ENEOS in the Spotlight in Global Rallycross Championship 

 

ENEOS is Sponsoring Samuel Hubinette Racing in the 2012 Global RallyCross Championship

JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp. has entered into a sponsorship contract with Samuel Hubinette for six races of the 2012 Global RallyCar Championship. JX Nippon Oil & Energy's leading brand, ENEOS, will be title sponsor of these six races, including the X Games on June 30th and July 1st 2012.

 

In this sponsorship, ENEOS will be the title sponsor of Samuel Hubinette in the Scott-Eklund Racing SAAB 9-3. The vehicle has received a complete redesign with the trademark ENEOS Logo and ENEOS orange/ red colors taking the spotlight on the vehicle and the driver's uniform.

Nicknamed the "Crazy Swede", Hubinette has been racing since he was 16 and has competed in RallyCross, Formula D, D1GP, Touring Car Racing for Volvo and has taught at the Skip Barber Racing School. He is a two-time FORMULA DRIFT Champion as well as the bronze medal winner for the 2010 X-Game. Read more about Samuel Hubinette at the team's official website http://www.hubinetteracing.com/shr/.

 

The Global Rallycross Championship is a new sport combining the best elements of rallycross and the X Games. 5 to 10 drivers line up to start at once, each piloting 500+ hp compact cars through race traffic over a challenging short course that features jumps and transitions between pavement and gravel. Actual finish order determines advancement through a series of heat eliminations until the main event. The action is non-stop and strategy is critical. Some call it the four-wheeled version of SuperCross. The sport features high-flying extreme competition between cars that, we feel, are relevant to our ENEOS Fans.

 

ENEOS will be the title sponsor for all of these events this season. Look for these events on one of your ESPN Networks.
