As an integral part of the Australian motorsports landscape Sinopec are proud to be sponsors of the 2011 V8 Championship showing their support at both the Trading Post Perth Challenge in Perth, the Skycity Triple Crown in Darwin and for a second year in a row Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

Racing enthusiasts saw Sinopec on track signage at the Trading Post Challenge for the first time, generating fantastic coverage both on television and from the grandstand. After causing a stir at the 2010 Supercheap Auto Bathurst, Sinopec’s sponsorship of the 2011 Bathurst series is set to do the same, with abundance of on-and-off track activity!

Sinopec’s Director of Brand Management, Mr. Pi, commented that “Sinopec’s sponsorship of the 2010 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 was very successful for Sinopec, it was great to be involved in such an iconic Australian event! We will definitely be involved in supporting the series in 2011. Sinopec has a strategy of becoming a regular and recognizable feature in Australian motorsport. We are supporting the sport and our sponsored drivers, including Michael Patrizi in the #29 Porsche as part of the Porsche Carrera Cup series”.

The success of the Trading Post Challenge and with Darwin’s Skycity Triple Crown and Bathurst soon approaching, Sinopec will look to have a strong presence within the V8 industry in 2011 and have a more permanent one in years to come.
