SEPANG: Leading oil company Petron Malaysia has been named the official fuel and engine oil partner of the Formula 4 South East Asia (F4/SEA) Championship final leg in Malaysia from Jan 20-22.

The Formula 4 South East Asia is certified by the Federation Internationale de PAutomobile or FIA, the International sanctioning and administrative body for motorsport created for young drivers around the world to step up to the world championship of single-seat racing.

As the fuel and engine oil partner, Petron will fuel F4 cars with its high performance petrol, Blaze 100 Euro 4M and high technology engine oil Blaze Racing Fully Synthetic during the 3-day finale championship. This is the first time Petron will provide fuel and lubricants for a formula racing motorsport.

The final round of the F4/SEA will see the FIA-F4 homologated race cars complemented with Petron Blaze Racing engine oil for an optimum engine protection.

Promoted by the Asian Autosport Action (AAA) group, the F4/SEA offers a cost-effective first step to an FIA - certified career ladder in formula racing. The F4/SEA program focuses on driver
experience and development by ensuring a level playing field in a one make FIA single-operator Championship using FIA-F4 homologated race cars and engines.

The 2016 F4/SEA calendar kicked off last August with the first event at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia and continued the series in The Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan and Thailand before concluding in Malaysia this weekend.

Blaze Racing is blended with a "Thermal Stress Stabilising System" (TS3), which Petron said stabilises the oil at extreme temperatures and engine stress. It said the engine oil is suited to most modern vehicles including high performance cars.

Petron made its mark launching the first and only 100RON petrol locally a year ago. Blaze 100 is made with TriAction Advantage - a triple-action formula that Petron said delivers better power, better engine protection and better mileage. The fuel is produced at its Port Dickson refinery.

"We are honoured to partner with F4/SEA as its fuel and lubricants partner. This partnership is another milestone for us in gaining a foothold in motorsports, where it is a perfect testbed for our superior fuel products. We are proud to introduce our most advanced product
innovation Blaze 100 and Blaze Racing engine oil to the world racing championship," said Petron retail chief Faridah Ali.
