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.
Born out of the Joe Gibbs Racing NASCAR team, Driven Racing
Oil has been pioneers of oil technology for over 10 years. All the
Driven products are race proven and backed up with countless
hours of dyno and development time.
Taking this to a new level in 2013, sees the introduction of
mPAO synthetic high temperature, viscosity stable base oils to offer
even better levels of performance and protection.
The race range of oil has now been complimented by a wide
range of performance road oils bringing the benefits of using
Driven Oil to a much wider audience.
Kleers
After two years of research and introduction Kleers car care
products was launched in 2010. Since then its products have
received praise and acclaim on a global scale and consequently
more innovative ideas in car care were introduced. 2012 saw the
development of the Kleers motorsport range; a series of intelligent
products that are aimed at racers and teams that compete in all
forms of motorsport – either at a professional or amateur level.
R Racing
Anglo American Oil Company’s own brand ‘R Racing’ has the
ability to manufacture and produce the very best bespoke fuels and
lubricants for the racing market. With our in depth understanding
and knowledge of motorsport, we can respond to market demands
and produce products not readily available from the major
manufacturers.
PJ1 track compound
PJ1 track compound is used by the fastest drag strips throughout
the world to improve traction at the start of the drag strip. PJ1 is
the recommended track compound of NHRA.

T
he 2012 introduction of the ISC Racers Tape has
gone smoothly and encouraged us to look for
another brand to compliment our product range
of high quality racing products. It is therefore great to
be able to introduce Kleers motorsport range to you for
the 2013 season. Kleers, founded by racers Andy and Rob
Barnes, specialise in high end detailing car care products
but being racers the brothers saw a gap in the market
and launched the Kleers motorsport range during 2012
after 2 years of R&D. We have given the products their own
section in the catalogue to be able to tell the full story –
that these products are being used by current F1 teams as
well as grass root racers proves that they do the business.
Our two driver challenges, the Sunoco Daytona Challenge
and the Sunoco GRAND-AM Challenge, have performed
really well this year taking new racers to Daytona. The
idea to give not only a once in a life time opportunity for
the challengers, but also the opportunity to showcase
their driving skills to some of America’s top endurance
racing teams has proved very popular. This has been
amply demonstrated with Felipe Nasr, the podium
finishing 2012 Rolex Challenge winner, being invited
back by the Action Express team to drive for them in the
2013 Rolex 24 At Daytona. The 2013 Sunoco Daytona
Challenge winner Ivan Bellarosa from the SPEED
EuroSeries set a new average points record and hopes
to be on top of the podium with top running Starworks
Daytona Prototype team - exciting stuff!
Lawrence Davey, our second winner of the Sunoco
GRAND-AM Challenge will find himself behind the wheel
of a roaring Camaro in the GRAND-AM 200 race on the
same weekend as the 2013 Rolex 24 - quite a change to
the Legends car he is used to racing!
Our suppliers are continuously working behind the scenes
developing and refining their products and this year’s
innovative prize must go to Driven Racing Oils with the
introduction of the mPAO synthetic base oils taking
viscosity stability to a new level.
For 2013 our focus will remain the same - high quality
products paired with unrivalled technical support and fast
delivery service. Good luck for the next season and let us
supply you the products that take the luck out of racing!

Sunoco Daytona Challenge
Grand–Am explained
The GRAND-AM Road Racing Association, founded in 1999 in Daytona Beach, is
now in its second decade of competition and begins with one of the hardest
24hr endurance races in the world – the Rolex 24 At Daytona, on the last weekend
of every January. In late 2008 GRAND-AM became integrated in the NASCAR
establishment giving the organisation even more strength and credibility. The key
behind GRAND-AM’s success is giving the race experience back to the fans and it’s
something that they pride themselves highly on.
Built 1958, 3.56 miles road course, 31 degree banking, total infield area 180 acres
GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series
The GRAND-AM Rolex Sports Car Series offers extremely competitive sports car racing and features two classes of cars, exotic Daytona
Prototypes and sleek GT machines that run simultaneously on track. Rolex Series races are measured in time, not distance, and require more
than one driver at the helm. Typically a two–man team competes in the shorter, sprint events which last anywhere from two to three hours.
For the longer and more difficult races, such as the Rolex 24 At Daytona or the Six Hours At Watkins Glen, a three-to-five man team will
contend. In addition to taking on tyres, refuelling and making chassis adjustments, driver changes are also required during the race.
Daytona Prototype Class (DP)
The DP class consists of striking, mid-engine machines purpose built for close, door–to–door competition.
General Motors were the first to put a adapted Corvette body on a DP chassis with stunning results. Speeds
in excess of 190MPH means that these cars are packed with the latest in safety and technology. Power in
excess of 550 BHP and a low weight of 1,025 kg means that these are very exciting cars to race and results in
top runners running neck–to–neck over the finishing line.
Grand Touring Class (GT)
The GT class consists of American muscle cars and exotic European sports cars that most fans can identify
with: Audi; Chevrolet; BMW; Ferrari; Porsche etc. Similar to European GT3 specification but with enhanced
focus on safety these GT cars are gaining momentum amongst sports car fans. Typically the wonderfully
sounding engines produce between 450–500 BHP.
in a Daytona Prototype giving them a fantastic opportunity to
showcase their skills in front of a 50,000 plus crowd. Last year Felipe
Nasr, our 2011 season winner and British F3 Champion, exceeded all
expectations and finished 3rd overall – this year, as a result Felipe has
been drafted in as a pro–driver with Action Express! Two years ago
we introduced the Sunoco GRAND-AM Challenge for the rest of our
control fuel championships and what a success that has been. This
year’s winner Lawrence Davey from Legends beat over 120 other
drivers and will now race a Chevrolet Camaro in the 200 mile race
the day before the Rolex 24!
GRAND–AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge
The Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge features sports cars from manufacturers worldwide, straight from the showroom floor, racing
side–by–side with only minor modifications. The only improvements made are in the area of safety. There are two classes that compete
continuously on track – the GS and the ST classes.
Grand Sport Class (GS)
GS Cars have engines that generate between 350-405 BHP, which equates to speeds in excess of 160 MPH.
This class includes Aston Martin Vantages, BMW M3s. Chevrolet Camaros, Porsches and Ford Mustangs and
many other high profile sports cars.
Street Tuner Class (ST)
ST cars can reach speeds in excess of 130 MPH but there are no V8s allowed, only four- and six-cylinder
engines are permitted. Mazda Speed 3s, Ford Focus ST–Rs, Volkswagen GTIs and Honda Civics are examples
of ST cars. Easy to drive but needing skill to master these cars are ideal to start with if your ambition is to get
onto the GRAND-AM racing stepladder.
Freezing in Europe or sunbathing at
Daytona Beach?
January in mid to Northern Europe can be a bit cold and gloomy and
that is precisely why we love going to the Rolex 24 At Daytona every
year! Not only is the Rolex 24 one of the most exciting and fierce
races we’ve ever been to, featuring qualifying pace throughout the
race and cars finishing within fractions of seconds year after year, but
it also gives us a chance to enjoy Florida sunshine and recharge the
batteries before the European racing season starts in April.
Sunoco Challenges and the
Rolex 24 At Daytona
For the last 4 years the Sunoco Daytona Challenge has been
introducing a winner from our top Sunoco fuelled championships
into the highest level of American Sportscar racing by placing them

Now in its fourth year the Sunoco Rolex 24 At
Daytona Challenge continues to give one lucky
driver the chance of a life time!
For the fourth year running the Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona
Challenge is giving one lucky winner the chance to race at Daytona
in the Rolex 24.
The participating series for 2012 were the SPEED EuroSeries
and the Britcar MSA British Endurance Championship. The drivers
scored points ranging from 100pts for first place down to 5pts for
tenth place, with 20pts on offer for pole and fastest lap.
The Radical UK Cup produced the first two winners of the
Challenge. Derek Johnson, the inaugural winner, and 2011 winner
Ross Kaiser both proved themselves to be worthy winners and have
been excellent ambassadors for the event.
The 2012 Challenge was won by the 2011 British Formula 3
champion Felipe Nasr. Nasr, who currently races in the GP2 series,
raced the #6 Michael Shank DP car and exceeded all expectations
when he drove the car home in third place.
This year saw SPEED EuroSeries champion Ivan Bellarosa take
the Challenge win after scoring the highest point score in the history
of the Challenge with 124.38 average points. From the first SPEED
round at Paul Ricard, Bellarosa showed an extraordinary level
of driving when he took both race wins. He was then consistent
throughout the season, taking eight out ten race wins, and winning
the SPEED EuroSeries title – with three races left.
37–year–old Ivan Bellarosa is part of team Avelon and races a
Wolf racing GB08. Bellarosa was born in Switzerland and currently
lives in Brescia, Northern Italy – close to the Wolf racing factory
where is a factory driver as well as an active promoter for the cars.
Ivan started racing in both international and regional karting
championships, with his father and brother forming his team,
from 8 years age and moved up through the rankings with various
championship wins. Bellarosa then made his car–racing debut at 18
in Formula Panda, the Italian equivalent of Formula Ford, and took
the best rookie of the season award. In 2000 he then moved up into
Italian Formula 3 where he again took best rookie after finishing
second overall in the championship and first out of the b–class cars.
Between 2002 and 2006 Bellarosa unfortunately suffered from
budget constraints and could only compete in part season in various
formulas, however his best achievement was in the highly respected
Formula 1 feeder series, World Series by Renault FR 3.5, where in
2004 in Monaco Bellarosa finished sixth– a fantastic achievement for
a racer which had barely had any FR 3.5 experience.
2007 saw Bellarosa move into prototype racing with Avelon
and in 2008 he finished second overall in the Italian Prototype
CN Championship before taking the championship win in 2009 –
however it was 2010 which saw Bellarosa and his family working
with Wolf Racing and bring the car manufacturer into Prototype
racing. In Ivan’s Wolf Prototype debut he fantastically took the win –
replicating Jody Scheckter and his Wolf Racing debut at the 1977
Argentinean GP where he also took a win.
In 2011 Bellarosa entered the SPEED EuroSeries in order to
promote the Wolf chassis along with his team Avalon Racing.
Bellarosa took six wins however due to other commitments missed
some of the rounds, yet still finished a strong third overall in the
championship.
2013 will see Ivan Bellarosa face his biggest challenge to date –
racing in a Daytona Prototype, with a top team, in the Rolex 24 At
Daytona. Aside from the Rolex 24 drive, Bellarosa’s prize for winning
the Sunoco Daytona Challenge also includes pre–event testing in
America plus all travel and accommodation expenses.
Participating series* for the 2013 season
Bellarosa’s closest competitors were fellow SPEED EuroSeries
competitors Anthony Gandon and Gugliemio Belloti. However due
to Bellarosa’s dominance in the series no one could compete with his
score, allowing him to cruise to victory.
2013 sees the Challenge continue. Once again SPEED EuroSeries
and Britcar racers are eligible, plus 2013 sees the Radical SR3
Challenge and Radical Masters EuroSeries return to the Challenge.

Sunoco GRAND–AM 200 Challenge
2012 final standings
Lawrence Davey 85.94pts
The ultimate prize is a race–seat in the Continental Series GS class
in the GRAND–AM 200 race at the same weekend as the Rolex 24.
As the name implies this is a 200 mile race and driver changes are
compulsory. The race is being held on the Friday before the Rolex 24
so it comes with all the razzmatazz of the Rolex race.
To prepare the Challenge winner for the big race the prize
also includes an opportunity to participate in the ‘Roar before the
Rolex 24’, a 3 day test in early January, where most teams are trying
out their new drivers and new components for the Rolex 24 race
weekend.
Included in the prize is travel, hotel and the cost of the seat so
the only thing that the winner needs to do is bring his helmet and
licence! The winner will gain the full American experience and be
racing in an American muscle car such as a V8 powered Chevrolet
Camaro.
The points are awarded exactly as per the Sunoco Daytona
Challenge meaning that the racer gets points for where he finishes,
100 points for first down to 5 for tenth. There are also 20 points for
fastest lap and pole position available. Due to the different number of
races per series in a year the racers’ points are divided by the number
of races in the respective series to create a fair average point score –
the highest average wins!
Our first winner Aaron Steele, who won the Sunoco GRAND–
AM Challenge on an impressive 113.00 average points, after
dominating the MSV F3 Cup in 2011, had a fantastic time in Florida
when he raced the Mitchum Motorsport Chevrolet Camaro around
the 31 degree steep Daytona banking. Unfortunately a gearbox
gremlin resulted in a DNF but it was still an unforgettable experience
for Aaron.
The 2012 season saw 123 racers fight long and hard to win the
Sunoco GRAND–AM Challenge. The eligible championships for
this year were: GT Cup, MSV F3 Cup, Dunlop Production Touring
Car Trophy, Legends, Dutch Supercar Challenge, Britcar MSA
British Endurance Championship (classes 3 and 4) and the Britcar
production Cup Championship.
The 2012 season was closely contended throughout but it was
Legends racer Lawrence Davey who drove away with the prize.
Lawrence went into the Legends final round needing to score 307
points over the six races to win the race seat in the GRAND–AM 200
race.
With two second places and a win already under his belt,
Lawrence went into his fourth race knowing that a fourth place
finish or higher would seal the deal. Crossing the line in first saw
Davey take the 100 points on offer towards the challenge – his 17th
win of the season. He ended the round with an average point score
of 85.94.
Lawrence’s closest challenger was Gary Duckman from the
Dunlop Production Touring Car Trophy who finished second in the
overall standings, just four points behind Lawrence, with an average
point score of 81.60. Gary had a great season but unfortunately
suffered from a mix of different sized grids meaning he didn’t always
receive full points.
Legends racer Dean Brace also had a great season and finished
third in the overall standings with 78.02 points. The beginning of
the season saw a few DNF’s for Brace and unfortunately this lowered
his average point score.
The Sunoco GRAND–AM 200 Challenge continues for the
2013 season – giving promising drivers a perfect platform for a
professional racing career.
Gary Duckman 81.60pts
Dean Brace 78.02pts

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, Clark Transport, who operate a 3 day or next day
service for any orders processed before midday.

Radical create a complete sportscar
racing ladder and reduce racing costs
The 2013 season will be big for Radical Sportscars, with a brand
new novice championship and a re–alignment of the current
championships to create a staircase that could take a beginner
all the way to a drive at Le Mans or Daytona and they are doing
it while offering packages that are more cost effective than ever
before. Win any of the championships and you will be rewarded
with works drive in the opening round of the following season in
the next championship up – think of it like winning promotion in
football. However should you win the Radical Masters Euroseries
championship – the Radical equivalent of The Champions League
if we are to keep the football analogy going – then you will win
more than just a large trophy. You will get a funded test in an
LMP2 car. And of course the Sunoco Daytona Challenge is also up
for grabs for drivers in the Euro Masters and the SR3 Challenge,
while the Clubman’s Cup racers are in the running for the Sunoco
Grand-Am 200 Challenge.
SR1 Cup
Devised to encourage drivers to take the step up from trackdays,
the SR1 Cup wraps everything you need in one easy, cost effective
package. It includes Radical’s entry level sportscar, the SR1, an
Alpinestars racesuit, and a comprehensive training and race
programme. This begins with the race licence procedure (for those
who need it), followed by two instructor–assisted trackdays, and a
competitive Bedford Autodrome ‘How Fast’ event. It all culminates
with eight races at some of the best circuits in the UK, all for £37,500
plus VAT.
Open to drivers who have either never held a race licence before,
or are still eligible to wear a novice cross on the rear of the car
(meaning they have competed in less than six races), the SR1 Cup
will lead the drivers through the process of getting on the grid, with a
detailed programme of driver training and technical tuition.
The SR1 is a two–seater sportscar that benefits from Radical’s
knowledge and expertise gained from building some 1500 race cars
since 1997, and is powered by a 1340cc RPE–Suzuki engine modified
to suit both racers in the early stages of their development and be
extremely reliable with very low running costs. It weighs just 480kg,
and therefore with its 185bhp still has a power–to–weight ratio that
would shame most supercars, plus it has the benefit of downforce.
The level of aerodynamic grip has not been set as high as in the
ever–popular SR3 RS, but it has enough to ensure the SR1 retains its
balance and cornering speeds exceeding those of any saloon–type
racer. It will run on Dunlop road tyres and drivers will be limited to
two sets for the entire year to keep costs in check.
The championship begins with an ARDS race licence test at
Bedford Autodrome, including a medical (for those already holding
a race licence the cost of the 2013 renewal will be covered), before
two seminars take place. The first explains everything that happens
during a race weekend, from signing–on to taking the chequered
flag, along with circuit driving theory, circuit driving techniques
12
and how to prepare yourself for what lies ahead. The second details
everything you need to know about preparing the car. The SR1 has
been designed to be both easy and inexpensive to maintain and
Radical’s works team engineers will explain just how to do it.
From there the drivers will take their cars to the first of two
exclusive Radical trackdays, one at Snetterton, the other at Brands
Hatch – both circuits that these novice racers will compete at later
in the season. There will be instructors on hand to guide the drivers,
timing will be possible and there will even be the opportunity for
them to try practice starts with the full countdown procedure and
start lights.
With these trackdays under their belts and the adrenaline rush
from driving these thrilling race cars still fresh, it will be time for the
drivers to take part in their first competitive event – again held at the
Bedford Autodrome. ‘How Fast’ is like a trackday with a twist. After
a one hour ‘free practice’ session (run to trackday rules), each car is
fitted with a transponder and sent back onto the track one at a time
for two flying laps – the fastest of which counts. It’s the perfect step
towards qualifying because the races are now not far away. The races
will be held at Brands Hatch, Snetterton, Oulton Park and Cadwell
Park, some of the finest circuits in the UK. By September next year
the first ever Radical SR1 champion will be crowned and along with
the trophy they will win a Works drive in the opening round of the
2014 Radical Clubman’s Cup in an SR3 RS.

Radical Clubman’s Cup
Continuing a deserved reputation for producing packed grids,
fascinating racing and a close title battle, the 2013 Radical Clubman’s
Cup promises to be another great year, with the ever–popular sprint
racing format offering the ideal next step in sportscar racing.
The 2012 radical Clubman’s Cup attracted over 25 entries for
every round and with over 28 cars regularly seen taking the start, it’s
a testament to the value for money with high-speed action that the
series guarantees. The Radical SR3 is eligible for these single–driver
20–minute sprint races (double–headers at all rounds), and it is
arguably the most popular race car in the world with over 800 now
sold over its decade of production, and with well over 100 sold in

2012 alone it shows no signs of waning. You can also race a single–
seat PR6, and for those drivers who are too experienced for the SR1
Cup, they can be raced here, as this will where those novice drivers
will race in 2014.
The 2013 Radical Clubman’s Cup now covers eight months of
competition, visiting the UK’s favourite race circuits. Many rounds
will be televised through Radical’s pioneering on–demand web TV
service, Radical TV, and on Motors TV, with increased marketing
presence through continued association with MSVR.
Radical SR3 Challenge
Building on the success of the Radical SR3 RS, this new
championship is open only to drivers of this model of Radical and
each round features two 40–minute races that can be shared by two
drivers or completed by one with a compulsory pitstop. It is the
fastest one–make sportscar series in the UK.
The SR3 RS is powered by the RPE four–cylinder, 1500cc engine
and it’s a proven class winner, not only in Radical’s single–marque
race series, but many other multi–marque championships around
the world too.
First launched in 2002, the SR3 RS incorporates a six–speed
sequential transmission, and drives via the Power Drive gear drive
system, developed in partnership with Quaife especially for the
SR3. With an integral torque–biasing differential, this reliable, easy–
to–maintain unit is one of the SR3 RS’s strengths, offering strong
traction out of corners. Swapping gear ratios to suit specific tracks is
a straightforward job.
The SR3 RS features Radical’s FIA–specification crash box and
central safety cell, whilst styling cues taken from the SR9 LMP2 car,
including the high–nose front–end, offer not only dramatic styling,
but also advanced aerodynamics, with a full–underfloor diffuser
for leech–like grip. Dunlop tyres, developed exclusively for the SR
series, complete the package.
The sight of a full grid of these hugely successful, high–speed
racers will be something to behold in 2013, the racing is sure
to be as intense as ever, and if it’s anything like any of the 2012
championships the championship will still be up for grabs on the
last lap of the final race.
The Radical Masters EuroSeries
This is the pinnacle of Radical racing, a championship held on the
very best circuits Europe has to offer and open to both SR3 and SR8
drivers. The format is similar to the SR3 Challenge, but the racing
takes place at Portimao, Paul Ricard, Silverstone, Spa, Monza and
Barcelona. The level of competition is high and the speed of the
SR8s is comparable to LMP machinery.

The SR8 is a trackday and racing car like no other, the SR8
RX redefines the word ‘performance’ and has no equals. It is
Radical’s ultimate racer, and it provides the definitive visceral
driving experience. Physics–defying grip, relentless acceleration
and powerful brakes add up to a two–seater track car that can lap
Silverstone in the same time as a Formula 3 single–seater.
The SR8 RX shares similar styling and safety features with its
sibling the SR3 RS, but it beats with a different heart. The latest
generation of RPE’s acclaimed RP V8 engine, powers the SR8 RX
through a unique RPE/Quaife six–speed transaxle. Coupled with
the RPE paddleshift system and auto–blipper, flat upshifts and
clutchless downshift are part of the package. The SR8 RX’s gearbox
was described by former F1 driver Alex Yoong, as having “the best
gearchange I’ve driven outside of F1.”
The SR8 RX’s new RPE 2.7 litre RPX V8 engine develops an
incredible 430bhp and is suitable for use in a variety of Radical
series around the world and this was the same specification used
by Michael Vergers to set the production car lap record around the
fearsome Nürburgring Nordschleife in August 2009.
With the best engine this side of a Le Mans car, it has been
comprehensively proved that the Radical SR8 RX is the fastest
point–to–point road–legal track car money can buy and the Radical
Masters EuroSeries is the best place to race it.
For 2013 the costs for competing in all championships has been
reduced by the introduction of lower entry fees and running costs.

Endurance Motorsport
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 provide a control fuel service to
both the MSA British Endurance Championship and the Britcar
Dunlop Production Cup Championship, we have also serviced the
Britcar 24hrs at Silverstone and this year will provide all the fuel
for the Britcar 1000k races at Silverstone in September. As control
fuel supplier we support the series by being on site across the whole
race weekend delivering fuel to each competitor and collecting any
empties after the meeting has finished.
MSA British Endurance Championship
The MSA British 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 down to GT4 cars such as Aston Martin GT4
and Ginetta G50s.
Races are a minimum of three hours in length with mandatory pit
stops to allow for driver changes and refuelling. The championship is
usually the headline event at race meetings and has support from the
Britcar family of races.
The 2012 championship was action packed throughout with
the title of ‘2012 MSA British Endurance Champions’ going to the
Bullrun team of Richard Adams, David Green and Martin Byford in
their factory supported Lotus Evora GT.
All Endurance entrants must use one of three control fuel options
available, which are: Super Unleaded 97 RON, RJTS 101 RON or
Sunoco CF 102 RON. All racers which choose Sunoco CF are eligible
for the Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge where the ultimate
prize is a race seat with a top team in the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
Britcar Production Cup Championship
The companion championship to the MSA British Endurance
Championship is the Britcar Production Cup 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, with the exception of their
stand alone 1000k race at Silverstone in September. In 2012 Class
3 competitors Harry and Edward Cockhill took the title in their
Honda Civic after a close and competitive season.
All Production Championship entrants have the choice to
run one of the Endurance class control fuels or to source their
own fuel. All competitors using one of the control fuel options in
the championship are eligible for the Sunoco GRAND–AM 200
Challenge, where they could win a seat in the GRAND–AM 200 race
which is the support race to the Rolex 24 At Daytona.
down. Cars will be balanced into three different classes to give
competitive racing, and the race weekends will take the format of 30
minutes qualifying followed by two 45 minute races. Each race will
encompass a compulsory pitstop to allow for driver changes to allow
racers to share the costs of competing.
Britcar 1000k
Replacing the Britcar 24hrs for 2013 is the 1000k weekend where
both the British Endurance Championship and the Britcar
Production Cup will get stand alone 1000k races on the famous
Silverstone Grand Prix circuit. The races will form part of the overall
championship for both series with the Production Cup enjoying the
atmosphere of a race into the night on the Saturday and the MSA
British Endurance Championship headlining Sunday afternoon. The
Britcar 24hrs at Silverstone is planned for a return in 2014 where it
will continue on a bi–annual basis into the future.
The 2012 Britcar 24hrs was a fantastic event with almost all
weather conditions imaginable throughout the weekend. The
eventual victors where the Geoff Steel Racing/MP Motorsport team
of Mark Poole, Richard Abra, Clint Bardwell and Michael Symons
in their BMW M3 GTR, narrowly beating the factory supported
Mike Brown entered Aston Martin GT3 with the British marque,
completing the podium with another giant killing performance from
an Aston Martin GT4 of Perfection Racing from Denmark.
For the 24hrs and this year’s twin 1000k races we supply Sunoco
race fuel directly to the back of the teams’ garages. The teams are
only allowed 2 x 200 litre drums per car therefore we continuously
feed the drums to garages throughout the race collecting empty
drums and replacing them with new ones.

MSA British Rally Champio nship
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.
As the BRC enters its 55th year, its move to a two-wheel-drive
only formula continues, providing manufacturers, teams and
competitors with a chance to achieve outright victories on the
international rallies that make up this world–renowned series.
Alongside the British Championship, the national two wheel drive
championship, the NGK Spark Plugs BRC Challenge, also features
two-wheel-drive cars with no age restriction and no need for
homologation.
Attracting leading teams and independent drivers from the
UK, Europe and as far afield as Australia, the BRC is a proven
high–profile championship with a winning formula. Its regulations
and event formats provide close competition, which allows the
development of vital skills and speed, in addition to generating great
camaraderie between the competitors and teams.
Past drivers and winners form an international roll of honour,
featuring some of the greatest names in sport: Hannu Mikkola,
Pentti Airikkala, Ari Vatanen and Stig Blomqvist. These are joined
by British heroes such as Roger Clark, Russell Brookes, Malcolm
Wilson, Jimmy and Alister McRae, Guy Wilks, Keith Cronin, Mark
and David Higgins; plus former World Rally Champions including
Tommi Mäkinen and the late Richard Burns and Colin McRae.

Group N4 and A7 Kit variant cars are not permitted. Other major
awards include a Privateers Cup and Ladies Cup.
2013 Season provides three British titles in
rallying, these are:
• MSA British Rally Championship is for drivers and co–drivers in
BRC class categories to achieve the highest accolade of the sport in
Britain. The final scores will be based on the best five results from
the seven qualifying rounds.
• MSA British Manufacturers Rally Championship provides a high
profile sporting arena for registered manufacturers. Manufacturers
will score points based on the two highest placed cars on each
event, regardless of driver or team. All six rounds count towards
the final Championship classification.
• MSA British Junior Rally Championship is the platform for future
rally talent and will be open to drivers who were born on or after
1st January 1989, driving Class 10 (Rally 1) cars only.

European 2ltr Sports Car Championship
Mini Challenge
MINI Challenge is truly one of the most enduring one make
championships in the UK. The class structure offers career racers,
seasoned privateers, and new race drivers a competitive environment
where overall championship victory is achievable. The series is
increasingly seen as a training ground for the touring car drivers of
the future.
The 2013 season is set to build on a highly successful season for
the UK’s best MINI championship, which featured busy grids and a
host of close racing.
MINI Challenge will also make its first European visit for six
seasons in 2013, with four races planned at the demanding Dutch
circuit of Zandvoort.
Other highlights will include three races on the
full–length Snetterton 300 Circuit to kick–start
the season on April 6/7 and a second headline
spot on MotorSport Vision’s popular MINI
Festival event at Brands hatch on June 22/23.
MINI Challenge head Paul Harvey said: “We
wanted to go bigger and better for next season’s
20
calendar to provide even more of a test for the drivers and we’re
delighted with the fixtures we’ve lined up.
“The MINI Challenge is enjoying a lot of interest so we felt that
the time was right to go back into Europe and Zandvoort is a perfect
venue because it’s easy to access and cheap to travel to. It is also a
very demanding circuit and with four races taking place there it
should play a key role in the championship fight.
“We’re also delighted to again be headlining the MSVR Mini
Festival for a second season. The MINI marquee has a great
following and it’s a truly special event that celebrates the cars of all
shapes, sizes and ages. MSVR has helped enormously in putting
together such a strong calendar and we’re looking forward to another
special year for the MINI Challenge.”

Established in 2011, the FIA authorised international SPEED
EuroSeries, has established itself as THE premier progressive
sportscar racing platform in Europe. Offering drivers, teams and
manufacturers a realistically priced challenging formula in which
to develop talent, technology and trophy collections, SPEED has
elevated this FIA category of CN sports prototypes from club racing
to a competitive international championship for serious drivers en
route to sportscar competitions around the world and, ultimately, the
Rolex 24 At Daytona.
A multi–marque championship, SPEED features cutting edge 2ltr
Honda–engined sports prototypes generating upwards of 260bhp.
SPEED EuroSeries cars conform to FIA regulations for CN sports
prototypes – Appendix J Article 259 – and are a true racing test for
teams and drivers. Over the last decade over 400 of these Honda
powered chassis have been built; SPEED has taken the massive latent
potential in the category and is now showcasing it on a global scale.
SPEED is immensely proud of its association with Honda and the
current field showcases the engineering excellence of the Japanese
manufacturer which in turn provides SPEED competitors with first
class hospitality at events. With a major Honda FIA World Touring
Car Championship programme planned for the new Honda Civic
over the next 3 years, SPEED will be flying the flag at several WTCC
events in the new season.
SPEED is an endurance racing series with drivers, teams and
manufacturers scoring points towards an overall title. Each race
weekend provides 5 hours or more on track time with free practice
and qualifying sessions before 90 minute, 2 hour and 3 hour races.
The opening event of the year will take place at Monza where
SPEED will have a 2 hour race on the legendary Italian GP circuit.
Rounds 2 & 3 will be at the super–fast Slovakiaring and 4 & 5 in
Austria at the beautiful Salzburgring – both
WTCC meetings. In June SPEED will take
on the mighty challenge of the Nurburgring
as main support to the FIA European Truck
Grand Prix where some 150,000 spectators
regularly rock up for the races. July will see
SPEED’s UK race on the majestic Brands

Hatch GP circuit before the racers take a summer break. Racing
resumes at no lesser track than Spa Francorchamps in Belgium
before the season finale – which will feature a 90 minute race and a 3
hour race – at the fantastic new circuit at Navarra in northern Spain
alongside the high profile SRO race series.
SPEED races see well–known racing brands such as Ligier,
Norma, Wolf, Tatuus, Tiga, Osella and British marque Juno vying
for honours. Many SPEED drivers and teams are also current
participants in Le Mans Series formats and you can expect to see
many of the current crop of young race driving talent starring
at the highest level in years to come. With Le Mans, A1 GP and
former Formula One stars on the grid throughout the season, the
competition is always fierce.
Running on Cooper Tires and Sunoco CF (102 RON, 2.7%

F3 Cup
F3 Cup has become one of the most popular single seater
championships in the UK providing a platform for experienced
racers and aspiring young drivers to showcase their skills in
F3 machinery.
In 2012 the F3 Cup gained championship status from the MSA,
and coupled with rules allowing 2007 specification cars and a wider
use of engines, the category blossomed. F3 Cup regularly attracted
grids in excess of 20 cars producing an extremely competitive
championship battle. The championship will continue to cater for
F3 chassis constructed from 1980 up to and including 2007.
A total of 42 competitors took part in the championship which
came down to the wire with three drivers in contention to become
the inaugural F3 Cup champion at Snetterton 300. Highly rated
young racer Chris Dittmann managed to hold off Tristan Cliffe and
Gino Ussi to win the championship and the prize FIA Formula Two
test drive. He followed in the footsteps of Aaron Steele, who won the
Sunoco GRAND–AM 200 Challenge in 2011, securing him a drive at
the prestigious Daytona Speedway.
The growth of the championship in 2012 was magnified
when Red Bull F1 protégé and 2012 Macau GP winner Antonio
Felix Da Costa took part in the final round at Snetterton 300.
British F3 star Alex Lynn also enjoyed success in the championship
recording a double victory at the European round held at Spa
Francorchamps.
The championship is set to continue its growth in 2013 where
it will visit the UK’s best circuits including Brands Hatch GP,
Silverstone GP and Donington Park GP.
www.f3cup.co.uk
GT Cup
Organisers of the GT Cup have announced a raft of fresh ideas
for the 2013 season. The seven round Championship will provide
nineteen races and feature the most prestigious circuits in the
country.
The format remains ideal for solo drivers, and has also been
subtly tweaked to accommodate two driver team entries. Each two
day round will have one 40 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 forty minute free practice
session, and each day will have a 20 minute qualifying session. One
day rounds will have 30 minute qualifying session and two twentyfive minute sprint races.
Other developments include an update to driver eligibility rules
following a successful appeal to the MSA by the championship
organisers. National ‘B’ race license holders will now be allowed to
enter.
Championship boss, Marc Haynes commented: “We are very
grateful to the MSA as we had to turn away a large number of
experienced drivers last year simply because of license grade issues.
We have put a great deal of time and thought into our plans for the
2013 season and consulted widely with competitors and teams. These
exciting developments will take the GT Cup Championship forward
in a positive way”.
PTCT
The series models itself on the British Touring Car Championship
and acts as the perfect stepping stone for drivers and teams looking
to bridge the gap from club and single make racing to a National
Championship, more powerful cars and greater development
freedom provide a perfect intermediate challenge before taking a
step towards the highest level of saloon car racing in the BTCC.
Drivers in the championship range from young drivers stepping
up from junior or single make championships to seasoned veterans
with multiple years experience in high level saloon racing.
The teams that compete in the Production Touring Car Trophy
include owner drivers who build and develop their cars in a garage,
through to multi–car teams that have or aspire to compete in the
BTCC.
The Production Touring Car Trophy is therefore a perfect
environment for a wide range of drivers and teams.

lack of races for older sports cars and wanted
to stop them being modified, inappropriately,
beyond their original specification or
exported to the USA.
Griffiths and Haig were part of a very
small group who thought historic cars
should be preserved. Today, the Club is
proud to have played a role in making
historic racing the fastest growing part of the
UK racing scene.
2011 marked two notable achievements.
Membership exceeded 1000 for the first time
and the HSCC collected the club of the year
award at the inaugural International Historic

SUNOCO Green E15
Sunoco E85R
SUNOCO 260 GT
SUNOCO 260 GT PLUS
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
R GTL Diesel
A leaded racing fuel designed for exceptionally high performance
two– and four–stroke competition engines generating high cylinder
pressures. It has a very narrow distillation curve and a low final
boiling point to help improve thermal combustion efficiency at high
engine speeds. Sunoco Maximal’s distinctive fast burn characteristics
provide more complete combustion than slower burning fuels in
applications which operate in excess of 10,000 rpm. Available in 25
and 204 litre drums.
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.
A high quality ‘ gas to liquid’ diesel designed to reduce emissions and
consistently provide maximum power. The unique manufacturing
process results in a diesel that is pure, consistent and clean burning.

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 faster–burning fuels
36
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
The effects of oxygen content on fuelling requirements
We get a lot of questions about fuel metering changes required for
oxygenated fuels... and that is a good thing, because racers should be
asking those questions.
Luckily, the answer is not necessarily complicated.
Let’s look at Sunoco EXO2 for instance. It’s a good fuel to use as
an example because it contains 10% (by weight) oxygen. Without
proper fuel enrichment, you won’t find the power you’re hoping for,
and in fact the engine may not even run well.
In simple terms, you should start with adding enough extra
fuel to offset the increased oxygen content. What does that mean? Well, let’s say you were running Supreme which has no oxygen. If
you switch to EXO2, you will need to add approximately 10% more
fuel to offset the 10% oxygen content. The extra oxygen effectively
leans out the air/fuel mixture so you need to add enough fuel to get
the air/fuel mixture back where it belongs. Actually a safe way to
introduce EXO2 to your engine would be to go even richer than you
think the engine needs... remember, engines can tolerate being rich a
lot better than being lean!
OK, so you’re wondering exactly how to get 10% more fuel
into your engine. This is where we, as a fuel manufacturer, have
to take a step back and recommend you talk to your fuel system
manufacturer. Simply put: we make fuel, not carburetors. With so
many companies building carburetors these days we’d go crazy trying
Sunoco_UK
Sunoco UK
to keep track of whose carburetor needs which jets to get 10% more
fuel. Plus we have no way of knowing how rich or lean your engine
is before the switch. So have a conversation with your carb builder if
you need to know how their carbs need to be re–jetted.
Below is an example of the jetting requirements one engine
builder worked through as he switched one of his race engines – a
carbureted small block Chevy – to EXO2. Note that no attempt was
made to run the engine without first installing bigger main jets.
So you can see from the table above that the first jet choice – the
86s – was a little lean compared to where best power was found with
the 90s. Also note that power tapered off a little with the 92s. Bigger
jets were needed to offset the 10% oxygen content... and after some
work on the dyno, the expected power benefits were obtained.
We hope this sheds some light on proper tuning for oxygenated
fuels. Although most race engines are fuel injected we have, for ease
of explanation, used a carburettor example to highlight the oxygen
tuning issues.

Getting the best from your fuel
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.

biGGer Cams neeD beTTer Oil
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 of engine. Driven Racing Oil provides serious oils for serious engines. Here’s the proof:
lifTer Wear TesT resulTs
We hired an independent engine builder to test current “stock oil” specs − API
SN and GM dexos − in a flat tappet, 383c.i. engine to determine the wear results.
Each lifter pictured was broken-in for 30 minutes with Driven BR Break-In Oil,
and then run for 6 hours − cycling between 1,500 RPM and 6,000 RPM − on a
302 duration, .460" lift camshaft with 270 lbs. open valve spring pressure.
The pictures tell the story. The lifters using Driven HR4 show no visible wear
while the lifters using the API SN and GM dexos 1 oils already show wear.

WHaT We Offer
Driven Racing Oils offers three main types of oil for street performance, hot rod, competition/race and small engine/
powersport applications, as well as a line of specialty oils, driveline fluids, cleaners and much more.
• Mineral
42
• Semi-Synthetic
The Driven Engine Assembly Lubes place “fast burn” anti-wear additives on the critical wear surfaces of your engine. Driven BR Break-In
Oil provides high levels of “fast burn” Zinc additives and low levels of
detergents to quickly establish a foundational anti-wear film throughout
your engine. Building this anti-wear film in your engine provides a lower
wear break-in and extends the life of engine parts.
The XP Series of synthetic racing oils adds race proven friction modifiers to lower engine temperatures and increase horsepower. The HR
series of hot rod oils provide storage protection as well as flat tappet
cam protection. Using a system approach to lubrication increases the
level of protection and performance.

While the reduction of Zinc, Phosphorus and Sulfur in today’s motor oils is a significant change, there is more to the
story. Specifically, the detergent additives used in modern oils have also changed. here are some key facts about
Zinc and detergents and how they work.
All of these results point to one thing − the “system” approach works. Using
Driven BR Break-In Oil provides the foundation for protection, and the XP series
of synthetic racing oils build off of that foundation to provide race proven protection. The HR series of high performance oils delivers cam protection for muscle
cars. The new mPAO based oils for GM LS engines, Ford Modular engines, European sports car engines, air-cooled engines and marine engines utilize the same
proprietary protection package as the HR series, so if you have one of these high
performance engines, Driven Racing Oil has an oil to protect it.
Driven Br Break-in Oil
Just like using primer before you paint, the Driven system of lubricants
provides layers of protection for your performance engine and flat tappet camshaft.
ZinC vs. DeTerGenT
We built two identical engines, and broke in one engine using Driven BR BreakIn Oil. The other engine used a different brand of break-in oil. Used oil samples
were taken from each engine after break-in, and the used oil analysis revealed
a 56% reduction in wear metal using Driven BR Break-In oil. Less wear during
break-in means longer engine life.

all ZinC is nOT THe same
The oil additive Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) works because it is a polar molecule, so it is attracted to ferrous
(containing iron) metal surfaces. ZDDP reacts under heat and load to create the 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. The Driven BR Break-In Oil uses a “fast burn” ZDDP that activates quickly.
THe CriTiCal balanCe

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 “fix” a low Zinc (ZDDP) content oil.

Oil does more than just reduce friction and wear. Oil 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 mineral oils, which means synthetics can absorb more
heat from the part. This enables synthetic oils to cool better than mineral oils.

mPAO
Dyno tests show that engines consistently gain one-and-a-half horsepower with the new oil formulations containing mPAO. As you can see, this is
a huge advance in oil technology and
Driven includes it in all of its synthetic oils automatically. Many motor oil
manufacturers, if given the opportunity, would have created a brand-new
product using mPAO and given it an

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

Following this program greatly reduces the contaminants in the

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 mineral 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 all machine failures are
related to contamination, so keeping your oil system clean is 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.
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 will impress anyone who understands the difference between pistons and petunias. 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 just plain works better.
Mineral
PA Crude
GeT mOre frOm yOur Oil
Also, the high temperatures on the valve springs, camshafts and pistons would cause mineral oils to break down
much faster than synthetic oil. Mineral oils begin to break down at 116˚ C, but synthetic oils can handle up to 160˚
C 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. Using the correct
viscosity synthetic oil provides extra “insurance” against heat related engine wear and damage. To choose the
correct viscosity for your application, turn to page 49.

by incorporating mPAO, the most innovative synthetic
base oil available, into all of its engine oils

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.
Case of 12 US quarts (0.946lt).
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.

A semi-synthetic 10W-40 racing oil based on our proven XP5 racing oil. Ideal
for desert and off-road engines, IMCA modified engines, spec engines, flat
tappet camshafts and hydraulic lifter engines. Designed for clearances under
.0030. viscosity typical of Sae 10W-40.
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 – 38°C, 104°C and 149°C. 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.
mineral
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 effect oil selection, please visit www.drivenracingoil.com.

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.
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.

WHy use HOT rOD Oil?
Modern API certified oils are designed to protect emissions control equipment like catalytic converters. Driven Hot Rod Oil is
designed to protect your camshaft. With high levels of ZDDP to protect your engine, it delivers the chemistry that classic cars,
muscle cars and historic racers need. Because these cars are not daily drivers, Driven Hot Rod Oil also delivers storage protection additives to guard your engine from rust and corrosion. These additives also prevent dry starts. Developed specifically for
older cars, no other oil provides this unique combination of lubricant chemistry.
Modern engine designs and oils have done a great job of reducing emissions and
protecting emissions control equipment. However, modern oils have played havoc
on older engines. The reduction in emissions in modern cars has coincided with a
reduction in traditional anti-wear additives (i.e. Zinc Dithiophosphates) in modern oils.
While this is great for the environment, it is bad news for your flat tappet camshaft.
As stated in the book Lubrication Fundamentals,”In heavily loaded applications, flat
tappet cam followers operate on partial oil films at least part of the time. Lubricants
with anti-wear additives are necessary if rapid wear and surface distress are to be
avoided. The oil additive Zinc Dithiophosphate is to provide anti-wear activity for the
camshaft and lifters.”

When you are trying to go as fast as possible on the track, Driven Racing Oil has the products you need to protect your
engine and squeeze out a few more HP at just the right time. 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 the oil begins to smell like fuel, you should change it.
CsP − COOlanT sysTem PrOTeCTOr
Impurities in normal water can cause rust and corrosion inside the radiator, water pump and
cylinder heads, and this can lead to a loss of cooling efficiency. Driven Coolant System Protector stops the adverse effect of hard water better than the leading brand of coolant additives.
• NITROUS: Xp4 − The high Zinc, Mineral formula is perfect for big cubic inch nitrous engines. The 15W-50 viscosity handles the
high loads from the added power, and Xp4 provides excellent ring sealing to put that power to use.
12 oz. Bottle
• BRACkET RACING: Xp4 and Xp8 − Consistency and Protection − these oils deliver both. When you are dialing an index, you
don’t need extra power. You just need consistent performance and protection. The high zinc formula of Xp8 provides the protection, and the 5W-30 viscosity provides consistent performance. The Xp8 does not thin out too much as you run rounds, so the
engine stays consistent.

Hvl − HiGH visCOsiTy lubriCanT
High Viscosity Lubricant (HVL) provides a tenacious yet fluid film to protect reciprocating and
rotating components during assembly and initial break-in. This non-foaming product mixes with
the break-in oil and extends film thickness during the critical break-in process. Can be added to
regular oil to increase film thickness. Apply to engine bearings, piston skirts, bushings, oil pump
gears, etc. This will not harden or cause parts to become “sticky.”
• HEADS UP & QUALIFYING: Xp0, Xp10, Xp2 − When you need to go as fast as you can, Driven Racing Oil provides full synthetic
qualifying oils that deliver HP. Plus, these oils can be blended to fine tune the viscosity in order to achieve optimum performance.
CirCle TraCk & rOaD raCinG
Performance and durability, Driven Racing Oil has the products you need to protect your engine and squeeze out a few
more HP at the same time. Endurance racing engines see high oil temperatures, so the oil must be able to resist thermal
breakdown while allowing moisture from cooling the engine and fuel dilution to evaporate out of the oil system. We recommend changing the oil filter after each race weekend. When the oil begins to change color or the oil begins to smell like
fuel, you should change the oil.
• ALCOHOL FUELS: Xp6 and Xp9 − The full synthetic, mPAO based formula is perfect for alcohol fueled engines. The mPAO
base oil can handle the high loads and high oil temperatures without breaking down. This allows the alcohol fuel and moisture to
evaporate out of the engine. The 15W-50 viscosity of the Xp6 is perfect for aluminum block engines, and the 10W-40 viscosity
of the Xp9 is perfect for iron block engines.
• RACE GAS: Formulated with special bearing passivators to protect against corrosion when using leaded race fuels, Driven
Racing Oil provides a wide variety of viscosities to dial in the performance of your engine. The mPAO base oil can handle the
high loads and high oil temperatures without breaking down. The proprietary formula of friction modifiers delivers proven HP
gains without compromising durability. Xp1, Xp2, Xp3, Xp6, Xp9.
8 oz. Bottle
• SPEC RACING: Extra Advantage − When you race in a spec engine class, you need every advantage you can muster. Driven
Racing Oil delivers mPAO based synthetic formulas that deliver a horsepower edge and lower foaming tendency for improved
hydraulic lifter response. Xp2 − Ford Focus; Xp1 − gM 602 Crate, Spec Miata, Formula Ford; Xp3 − gM 604 Crate,

Durability in extreme conditions, Driven Racing Oil has the products to protect your engine from extreme temperatures and
extreme environments. 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 mineral formula oils deliver outstanding wear
protection at a price that allows for frequent oil changes.
raCe Wax
Race Wax leaves a smooth, glossy finish that helps shed tire rubber and dirt. It is
a perfect product for race cars with full decal wraps and fiberglass body cars. The
clean and shine from Race Wax makes your car look sharp, and it makes clean up
quick and easy without damaging the decal, paint or windows.

• 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.
• MINERAL: Xp4 − In very dirty and very high fuel dilution environments, the best plan of action is changing 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.

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.
Suitable for:
Racing
Rallying
Sprinting
Hill Climbs
Time Attack
Endurance
Drag
Track Days
Autotests
Karting
Race and rally schools

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

No sooner had Kleers launched its range of market leading car care products in spring 2010, the company
began to develop a brand new range designed specifically for motorsport applications. Surprisingly,
motorsport is a sector that has never been directly targeted by car care product manufacturers and
Kleers now leads the way in developing new lines to fulfil the needs of competitors, teams and car
owners.

What the
drivers say
64
“I use Kleers Helmet Sanitiser Spray every time I use my helmet. It’s the first thing I do when I take
it off and it keeps it really fresh. I cannot recommend this product enough.”
Richard Westbrook: Twice Porsche Carrera Cup Champion; twice Porsche Super Cup Champion;
professional GT driver: Le Mans, ALMS and FIA GT Championships.
“Kleers Sanitiser Spray really works well. It gives the helmet a nice smell and the sensation of being
fresh and clean, even after a big race day.”
Enrique Bernoldi: Formula 1 driver: Sauber, Arrows, BAR-Honda; professional driver in FIA World
GT Championship, IndyCar Championship, Champ Cars and Touring Cars.
“My crash helmet is the one piece of my race equipment that can’t be washed easily. So
after hours of sitting in a hot car, keeping the lining as fresh is a real challenge. Kleers
Crash Helmet Sanitiser does the job and manages to keep the odours at bay.”
Peter Dumbreck: Professional driver: Le Mans, DTM, GT and FIA World Endurance Championship.
Another product developed by Kleers especially for the racetrack. At high
speeds it doesn't take long before rubber ‘marbles’ and other airborne
objects find their way onto the bodywork and forward-facing components.
More often than not, these unwanted items are difficult to remove. But a
liberal spray of Kleers Marble and Bug Remover, which should be left for 15
seconds before wiping off, will provide a quick and easy solution to an ageold problem.

Returns/Refund policy
On receipt of an order, we will refund the cost of the products
providing we are notified within the statutory 7 day cooling off

handling charge may be applied for this service outside this 7 day
period. Products cannot be returned, if the tamper evident seals on
drums or oil bottles have been broken. We will not cover any return
freight cost.
Damaged goods on arrival
If the goods were damaged before they reached you, we will either
refund the cost in full along with the carriage costs, or arrange for a
replacement order to be sent, free of charge.
Faulty products
In the unlikely event of a genuine manufacturing fault, a full refund
for parts and carriage costs will be issued.
Payment
Orders can be accepted over the telephone, by email, fax or via our
website. Payment must be made in full, prior to dispatch, by credit/
debit card or via cheque or bank transfer.

Ownership or Title to the product shall not pass to the buyer until
Anglo American Oil Company has received payment in full. In the
event that sums owing in respect of other items ordered remain due,
apportionment by this company shall take place without prejudice to
the right to retain title or ownership in respect of all goods ordered.
Delivery time scale
The freight companies we use offer a standard 3 day delivery service
or at additional cost, the option of a next day service throughout
the majority of the UK. We cannot accept responsibility for orders
that are delayed in transit. Due to their hazardous nature, all fuel
orders must be signed for on delivery. All routine deliveries are made
during Monday to Friday. Saturday deliveries may be possible, at
extra cost.
