Australian owned and operated fuel supply company RaceFuels has become the control fuel distribution, representing world-renowned companies Total, for the GT World Challenge Asia over the next three years.

For RaceFuels, the leading racing fuel supplier for all levels of Australian motorsport, this deal represents its first major international fuel supply agreement, expanding its trusted and efficient distribution onto the global scene.

“We really are proud of our involvement and heritage in the Australian motorsport scene, and it is a privilege to be nominated by Total to represent our skillset on the world stage with the GT World Challenge Asia,” said Race Fuels Pty Ltd director Mark Tierney.

“We are excited to be recognised as a world-class provider with our unique fuel delivery service and we are all looking forward to the new challenges.”

The GT World Challenge Asia is the preeminent GT class through Asia, with six events visiting iconic circuits such as Sepang (Malaysia), Shanghai (China), and Suzuka (Japan).

The series has already captured the attention of Australian teams and competitors, with Triple Eight Racing Engineering, featuring star driver Shane van Gisbergen, entering its Mercedes AMG.

RaceFuels is planning scheduled deliveries to each GT World Challenge Asia team, preventing over supply and improving compliance and safety.

“RaceFuel’s methodology is scheduled fuel delivery service in which teams have their allocated fuel requirements delivered to their pit area,” Tierney said.

“This takes away the guess work in calculations from the teams and it improves circuit storage and compliance.”

RaceFuels offers this same level of hands on service to racing categories such as the Supercars Championship, Porsche Australian Carrera Cup and Australian GT.

The team at RaceFuels, will deliver fuel at over 40 events in 2020, including all levels – from the Supercars and Shannons Nationals to state and club level competition.

It has been a high-profile start to the year for RaceFuels, the GT World Challenge Asia, announcement coming shortly after RaceFuels supplied the Total racing fuel at the Asia Le Mans Series round at The Bend in January and during a major fuel operation at the Bathurst 12 Hour, meanwhile RaceFuels is planning the supply to all support categories at the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park next month.
