsides of using water by itself, but typical coolant
additives do nothing to help prevent hard water corrosion.
Driven CSP will work for a full season of racing and should be drained and refilled after the
end of each one. Driven Racing Oil CSP can be used in any racing series or sanctioning
body where water is required.
The roots of this myth are based in the misapplication of passenger car motor oil in motorcycles. The power density of motorcycle engines places greater shear forces on the motor oil than passenger car engines do, and as a result, most passenger
car motor oils are not appropriate for use in a motorcycle. The resulting failures were blamed on the synthetic oil. However, the
problem wasn’t the synthetic base oil, it was the fact that synthetic oil was not formulated for the needs of a motorcycle engine.
A properly formulated synthetic motorcycle oil will provide superior performance in the engine it was designed for. Likewise, a
properly formulated synthetic passenger car motor oil will provide superior performance in a passenger car engine.

Roller cam and lifters
Synthetic motor oil is too slippery. It causes roller bearings to slide instead of roll, which
causes the bearings to fail.

High performance cleaning
and protection products
With its founders involved with motorsport for many years, they saw first-hand the need for a range of
products that would not only meet the requirements of competitors, but offer a level of performance
that would stand up to the job they had to perform. Through careful observation and listening to
feedback from key team members and experts in the motorsport world, a brand new range of highquality products began to emerge - each designed and developed to cater for a specific need that had
been highlighted by people at the sharp end of the sport.
As well as blend chemicals that would produce excellent results every time, it was important that the
products performed quickly and efficiently, as time is crucial in the heat of competition. To achieve this,
each and every item was tested in race conditions and, it wasn't until all the boxes were ticked, did they
get the green light to go into production.
Kleers has also gone a step further than just the chemical formulation of the products themselves and
has carefully considered the type of container required for each application – making sure that it is the
right size and uses the right dispensing mechanism - features that make them efficient and easy to use.
Added to this, each item has been distinctively branded to differentiate it from the company's
mainstream range of premium quality car care products.
Already, Kleers Motorsport products are being used by some of the world's leading team's in some of the
world's most prestigious events, including Formula 1, the World Rally Championship, the World
Endurance Championship, Le Mans, NASCAR, Grand Am, ALMS and a range of high profile GT
championships – to name but a few.

Developed over a two-year period, the Aero Performer Surface Preparation Kit is a ground breaking innovation from Kleers, specifically
engineered to achieve maximum surface performance by reducing drag and the build up of foreign objects.
After studying the amount of debris: rubber, insects and general grime that is collected from the race-track, it became apparent that the
interruption in air-flow – albeit small in same cases – could cause drag or sometimes the loss of aerodynamic efficiency, especially if the
unwanted items were stuck to leading edges, splitters, wings, body panels and flat-floors. In addition, these objects would add weight to the
vehicle, particularly in long-distance events.
By using the kit’s Paint Cleaner and applying Kleers Aero Performer liquid using the colour-coded microfibre cloths, debris build up and
therefore drag is dramatically reduced on the treated areas. There are no visible signs of using the product once it has been applied.
• This product is recommended for use on high performing, aero-sensitive racing cars, such as: F1, GP2,F3,
LMP1, LMP2, GT, GTE, NASCAR, GrandAm, V8 etc.
• Not recommended for use on glass or plastic windows
• 50ml refill bottles can be purchased separately

The perfect solution for mid–race refuelling, having been used
at a number of MSA governed historic endurance races over the last
few years in the UK.
Each can is easy to use, with no spilling or mess. The clever neck
design includes a spring loaded valve that only releases fuel when the
collar in compressed. The flow of fuel stops when either the neck is
released, or the fuel level reaches the breather tube in the neck.
It is also self–venting during operation and includes a seal in the
neck which prevents vapours from escaping. Each can holds 20 litres
and takes approximately 75 seconds to empty.
Available in red, blue, white and orange.
