<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Oil</strong><br />
<strong>Company</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong><br />
Celebrating 15 years of trading<br />
Product catalogue 2014<br />
Specialist supplier of racing fuels and oils
Products for racers from racers<br />
Brand values<br />
When we started the company 15 years ago, I<br />
could not have imagined where we would be<br />
today. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>Company</strong> is still a<br />
family owned business that represents some<br />
of the greatest racing brands in the world. Sunoco, with its<br />
established name and history, is the largest manufacturer<br />
of race fuels in the world. Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong>, which has only<br />
been on the market for 10 years, has grown to be the “must<br />
have” oil for racing amongst those who understand oils and<br />
want to reach the finishing line, all the time, every time. Last<br />
year we added Kleers motorsport range to our portfolio, and<br />
as with every product that we introduce, we strongly believe<br />
that they fit our business objectives, whilst also adding<br />
something extra for our customers.<br />
When the company was formed I was racing in the Renault<br />
Spider Championship and although I never had the<br />
opportunity to be a professional racer, I enjoyed it so much<br />
so that I decided to make a living out of my passion. I also<br />
wanted to give a chance to racers that may not have had<br />
enough funds to race on a professional level an opportunity<br />
to compete. It took over 10 years before we could action<br />
what is now known today as the Sunoco Daytona<br />
Challenges. The success of the recent Sunoco Challenges<br />
has been proved with two young racers, Bradley Smith and<br />
Lewis Plato from Billericay in Essex. Racing for Bradley’s<br />
family run Mectech racing team, they did the impossible,<br />
with Bradley winning the 2014 Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona<br />
Challenge and Lewis winning the Sunoco IMSA 200<br />
Challenge, both having raced Radical sports cars to win! We<br />
wish them both good luck in Daytona, maybe this will be<br />
the year when they both step onto the top of the podium?<br />

Sunoco<br />
For decades, Sunoco’s fuels have been associated with racing<br />
excellence. Since the mid–60s, when Sunoco and the Roger Penske<br />
Racing Team with Mark Donahue forged what would be a long<br />
and successful alliance, the company has grown into an industry<br />
powerhouse.<br />
Today, Sunoco has expanded the reach of its racing fuels line<br />
around the world to include all types of professional motor sports<br />
and other activities where premium racing fuels make a difference.<br />
As the largest manufacturer and refiner of racing fuels in the world,<br />
Sunoco has a 40–year track record of winning performances.<br />
With an expanded product line, Sunoco offers drivers more<br />
choices than ever before. Sunoco blends everyone of its race<br />
fuels in–house, then, it analyses and tests each batch under strict<br />
laboratory conditions. This ensures that you receive a reliable,<br />
high-quality racing gasoline every time.<br />

Kleers<br />
After two years of research and introduction Kleers car care<br />
products was launched in 2010. Since then its products have<br />
received praise and acclaim on a global scale and consequently<br />
more innovative ideas in car care were introduced. 2012 saw the<br />
development of the Kleers motorsport range; a series of intelligent<br />
products that are aimed at racers and teams that compete in all<br />
forms of motorsport – either at a professional or amateur level.<br />

IMSA Explained<br />
Autosport & Sunoco Daytona Trip<br />
IMSA explained<br />
With IMSA, the International Motor Sports Association has a long history as the<br />
premier sanctioning body for sports car competition in North America and was<br />
founded in 1969 by John Bishop with the assistance of NASCAR president Bill France<br />
Sr. The first IMSA sanctioned race grew into the series that became known at the<br />
IMSA GT series, adding prototype sports cars in the 1980s which proved a huge<br />
success through the years.<br />
Built 1958, 3.56<br />
miles road course,<br />
31 degree banking,<br />
total infield area<br />
180 acres<br />
The GRAND-AM Road racing association ran 14 exciting seasons of sports car competition in North America, with a radical step in 2003<br />
where it introduced the Daytona Prototype as its lead class. We also saw the ALMS racing, from 1999, building a loyal group of followers.<br />
Whilst both series were successful on their own, it became apparent that they would need to combine in order to grow the sport. In<br />
September 2012 the two groups announced they would merge into one organization, to begin in the 2014 season, and that the unified<br />
series would be sanctioned by IMSA. It is hoping thisnew exciting chapter will provide an even better experience for sports car enthusiasts.<br />
IMSA’s TUDOR United SportsCar Championship opens with a pair of historic events – the Rolex 24 At Daytona and Mobil 1 Twelve<br />
Hours of Sebring fueled by Fresh from Florida – building on the vision of John Bishop and Bill France Sr. from 45 years ago.<br />
Tudor United SportsCar Championship<br />
Prototype Class (P)<br />
The P class combines GRAND-AM Daytona Prototypes, ALMS P2<br />
and DeltaWing cars. The Prototype class features the fastest and most<br />
technologically advanced cars in North America, capable of speeds in<br />
excess of 200 mph.<br />
Prototype Challenge Class (PC)<br />
This is retained from the current ALMS class structure, the PC is a<br />
spec class featuring open top race cars and technology such as carbon<br />
fiber chassis, carbon brakes and a sequential gearbox.<br />
Additional IMSA Classes<br />

but are still based on production models. A true proving ground for<br />
leading manufacturers, GTLM cars are capable of speeds in excess of<br />
180 mph.<br />

What else would you be doing in January?<br />
To fight the cold and wet weather of Northern Europe, what could<br />
be better than visiting Florida to attend the Rolex 24 At Daytona?<br />
It is not only on the most exciting races we have been to, where you<br />
can spot some of your favourite stars of the racing world, but it also<br />
gives you the chance to see cars finishing within a fraction of second<br />
of each other, soaking up thewarm Florida sunshine, recharging<br />
your batteries and enjoy the atmosphere of such an historic event, in<br />
preparation for the European racing season in April.<br />
The Sunoco Challenge<br />
For the last 5 years the Sunoco Daytona Challenge has been<br />
introducing a winner from our top Sunoco fuelled championships<br />
into the highest level of <strong>American</strong> Sports car racing and awarding<br />
them a seat in a Daytona Prototype by giving them the chance of a<br />
lifetime to showcase their skills in front of a crowd of over<br />
50,000 people.<br />
Bradley Smith is the overall season winner who will take part in the<br />
Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge, provided by Daytona and<br />
promoted by <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>Company</strong>. Last year Ivan Bellarosa<br />
was our overall 2012 season winner.<br />
Three years ago we introduced the Sunoco GRAND-AM<br />
Challenge for the rest of our control fuel championships, with<br />
Bradleys team mate, Lewis Plato, winning the seat this year in the<br />
200 mile challenge in a Chevrolet Camaro, so needless to say we are<br />
hoping for an exciting weekend!<br />
Join us<br />
Sports fans can only dream of standing in the huddle at a<br />
professional football game or sitting in a Major League Baseball<br />
dugout. Yet in sports car racing, the spectators become part of the<br />
action throughout an event weekend, right up until the green flag<br />
waves to start the competition!<br />
Going to the Rolex 24 At Daytona is easier than what you think.<br />
Virgin Atlantic flies from Gatwick or Manchester to Orlando from<br />
around £450, you can then pick up the hire car from £120, and<br />
then just drive for 75 minutes and you too could be on the famous<br />
Daytona Beach! We also recommend Fountain Beach hotel, situated<br />
on the beach and is around 10 minutes from the Speedway, for<br />
around £55 per night (2 sharing), including breakfast.<br />
We have organised a ticket package, which includes in-field<br />
tickets, garage access, a behind the scenes tour of the facilities, a<br />
welcome breakfast and beer and pizza evening – all for only £98!<br />

Sunoco Rolex 24 At<br />
Daytona Challenge<br />
2013 final standings<br />
Bradley Smith 115.71pts<br />
5 years of success proved that once in a lifetime opportunities do exist –<br />
Radical SR3 Challenge Champion Bradley Smith proved his worth in 2013<br />
Bradley Smith convincingly won the Radical SR3 Challenge in 2013<br />
in only his second full year of car racing and in doing so also secured<br />
enough average points to smash the opposition in the 2014 Sunoco<br />
Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge. Bradley, our 5th winner, will take to<br />
the wheel of a Daytona Prototype at the 2014 Rolex 24 At Daytona<br />
in the first ever IMSA race where ALMS and GRAND-AM race on a<br />
merged grid.<br />
Bradley, from Billericay in Essex, England, first started racing<br />
karts at the age of eight where he always had dad Mike as the<br />
engineer, the team manager and coach on his side. After Super One<br />
they ventured out in Europe for several years to hone Bradley’s<br />
technical skills and race craft before returning home to buy a Radical<br />
SR3 for the 2012 season. Naturally Bradley was run by the family<br />
team, Mectech Motorsport, which resulted in Bradley winning the<br />
2012 Radical Clubman’s Cup before moving up to what has become<br />
one of the most fiercely contested one make sports prototype<br />
championships in the world - the Radical SR3 Challenge! Bradley<br />
squashed the lap record at the first Snetterton race and continued his<br />
winning pace throughout the season winning 12 out of 14 races (the<br />
two he didn’t win were interrupted by safety cars which hampered<br />
his progress through the field after the mandatory pit stops), with<br />
numerous fastest laps and pole positions won against some of the<br />
fastest pro-drivers today.<br />
The Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge has tickled the<br />
imagination of nearly 400 racers that have challenged each other<br />
over the last 5 years including stars such as Daniel Ricciardo (second<br />
in 2010), Jean-Eric Vergne (second in 2011), Felipe Nasr (won<br />
in 2011), the late Allan Simonsen and Nick Tandy but also over<br />
200 amateur racers from all over Europe.The Sunoco Rolex 24 At<br />
Daytona Challenge is provided by Daytona and promoted by <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>American</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>Company</strong> and in 2013 was available for racers in the<br />
Radical SR3 Challenge, the Radical European Masters and the MSA<br />
British Endurance Championship.<br />
The Prize consists of 2 exclusive test days at Daytona, 3 test days<br />
at the Roar before the Rolex 24 and of course the big race itself - the<br />
mighty 2014 Rolex 24 At Daytona. Included in the prize are also all<br />
flights, hotel plus a dedicated Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona race suit.<br />
Bradley will race a Daytona Prototype for one of the big teams, with<br />
the great opportunity to step on to the top of the podium and bring<br />
home the much coveted Rolex Daytona watch.<br />
The Sunoco Rolex 24 At<br />
Daytona Challenge prize:<br />
• Full test programme leading up to the<br />
race in Daytona<br />
• All flights and hotels included<br />
• A race seat with a top team in a Daytona<br />
Prototype at the Rolex 24 At Daytona<br />

Sunoco 200 Challenge<br />
Sunoco 200 Challenge<br />
2013 final standings<br />
Lewis Plato 109.06pts<br />
Sunoco 200 Challenge<br />
Introduced in 2011 as a challenge for club racers the Sunoco 200 Challenge<br />
continues to thrill racers from all over the world<br />
As with the Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge, eligible racers<br />
that have signed up for the Sunoco 200 Challenge get points from<br />
where they finish: 100 points for a race win, down to 5 points for<br />
tenth position plus 20 points awarded for fastest laps and pole<br />
position individually. The points are then divided by the number of<br />
races in the racer’s season to create an average score, then the highest<br />
point scorer wins a place in the race.<br />
Included in the prize are flights, hotel rooms, race suit and three<br />
days of testing at the Roar Before The Rolex 24 and of course the race<br />
itself! Racers from the Radical Clubman’s Cup, MINI Challenge JCW<br />
Class, F3 Cup, GT Cup, Britcar Production Cup and the Dutch<br />
Supercar Challenge fought for the prize drive.<br />
In total over 100 racers challenged for the Sunoco 200 Challenge,<br />
of which the closest was Chris Smiley in the JCW MINI Challenge<br />
who was very close to winning, but as Lewis Plato upped his speed at<br />
the same time as Chris suffered some ‘bad luck’ (race incidents etc.),<br />
he managed to steal the big prize with just one round to go!<br />
The Sunoco Rolex 24 At Daytona Challenge has produced five<br />
worthy winners since it was created by Jim France and Anders<br />
Hildebrand. The Sunoco 200 Challenge (formerly known as the<br />
Sunoco GRAND-AM 200 Challenge) is now bringing its third<br />
challenger to get the chance of a lifetime to race on the famous<br />
Daytona International Speedway’s 31 degree banking. Lewis<br />
Plato, team mate to Bradley Smith, in a Mectech run Radical SR3,<br />
dominated the Radical Clubman’s Cup (after he learnt how to get off<br />
the start line that is) in his first year of racing and will now, as part of<br />
his prize, race a flame spitting V8 powered Chevrolet Camaro on the<br />
Friday before the Rolex 24 At Daytona which runs alongside all of<br />
the razzmatazz of the big race!<br />
The Continental series BMW Performance 200 race, as it is called,<br />
is divided into two classes, the ST (Street Tuner) and the big GS<br />
(Grand Sport) class where Lewis will compete in the Camaro against<br />
Aston Martins, Porsches, Mustangs and other sports and muscle<br />
cars. The race itself is 200 miles long (hence the name) and many of<br />
the racers in the Rolex 24 use the race to get up to speed. The grid<br />
holds up to 90 cars, so Lewis will be extremely busy behind the wheel<br />
and therefore it will be absolutely key is to keep the car in one piece<br />
until the final 30 minutes, where he will then be able to challenge for<br />
the win.<br />
In 2013 Lawrence Davey was running as high as sixth place, but<br />
later dropped down to 23rd after a “cuddle” with an Aston Martin<br />
put the left rear wheel out of alignment, although finally finished<br />
less than 25 seconds from the winner, so this contest is, as you might<br />
understand, a very intensive race.<br />
The revamped Sunoco 200 Challenge will continue for the 2014<br />
season and again provide an up-and-coming racer the opportunity to<br />
race over 4,000 miles away from the comfort of his homeland. Maybe<br />
your talent is such so that you will be picked up by a team manager<br />
and your dream becomes reality, or it may just be one of the best<br />
race weekends ever! Whatever happens - we will continue to provide<br />
opportunities for Sunoco fuelled championships for years ahead.<br />

How we deliver fuel<br />
How we deliver fuel<br />
How we deliver fuel<br />
Our wide range of race fuels are supplied to<br />
our customers in a wide variety of ways<br />
Control fuel supplier<br />
A number of race series have chosen us as their control fuel supplier.<br />
This means that all racers must use the nominated fuel for all races.<br />
We support these series by being on site across the whole race<br />
weekend, including any official test days.<br />
Fuel is delivered to each competitor in drums and we collect any<br />
empties after the meeting has finished. Spare fuel is always available<br />
and unused, sealed drums can be returned. We test fuel samples on<br />
site with our own FTIR infrared spectrometer, which produces a<br />
very accurate chemical graph of the fuel, which is compared against<br />
a reference sample.<br />
The advantages to a series of running a control race fuel are:<br />
• Our very consistent race fuels help protect engines from detonation<br />
worries and reduce component wear<br />
• Creates a level playing field for all the competitors<br />
• Removes the legal issues that teams or individuals can face when<br />
transporting large volumes of fuel<br />
• Forecourt petrol stations limit the amount of fuel that they will sell<br />
in cans. Although not enforced at all forecourts, this can make the<br />
collection of large volumes of fuel not only time consuming but<br />
difficult<br />
• We work closely with the series organisers to develop a range of<br />
joint marketing iniatives<br />
Official fuel supplier<br />
Some series prefer to leave fuel as a free choice for the competitors,<br />
but like the option to have our support at their events, for those<br />
racers who like to use a race fuel. Our service operates in exactly the<br />
same way as a control fuel arrangement, apart from the fact that no<br />
testing is carried out and marketing support is reduced.<br />
Pumped service events<br />
We have been working within the historic market since 2004 offering<br />
a leaded fuel service with 100 RON and 105RON fuels available for<br />
sale by the litre.<br />
We are the official fuel supplier to the Masters Series, HSCC<br />
and HRDC, supporting all their UK events and selected European<br />
rounds as well. Competitors are free to source their own fuel, but an<br />
increasing number choose to use our service. Our fuels remove the<br />
need to use other octane or lead replacement additives, which can<br />
if over treated, cause misfiring. Mixing the 105RON with pump fuel<br />
will also give a very cost effective race fuel, which will offer good<br />
levels of protection for a comparatively low compression race engine.<br />
The recent trend within the rally community has been to move to<br />
controlled refuelling using mobile refueling equipment operated by<br />
a professional team, within a dedicated area. This has been driven by<br />
a number of factors, not least the desire by event organisers to limit<br />
the damaging effect on the local environment in terms of possible fuel<br />
spills and empty cans being left behind. We have been servicing the<br />
British Rally Championship since 2008 providing a range of fuels by<br />
the litre.<br />
Pallet service<br />
For a limited number of series, we arrange to have all fuel orders<br />
delivered to the race event by pallet service, for the series themselves<br />
to take delivery and distribute amongst the racers.<br />
Works well for low volume events and removes the need for teams<br />
to transport their own fuel.<br />
Home delivery<br />
Our biggest group of customers are those that order fuel by phone,<br />
email, internet or fax to our office. We are happy to send a single 25<br />
litre drum or orders making up several pallets, using our hazardous<br />
transport partner, Clarke Transport, who operate a 3 day or next day<br />
service for any orders processed before midday.<br />

Radical Sportscars is the world’s largest manufacturer of trackday<br />
and sports-racing cars, based in the UK but selling over 250 cars<br />
per year to over 30 countries worldwide. The <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Oil</strong><br />
<strong>Company</strong> is the official race fuel partner of Radical Sportscars for its<br />
European and UK domestic race championships.<br />
The Radical Masters Euroseries, SR3 Challenge, Clubman’s Cup<br />
and SR1 Cup have gone from strength-to-strength in 2013 with<br />
packed grids and thrilling racing, both feats set to continue in 2014.<br />
RADICAL MASTERS EUROSERIES<br />
Radical’s premier pan-European endurance race series has visited the<br />
Continent’s fastest and most challenging Grand Prix circuits in 2013<br />
with a calendar that kicked off early in March at Portimao. The everpopular<br />
Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps and Circuit de Catalunya<br />
featured alongside Paul Ricard and Monza making a welcome return.<br />
The Masters Euroseries features two classes for the SR8 RX and<br />
SR3 RS respectively; in the former Masters Class, Brazilian former<br />
single-seater ace Victor Correa had to wait until the very last round<br />
to seal his title and wash pushed hard throughout the season by 2012<br />
champion Konstantin Calko. After the final round the pair were split<br />
by just four points with the Marks Electrical Racing duo of Tony<br />
Wells/James Littlejohn third in class.<br />
Radical UK Works Team driver James Abbott sealed the<br />
Supersports Class and overall championship honours in his SR3 RS<br />
with incredible consistency and pace throughout the season. Nine<br />
class wins, five pole positions and five fastest laps ensured he was<br />
never headed, although last year’s UK Cup champion Colin Noble<br />
and Czech racers Bronislav Formanek/Josef Zaruba weren’t far<br />
behind.<br />
In 2014 the Radical Masters Euroseries will once again enjoy an<br />
unbeatable calendar of world-class race circuits running alongside<br />
the well-promoted GT Sport package, and will continue to offer<br />
the same exciting 50-minute endurance race format for one or two<br />
drivers per car.<br />
RADICAL SR3 CHALLENGE<br />
Radical’s UK domestic endurance championship enjoyed a revised<br />
format and a new name in 2013, changing from the Radical UK Cup<br />
to the Radical SR3 Challenge. Britain’s fastest single-make formula<br />
has welcomed some extremely experienced sportscar, BTCC and<br />
single-seater stars to the Radical family, alongside gentleman drivers<br />
of all levels of experience to create a fascinating and close-fought title<br />
battle.<br />
Young Billericay racer Bradley Smith has undoubtedly been the<br />
class of the 2013 field with 12 outright wins seeing him wrap up<br />
the title in the penultimate round. Not only does Smith win an SR8<br />
RX drive in the Radical Masters Euroseries as his prize but also the<br />
Sunoco Rolex 24 at Daytona Challenge which will see him drive a<br />
Daytona Prototype in January 2014.<br />
He wasn’t the only race winner in 2013 though. At Oulton Park<br />
Andy Cummings and ex-British GT champ Bradley Ellis notched up<br />
a victory whilst at Snetterton Peter Belshaw and Phil Keen took a win<br />
for Marks Electrical. Throughout the season the racing has been fast<br />
and furious. Expect more of the same in 2014 as the same great SR3<br />
Challenge format continues to grow and mature.<br />
RADICAL CLUBMAN’S CUP<br />
The evergreen Radical Clubman’s Cup has enjoyed grids of<br />
over 30 cars throughout 2013 ensuring close racing and a tight<br />
championship battle between the Supersport and Prosport classes.<br />
Despite missing the opening round at Snetterton eventual champion<br />
Jesper Westerholm was straight on the pace at Brands Hatch to battle<br />
with Supersports class victor Lewis Plato throughout the season,<br />
trading places at every race.<br />
At the season’s end Westerholm had taken the Clubman’s Cup by<br />
just five points from Plato to secure a drive in the SR3 Challenge.<br />
Plato has the Sunoco-supported GRAND-AM 200 Challenge prize<br />
to look forward to in January, thanks to his consistently high class<br />
results through the season.<br />
There’ll be even more thrills and spills in 2014 with the addition<br />
of the SR1 Cup class for drivers progressing from Radical’s entrylevel<br />
championship but still enjoying the same great 20-minute sprint<br />
format races...roll on the first round.<br />
RADICAL SR1 CUP<br />
The Radical SR1 Cup has been THE great success story of UK<br />
motorsport in 2013. To launch a new ‘championship-in-a-box’ concept<br />
for novice racers to gain all the experience, confidence and racecraft<br />
they need to compete successfully, and witness 24 eager racers enter<br />
Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch for the first time has been a<br />
fantastic achievement.<br />
The SR1 Cup package includes a brand-new Le Mans-inspired SR1<br />
Cup racecar, intensive dedicated trackday tuition, a free race suit and<br />
race entry fees to eight races at Brands, Oulton Park, Cadwell Park<br />
and Snetterton. It’s a concept that’s been welcomed and acclaimed by<br />
industry professionals and looks set to enjoy even bigger grids in 2014.<br />
Colin Noble Jnr, son of Masters Euroseries runner-up Noble Snr<br />
scooped the inaugural title after a season-long battle with fellow<br />
youngster Dan Vaughan. The pair spent much of the season nose-totail<br />
but in the end Noble was able to edge Vaughan with Rob Almond<br />
third-in-championship. The SR1 Cup also offers the Fangio Trophy,<br />
contested by drivers over 40 years of age; in this Caterham Academy<br />
convert Brian Caudwell took the honours ahead of James Guess and<br />
Matt Brookes.<br />
In a short space of time the SR1 Cup has made a big impression.<br />
Such has been the success in just one season, already the SR1 Cup is<br />
being considered for other markets around the world. We can’t wait to<br />
see what 2014 will produce.<br />

British Rally Championship<br />
British Rally Championship<br />
MSA British Rally Champio nship<br />
MSA British Rally Championship<br />
Sunoco CF is the control fuel for the MSA British Rally<br />
Championship (BRC) and is a high quality unleaded, fast burning<br />
fuel. To minimise environmental impact on public areas such as<br />
woodland the BRC introduced centralised refuelling to give a safe,<br />
single refuelling facility at all of its events. Using a control fuel<br />
supplied from managed refuelling rigs negated the need for the<br />
carriage of fuel to and from events by individual teams meaning a<br />
safer and cleaner public environment.<br />
2014 Overview<br />
The 2014 MSA British Rally Championship (BRC) comprises seven<br />
classic rallies, a mix of four gravel and three asphalt events, each<br />
offering a different length, terrain and character. New for 2014, the<br />
epic Rally Isle of Man will provide two point scoring opportunities<br />
creating eight rounds in total with competitors counting their best<br />
six scores. With four rounds on each surface, separate asphalt and<br />
gravel championships will exist for all competitors including BRC<br />
Challenge Trophy runners.<br />
Already proving to be a development arena for real talent, the<br />
main BRC will continue to be the pinnacle of the sport in the UK<br />
and in recognition of this, the cars will run at the front of the rallies<br />
in a modern group and ahead of the historic cars. It will again feature<br />
just two wheel drive cars in five new categories.<br />
The outright rally wins and eventual British Rally Champion<br />
driver and co-driver are expected to come from BRC1 which is based<br />
on FIA R3 regulations. BRC2 will be for FIA R2 category cars and<br />
the technical regulations will provide for a one-off development of<br />
vehicles via the Championship Passport scheme. BRC3 will comprise<br />
the MSA British Junior Rally Championship where for the first time,<br />
competitors will be allowed to build their own non homologated cars<br />
based on slightly modified R1 standard showroom regulations. The<br />
MSA British Manufacturer Teams Rally Championship will be award<br />
to teams fielding two cars in BRC1, 2 or 3.<br />
Integral to the 2014 Championship will be the new BRC<br />
Challenge Trophy (formerly the BRC Challenge) which will be<br />
inter-seeded with the main BRC group, providing all of benefits of<br />
participating in the British Rally Championship, but on a smaller<br />
budget. The Challenge Trophy runners will complete a shortened<br />
version of the overall route and are not allowed to do reconnaissance<br />
on gravel. For newcomers, it provides a starting point, experience<br />
and insight of each event, recce on asphalt rounds, plus reward<br />
and recognition with its own dedicated finish ceremonies. The<br />
BRC Challenge Trophy classes, BRC4 & BRC5 will be open to non<br />
homologated vehicles and provide the BRC Stars of the Future (for<br />
under 21 year olds) a first rung on the ladder to BRC stardom.<br />
The BRC Challenge Trophy is a new addition in the form of<br />
an amalgamated BRC Challenge. The Challenge Trophy provides<br />
new category BRC4 and BRC5 crews with a chance to compete in<br />
the BRC with non homologated vehicles, without the additional<br />
cost burden of higher entry fees, longer events, having to do the<br />
reconnaissance on gravel rallies. Competition for U21 junior drivers<br />
will be focused on the BRC Stars of the Future for drivers who were<br />
born on or after 1st January 1993, driving BRC5 designated cars only.<br />
BRC5 will provide low cost entry and structured progression into the<br />
main BRC.<br />
New for 2014, separate BRC Gravel and Asphalt Championship<br />
titles for all competitors whether doing the main event, of the shorter<br />
Challenge trophy section. Points will be drawn up from the classified<br />
results at the point in the rally where both elements split. Four<br />
rounds on each surface will create a separate championship table<br />
with the best three scores counting towards the final total.<br />

Mini challenge<br />
MINI CHALLENGE<br />
Mini Challenge<br />
The MINI Challenge is THE Championship for the new MINI in the<br />
UK since 2002 and has always enjoyed great grids, colourful cars and<br />
close racing.<br />
Over the years The MINI Challenge has built a reputation for<br />
affordability, fairness and fun, by building on the iconic MINI Brand.<br />
In 2013 a new and enthusiastic team took over promoting The<br />
MINI Challenge, with exciting new prizes and initiatives such as a<br />
Touring Car test for a JCW Class driver and a subsidised JCW drive<br />
for the Cooper Class winner. The MINI Challenge also now boasts<br />
a dramatically increased social media presence with Facebook,<br />
Twitter and YouTube seen as primary media channels alongside<br />
more traditional TV coverage via 7 x 30 minute programmes on<br />
Motors TV.<br />
The MINI Challenge regularly visits the UKs top circuits<br />
including Brands Hatch GP, Donington, Oulton Park, Silverstone,<br />
Snetterton plus, in 2013, the Dutch circuit of Zandvoort.<br />
The multi-class structure enables drivers with varying degrees<br />
of experience and budget to be part of The MINI Challenge,<br />
whilst providing a natural route for progression. As a true single<br />
make/model championship scrutineering controls mean that fairness<br />
is maintained so that drivers and teams can be sure that only skill<br />
and legitimate knowledge will have a bearing on race results.<br />
Budgets are also kept under control through restrictions on tyre<br />
use and widespread use of control parts in areas where performance<br />
advantage could be gained.<br />
The MINI Challenge is ‘The Place to Race’<br />
The 2014 MINI Challenge has 7 meetings* at the UKs best circuits.<br />
The calendar showcases more high profile events, including another<br />
MINI Festival at Oulton Park, a guest appearance on the British GT<br />
Package and a new Pirelli Festival.<br />
The MINI Festival at Brands Hatch attracted approaching 10,000<br />
spectators at Brands Hatch over the last two seasons and a similar<br />
number of MINI fans are expected at the new Oulton Park event.<br />
The MINI Festival format develops a broader appeal for spectators/<br />
sponsors by combining exciting racing with entertainment for the<br />
fans including car stunts, pitlane and grid walk abouts.<br />
Our guest appearance with the British GT/F3 package at<br />
Snetterton and the Brands GP Dutch Supercars event offers more<br />
opportunities to impress sponsors with some of the highest profile<br />
racing in the UK.<br />
We will also be finalising1/2 non championship events to book<br />
end what we hope will prove to be the best MINI Challenge season<br />
yet. Further details of these non-championship events will follow in<br />
due course<br />

F3 cup<br />
gt cup<br />
F3 Cup<br />
F3 Cup is one of the UK’s fastest club-level single seater<br />
championships, and provided one of the tightest finishes in British<br />
motorsport in 2013. The championship is the perfect place for<br />
drivers to hone their skills in superb machinery, most importantly,<br />
on a budget.<br />
The championship caters for F3 chassis from 1980 up to 2007<br />
across three different classes: The Masters 96 Class, for cars built<br />
before 1997, the Trophy 01 Class for cars between 1997 and 2001 and<br />
the Cup 07 of cars from 2001 to 2007.<br />
It was Alex Craven of Lanan Racing who won a richly-deserved<br />
championship title in 2013, overhauling early championship leader<br />
and GP3 racer Alice Powell, racing with the highly-experienced<br />
Mark Bailey Racing squad. The title race went down to the wire, but<br />
Craven outscored BRDC Rising Star Powell at the final round of the<br />
season at Snetterton to join Chris Dittmann on the honours list of<br />
champions.<br />
For the second year in a row the championship went down to a<br />
three-way shoot-out with Tristan Cliffe the third protagonist, the<br />
man who claimed the most wins all year but still only finished third.<br />
Henry Chart would have made it a four-way battle but for bad luck,<br />
though the double race-winner shone in the final race of the season.<br />
Louis Hamilton-Smith did everything but win in 2013, claiming 10<br />
podiums from the 12 races he entered.<br />
That competitiveness, coupled with a calendar packed with some<br />
of the UK’s best circuits, has made F3 Cup an attractive place for<br />
drivers of very different experience levels to race at a fraction of the<br />
cost of British F3.<br />
www.f3cup.co.uk<br />

GT CUP<br />
2013 was a superb year for the GT Cup culminating in a thrilling<br />
final round with Jeff Wyatt clinching the Championship from<br />
season long front runner Alex Martin by only one point. The<br />
average grid size for the seven weekend calendar was over twenty<br />
six cars with drivers competing in cars form thirteen marques. The<br />
GT Cup encourages engineering and so had the honour of being<br />
the series chosen for the racing debut of the new SIN R1 racing car<br />
– a World first.<br />
2014 is shaping up to be an even better year for the<br />
championship. With an exciting calendar that will visit three Grand<br />
Prix circuits and includes supporting the prestigious Blancpain GT<br />
series at Brands Hatch on what promises to be a GT extravaganza.<br />
Motors TV will also broadcast the June Silverstone meeting live as<br />
cars and drivers compete around the international circuit using the<br />
F1 ‘Wing’ pit buildings as their base for the meeting.<br />
The format remains ideal for solo drivers but also accommodates<br />
two driver team entries and professional driver / coaches. Each two<br />
day meeting will have one 45 minute race with a compulsory pit<br />
stop on the Saturday, and two twenty five minute sprint races on<br />
the Sunday. The Saturday will also include a thirty five minute free<br />
practice session, and a 20 minute qualifying session. The one day<br />
rounds will have 30 minute qualifying session and two twenty five<br />
minute sprint races.<br />
Championship boss, Marc Haynes commented: “The 2013<br />
season was very successful with strong grids and close racing<br />
which produced a grand stand finale. We are very excited about<br />
the calendar for the 2014 season and we have had a large number<br />
of expressions of interest from drivers and teams about the<br />
coming season so we are optimistic we will build on the progress<br />
made last year.”<br />

Britcar<br />
Britcar<br />
Endurance Motorsport<br />
Catering for a diverse range of<br />
machinery Britcar has established<br />
itself on the calendar as the premier<br />
series for endurance racing<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>Company</strong> are pleased to continue their<br />
relationship with Britcar by providing a fuel service to both the<br />
Britcar Endurance Championship and the Britcar Endurance Sports<br />
and Touring Car Championship. In 2014 competitors will be free<br />
to supply their own fuel, or source it from <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong>. As the<br />
official fuel supplier, we support the series by being on site across the<br />
whole race weekend delivering fuel to competitors and collecting any<br />
empties after the meeting has finished.<br />
Britcar Endurance Championship<br />
The Britcar Endurance Championship caters for out and out GT cars<br />
from Le Mans levels of performance such as Porsche 911 RSR’s and<br />
Ferrari GT2’s, Le Mans style prototypes in LMPX and GT4 cars such<br />
as Aston Martin GT4 and Ginetta G50s.<br />
Race weekends are a mix of two 90 minute races and a longer<br />
race at Spa Francorchamps. All races include the excitement of an<br />
endurance race featuring pit stops with driver changes, refuelling<br />
and tyre changes. The championship is usually the headline event at<br />
race meetings and has support from the Britcar family of races. The<br />
endurance Championship continues the Britcar ethos of offering<br />
great track time at each race weekend.<br />
The 2013 championship was action packed throughout with the<br />
title of ‘2013 MSA British Endurance Champions’ going to the Team<br />
Parker Porsche 911 of Ian Loggie and Chris Jones.<br />
Britcar Endurance Sports and Touring Car<br />
Championship<br />
The companion championship to the Britcar Endurance<br />
Championship is the Britcar Endurance Sports and Touring Car<br />
Championship. It caters for less tuned and more road based cars and<br />
is a mixture of production saloons, endurance specials and older<br />
GT4 cars.<br />
All of the races last 90 minutes except for the 4 hour race at<br />
the famous Spa Francorchamps Grand Prix Circuit and feature a<br />
mandatory pit stop. In 2013 Ian Lawson, Anthony Wilds and Mike<br />
Wilds piloted their ING Sport 320i to championship glory.<br />
For 2014 there are plans for two new series aimed at smaller<br />
engined more cost effective machinery, named the Britcar Trophy<br />
Series and the Britcar Duro Series. These series are intended to<br />
widen the appeal of the Britcar format.<br />
Britcar 24 Hours<br />
It is hoped that the drama and excitement of the Britcar 24hrs will<br />
return in 2014 after a one year break This is a must do event for<br />
many racers. With few UK circuits holding licences for 24 racing,<br />
the approval process is both a complex and time consuming issue<br />
and at the time of writing the local authorities are still to make a<br />
final decision.<br />
The 24 hours is a non championship event where both the<br />
Britcar Endurance Championship and the Britcar Endurance<br />
Sports and Touring Car Championship combine along with<br />
extra entries from other UK Championships as well as a great<br />
contingent of overseas endurance teams joining in on the action at<br />
the Silverstone Grand Prix circuit. Always fun and unpredictable,<br />
this is the show case event on the Britcar calendar and also <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>American</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>Company</strong>’s biggest control fuel supply event.<br />

Masters Historic Racing keeps history on track! Catering for<br />
Formula 1, Le Mans-style sports cars, touring cars and GT cars,<br />
Masters offers something for everyone with great racing and offtrack<br />
hospitality and camaraderie.<br />
Masters’ flagship series are both FIA sanctioned: the FIA Masters<br />
Historic Formula One Championship and the FIA Masters Historic<br />
Sports Car Championship. The FIA Masters Historic Formula<br />
One Championship caters for cars of the Cosworth DFV era, up to<br />
1983 all running in period livery and bringing memories back to<br />
life. The FIA Masters Historic Sports Car echoes to the sound<br />
of engines from the 1970s as Porsche and Ferrari take on Ford,<br />
Lola, Chevron and Cooper. Jaguar E-types take on AC Cobras<br />
at the head of the Gentlemen Drivers GT pack, while Minis and<br />
Lotus Cortina perform giant-killing heroics in the popular Pre-66<br />
Touring Car category.<br />
There’s action all the way proving that history never stops<br />
being made.<br />
www.themastersseries.com<br />
The Historic Racing Drivers Club’s (HRDC) outlook is to bring back<br />
and uphold the spirit of the type of ‘Club Racing’ that was prevalent<br />
in the 1950s and ‘60s. This ethos of ‘Old School’ values has captured<br />
the attention of many historic racers who feel that the historic racing<br />
arena is in danger of becoming too overtly commercial, with less and<br />
less focus on the people who work-on and race-in their treasured<br />
cars in favour of harvesting the perceived wealth of those individuals.<br />
Thus the HRDC provides a more stripped-down approach to racing,<br />
with a greater emphasis on camaraderie and community spirit,<br />
which evoke an altogether more harmonious atmosphere in the<br />
HRDC race paddocks throughout each racing season. That’s not to<br />
say that the level of racing is any less exciting in HRDC races – from<br />
the cheeky manoeuvres Austin A35s and A40s to the bellowing<br />
power slides of the Jaguar Mk.1 and Mk.7s, the competitive spirit of<br />
HRDC racers is undiminished!<br />
The 2014 season will see both HRDC Series (HRDC ‘Touring<br />
Greats’ for pre-’60 historic Touring Cars’ and HRDC ‘Allstars’ for<br />
pre-’66 historic Sports, Touring and GT cars) contest six race dates<br />
at six premier U.K racing venues. Full information on how to get<br />
involved can be obtained by gong onto the HRDC website:<br />
www.hrdc.eu<br />
The Historic Sports Car Club is Britain’s premier historic motor<br />
racing club. It was formed in 1966 to encourage the preservation and<br />
continued racing use of the classic sports and sports racing cars of<br />
the 1940’s and 1950’s many of which, technically outdated, were then<br />
being neglected and even forgotten.<br />
The club runs an average of 12 race meetings a year including<br />
the Cadwell Park Wolds Trophy, Brands Hatch Superprix, The<br />
Oulton Park Gold Cup, The Donington Historic Festival and<br />
both the Silverstone Classic and the Silverstone International. For<br />
2013 the club added a new event the Thruxton Easter Revival<br />
which is to be repeated in 2014. It also adminsters a total of 13<br />
Race Championships and series. In 2011 the HSCC was awarded<br />
Club of the year at the International Historic Motoring Awards, to<br />
compliment their previous two awards of “Historic Competition<br />
Club of the Year.”<br />
In 2013 the HSCC launched a new series of races for the Super<br />
Touring Cars, of the 1990’s. This has attracted a lot of interest,<br />
including former drivers Patrick Watts, John Cleland and Tim<br />
Harvey from the period. In 2014 the grids are set to expand furter.<br />

Group C<br />
The Classic Sports<br />
Car Club<br />
The Group C Racing Series recreates the great days from the<br />
Sportscar endurance racing of the 80’s when these cars raced in the<br />
World Sportscar Championship.<br />
Group C/GTP Racing was founded in 2003 and is a members club<br />
and runs an invitation series for all Group C and IMSA GTP cars<br />
running to 1982-1990 specification. Cars running a specification<br />
that was used between 1991-1993 may also be considered.<br />
2014 is going to be an exciting year for Group C as these<br />
magnificent cars return to Le Mans 24hrs as a support race just<br />
hours before the start of the modern 24hrs race. Group C will be<br />
attending some of the best historic events including Barcelona<br />
Historic Festival, Spa Classic, Silverstone Classic, Historic Grand<br />
Prix Zandvroot and Dix Mille, Paul Ricard.<br />
www.groupcracing.com<br />
The Classic Sports Car Club was set up in 2001 by enthusiast racers<br />
who wanted to offer racing at grass roots level and since then has<br />
grown to over 800 members and runs more than ten race weekends<br />
each year. Along with a full national race programme we also invite<br />
our members to attend European race weekends.<br />
CSCC organise seven race series of our own.<br />
These are: Classic K, Swinging 60s, Tin Tops, Future Classics,<br />
Magnificent Sevens, Modern Classics, Special Saloons & Modsports.<br />
The usual race format is a 30 minute practice, 40 minute,<br />
compulsory pitstop race for one or two drivers. The Classic K series<br />
will however be running in 2014 with a 30 minute practice, 1 hour,<br />
compulsory pitstop race for one or two drivers.<br />
CSCC organise all our own meetings and host various clubs<br />
including the JEC, Ferrari Owners Club, Morgan Sports Car Club, to<br />
name a few.<br />

SPEED EuroSeries goes Dutch<br />
European 2ltr Sports Car Championship<br />
The SPEED sports prototype competitors will have greatly increased<br />
grids in 2014 as the CN cars will form an exclusive category within<br />
the Dutch Superlight series of events that travel across Europe with<br />
30 plus starters. The SPEED enduro events will include 60 and 90<br />
minute races and potentially a two hour race on the wonderful<br />
Brands Hatch GP long circuit in September. The programme as<br />
envisaged as we go to press includes events also at the Nurburgring,<br />
Spa, Zolder and Paul Ricard in the South of France.<br />
SPEED cars will continue to reflect the full FIA CN regulations<br />
running with the 2litre Honda engines that have proved the<br />
cornerstone of reliability and performance. Sunoco racing fuel will<br />
be the number 1 choice for the competitors as in past seasons and<br />
already new cars are being prepared for the events. The successful<br />
Wolf chassis will again be plentiful but more competition is<br />
expected from the UK in the shape of the Gibson and Tiga cars. The<br />
Gibson ran successfully late in 2013 and for the new season a new<br />
Tiga model will be unveiled. Taatus, Ligier and Norma will continue<br />
to provide strong competition in this closely matched formula<br />
that provides a first class training ground for young drivers with<br />
endurance racing ambitions and gentlemen drivers wanting quality<br />
racing at sensible prices.<br />
“Integrating our entries with the popular Dutch Superlight<br />
categories reduces costs for our SPEED entrants whilst still giving<br />
the international experience to the drivers and teams. Having a<br />
larger number of cars on the grid makes it a more enjoyable race<br />
meeting and fun is what it is all about,” said Speed co-ordinator<br />
Stuart McCrudden.<br />
The SPEED category within the Superlights events will have<br />
unique points awarded that will count towards the end-of-season<br />
awards with regular position bulletins posted on the SPEED<br />
website. In this way recognition of outstanding results will<br />
continue to be rewarded. 2014 will be another competitive<br />
season for the CN racers.<br />

Specific gravity<br />
Fuel Metering<br />
Specific gravity<br />
Definition: specific gravity (noun) – the ratio of the density of any substance to<br />
the density of some other substance taken as standard, water being the standard<br />
for liquids and solids, and hydrogen or air being the standard for gases<br />
For fuels, specific gravity can be determined by dividing the density<br />
of the fuel (in units of pounds per gallon) by the density of water<br />
(8.325 pounds per gallon). Let’s look at one example. Sunoco<br />
Supreme weighs 5.95 pounds per gallon. Applying some maths:<br />
5.95 / 8.325 = 0.715. So Supreme has a specific gravity of 0.715.<br />
If fuel A has a lower specific gravity than fuel B, fuel A is said to<br />
be “lighter” than fuel B. Literally, a gallon of fuel A weighs less than<br />
a gallon of fuel B. Sunoco GT Plus has a specific gravity of 0.762, so<br />
it is said to be “heavier” than Supreme.<br />
Why does this matter? Well there are two reasons.<br />
First, specific gravity has an impact on fuel metering, especially<br />
for carburetted engines. A heavier fuel is of course denser, so the<br />
float in a carb’s float bowl will sit higher than if a lighter fuel was<br />
used. If the float sits higher, the fuel level will be lower. Fuel level<br />
affects fuel metering in a number of ways, so if you’re switching<br />
fuels, pay attention to the fuel level in the bowls.<br />
For most race fuels, specific gravity is also an indication of<br />
the composition. Note that the words “most” and “indication”<br />
were used – there are exceptions. However, for most race fuels,<br />
a lower specific gravity suggests a faster–burning fuel, while a<br />
higher specific gravity suggests a fuel is slower–burning. This is<br />
because most light hydrocarbons used to make a race fuel are faster<br />
burning than most heavier hydrocarbons. This matters because<br />
faster–burning fuels usually require less spark advance than slower–<br />
burning fuels.<br />
So in addition to paying attention to fuel metering changes<br />
when switching race fuels, you need to pay attention to ignition<br />
timing as well. We’re not talking huge changes here, but these<br />
changes are important to the proper tuning and consistent<br />
performance of your race engine.<br />
One final thought – there are implications for pump gas as well.<br />
The specific gravity of pump gas will typically range from about<br />
0.720 to 0.770. As you can now guess, this wide range is a reflection<br />
of the wide ranging composition. Pump gas composition varies by<br />
octane, by region, and by season. For these reasons, a race engine<br />
that can run on pump gas must be tuned conservatively just to<br />
prevent engine failure. You can imagine the consequences of an<br />
engine that is tuned to the ragged edge on one batch of pump gas,<br />
then another batch is used in a race and the motor runs lean and<br />
timing is over–advanced. Not good.<br />
One of the most important attributes of a race fuel is its<br />
consistency. Even if you don’t need all the engine protection offered<br />
by a high octane race fuel, you may need its consistency. Specific<br />
gravity is one of the many parameters we monitor to ensure quality<br />
and consistency in all our fuels, batch after batch.<br />

Fuel Metering<br />
Can I mix fuels?<br />
Yes, you can mix any of our race fuels. But remember – if your<br />
engine needs an unleaded fuel, you don’t want to mix leaded with<br />
unleaded. Doing so would make a leaded fuel which could still<br />
damage oxygen sensors and catalytic converters.<br />
What is the octane when I mix them?<br />
First you need to calculate the percentage of each fuel that will be in<br />
the final mixture. Then, use this equation to find your octane:<br />
( [ % Fuel A ] x [ Octane of Fuel A ] ) + ( [ % Fuel B ] x [ Octane of<br />
Fuel B ] ) = Octane of Mixture<br />
Here’s an example. Let’s say you mix 3 gallons of 115 with 2 gallons<br />
of 95 and you want to know the octane of the resulting 5 gallon<br />
mixture.<br />
The percentage of 115 in the mix is 3/5 = 0.60 (60%).<br />
The percentage of the 95 octane fuel in the mix is 2/5 = 0.40 ( 40%).<br />
Plugging the information into the equation:<br />
(0.60 x 115) + (0.40 x 95) = 69 + 38 = 107<br />
So the octane of the resulting mixture is 107.<br />
You can also determine the oxygen content of the mixture the<br />
same way – just use the oxygen content information from each fuel<br />
in place of the octane numbers.<br />
See, that wasn’t so bad, was it? After all, it’s just maths. And if<br />
you have any other questions about race fuels, don’t hesitate to<br />

New Products<br />
WHY Choose DRIVEN?<br />
Competition drives innovation. The Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> brand was originally created to advance engine and<br />
driveline lubricant performance in all-out race and high performance engines, but now our innovations extend<br />
beyond the racetrack to the street. But what makes our products different?<br />
Our products are unique because we always put the “motor ahead of the molecule”. Often, oil companies<br />
have no real world understanding of how these products are actually used, but Driven keeps things in the<br />
proper order. The oil is for the motor, not the other way around. Our product development team looks at the<br />
motor and how it is used; then we design application specific products using a “zero compromise” approach<br />
that delivers a measurable performance advantage.<br />
Due to ever tightening federal EPA requirements, today’s motor<br />
oils have reduced quantities of anti-wear chemistries like Zinc,<br />
Phosphorus and Sulfur. As a result, the oil you buy today is not<br />
the same as it was 10 years ago. While this is good for your<br />
street car, it is bad news for your racing engine. Racing engines<br />
see more RPM, higher loads and increased temperatures<br />
compared to street engines, so a racing engine requires higher<br />
levels of these wear additives to prevent premature part failure.<br />
So you see, the oil used in an engine needs to be formulated<br />
specifically for that type of engine. You wouldn’t use a stock<br />
piston in a race engine, and the same goes for oil. And that’s<br />
where Driven excels.<br />
HP Comparison<br />
Racing is in the DNA of our company, and every product we develop is proven to perform. From full synthetic<br />
race oils to engine break-in oils, Driven offers a wide range of race winning products that deliver<br />
enhanced performance, protection and value. So whether you need gear oil for your race car or motor<br />
oil for your hot rod, put your trust in lubricants engineered and proven to perform. Put your trust in the<br />
innovator of high performance lubricants – Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong>.<br />
“We developed Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> to fix our flat tappet camshaft problems. Just changing to our BR Break-In <strong>Oil</strong> from offthe-shelf<br />
products, we virtually eliminated break-in failures. Next, we began to develop qualifying oils and race oils, and<br />
that is where we found significant power gains. Every engine we build uses Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> because it delivers power<br />
and durability.”<br />

Today’s Ethanol<br />
Blended Gasoline<br />
Destroys Carbureted<br />
Engines.<br />
carb DefenDer offers maximum Protection.<br />
The PROblem: Ethanol Corrosion In Carbureted Engines<br />
The growing use of Ethanol in modern pump fuel significantly increases the risk of<br />
carburetor and fuel system corrosion. Ethanol is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs<br />
moisture, which causes corrosion in the fuel system and inside the engine. High<br />
levels of Ethanol dilution in the motor oil can lead to increased moisture in the<br />
crankcase, thereby causing rust and other corrosion problems. Plus, Ethanol by itself<br />
is corrosive to components made of Aluminum and Zinc, like carburetors. Both<br />
of these problems are compounded by long periods of storage between uses.<br />
Wintertime<br />
storage<br />
Protection<br />
Before you put your carbureted engine in storage for the winter off-season, it’s crucial to make<br />
sure it has the correct protection so that it will be in proper running condition when it’s time to<br />
take it back out the next year.<br />
Designed for all carbureted engines, Driven Carb Defender will save you the hassle of costly<br />
post storage repairs resulting from corrosion that happens at an accelerated pace over the<br />
winter due to temperature swings. Because it is specifically formulated to protect against Ethanol<br />
corrosion and induction deposits, Driven Carb Defender and its special corrosion inhibitors<br />
work to counteract the damaging moisture buildup resulting from the hygroscopic characteristics<br />
of Ethanol-blended fuel. Over the winter months, the Ethanol in your fuel tank absorbs moisture,<br />
which if left unprotected will lead to rust, corrosion and other costly problems. In addition,<br />
this additive stabilizes the fuel as well as cleans existing deposits in the combustion chamber.<br />
With Driven Carb Defender, you can rest assured that once it’s spring and you’re ready to bring<br />
your ride back out, its performance will remain the same.<br />

The sOluTiOn: Driven Carb Defender Fuel Additive<br />
Driven’s Carb Defender Fuel Additive is specifically formulated to protect against Ethanol<br />
corrosion and induction deposits. Special corrosion inhibitors work to prevent<br />
expensive repairs and diminished performance caused by Ethanol-blended pump<br />
gasoline and the moisture it attracts. This additive controls combustion chamber<br />
residue, plus it cleans and protects surfaces of the fuel system and intake tract. The<br />
8 oz. bottle of additive treats up to 25 gallons of Ethanol-blended gas and should be<br />
used with each and every fill-up.<br />

PaRTs sTORe? Carb Defender provides powerful and targeted protection for carburetors and mechanical fuel pumps<br />
against corrosive damage and gummy deposits caused by Ethanol-blended fuels (E10 up to E98). No other product is formulated<br />
for the specific needs of carburetors – corrosion and deposit protection as well as conditioning seals and diaphragms.<br />
Typically, one size fits all fuel additives are designed for modern fuel injection engines, but Carb Defender provides powerful<br />
protection specifically for carburetors and related fuel system components. Ethanol is highly corrosive, in fact, Ethanol-blended<br />
fuel is not transported in pipelines due to the risk of damage to the pipeline. Imagine what this does to your carburetor over<br />
time. Carb Defender provides the corrosion protection your carburetor needs.<br />
is CaRb deFendeR a Fuel sTabilizeR OR is ThaT sOmeThing diFFeRenT? Carb Defender does not claim to<br />
eliminate moisture. It protects your carb from the effects of moisture and degraded fuel. Carb Defender does act as a fuel preservative,<br />
but it does much more than preserve fuel during long term storage. Carb Defender cleans deposits, which improves<br />
engine performance and ensures future reliability.<br />
dOes damage haPPen quiCklY OR is iT ReallY a ResulT OF lOng TeRm vehiCle sTORage? While corrosive<br />
damage generally occurs over time (especially so during long term storage), performance robbing deposits occur during<br />
normal operation, so Carb Defender provides protection for when you are driving the vehicle as well as when it is in storage.<br />
dO i ReallY need CaRb deFendeR WiTh eveRY Fill-uP? For maximum protection, it is recommended to use Carb<br />
Defender with each full tank of fuel. It is critical to use it prior to and during storage of the vehicle. This allows the additive to establish<br />
its protective chemical shield against moisture and fuel. Continual use ensures continual protection.<br />
Will CaRb deFendeR have negaTive eFFeCTs On sensORs OR The exhausT sYsTem? No, Carb Defender<br />
does not harm emissions control equipment.<br />
Can i use CaRb deFendeR in maRine and small engines? Carb Defender can be used in both Marine and<br />
Small Engine applications and protects against the corrosion and deposits typically found in them. Due to the high levels of<br />
moisture in the fuel typically found in both Marine and Small Engines, they benefit from the world class corrosion and deposit<br />
protection provided by Carb Defender.<br />

WhY dRiven?<br />
WhY dRiven?<br />
Let’s face it, all oils lubricate. The question is for how long and under what conditions? Stock motor oils work for stock<br />
engines. But when you install a higher lift cam and stronger valve springs, you need a better oil. High performance<br />
engines see more RPM, higher loads and increased temperatures compared to stock engines, so a high performance<br />
engine requires higher levels of Zinc, Phosphorus, Sulfur and other additives to prevent premature part failure. This is<br />
especially true in flat tappet engines. Simply put, the oil used in an engine needs to be formulated for that specific type<br />
of engine. Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> provides serious oils for serious engines.<br />
all zinC is nOT The same<br />
Many oils now claim to be “High Zinc,” but the real question is not about how much Zinc is in your oil. The better question is,<br />
“What type of Zinc is in your oil?”<br />
In 2011 the <strong>American</strong> Petroleum Institute (API) and the International Lubricants and Standardization Committee (ILSAC) both adopted<br />
new motor oil standards that called for a new type of Zinc additive in motor oils that carry the API SN and ILSAC GF-5 certification.<br />
This is on top of the reduction of Zinc anti-wear additives in API and ILSAC licensed motor oils since 2005. To understand<br />
this whole situation better, let’s take a quick look at what Zinc actually is, how it works and why it has been reduced and changed.<br />
zinC 101<br />
The oil additive Zinc Dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) works because it is a polar molecule, so it is attracted to metal surfaces.<br />
ZDDP reacts under heat and load to create a sacrificial film that allows ZDDP to protect flat tappet camshafts and other highly<br />
loaded engine parts. The Society of Automotive Engineers’ Automotive Lubricants Reference Book states, “ZDDP is the predominant<br />
anti-wear additive used in crankcase oils, although it is a class of additive rather than one particular chemical.” Some<br />
Zinc additives have slower “burn” rates that require more heat and more load to activate than other Zinc additives. As a result,<br />
not all “high Zinc” oils have the same activation rate. High speed valve trains require a “fast burn” ZDDP that activates quickly.<br />
However, these “fast burn” ZDDP additives tend to reduce catalytic converter performance. As a result, motor oils have<br />
changed from traditional ZDDP additives in the range of 1,000 to 1,200 ppm back in the 1990s down to a minimum of 600<br />
ppm and a maximum of 800 ppm of “Phosphorus Retention” ZDDP today (for API SN and ILSAC GF-5 motor oils). This is a<br />
direct result of EPA requirements to reduce vehicle emissions. While this has been beneficial for reducing emissions in modern<br />
engines, it has been very detrimental to classic and high performance engines. Since the reduction of ZDDP in motor oils,<br />
every camshaft manufacturer has seen flat tappet and high performance valve train failures skyrocket as a direct consequence.<br />
The CRiTiCal balanCe<br />
OF deTeRgenTs TO zinC<br />
Detergents and dispersants in the oil complicate the situation. Detergent<br />
and dispersant additives compete against Zinc in the engine because they<br />
are polar molecules as well. Detergents and dispersants clean the engine,<br />
but they don’t distinguish between sludge, varnish and Zinc – they clean all<br />
three away. Modern API certified oils contain high levels of detergents and<br />
dispersants. The old school theory on engine break-in was to run non-detergent<br />
oils, and this allowed for greater activation of the Zinc additive in the oil.<br />
Driven BR Break-In <strong>Oil</strong>s utilize the correct balance of high levels of Zinc<br />
anti-wear additives and low levels of detergents, so you don’t need to buy<br />
expensive additives to try to correct a low Zinc (ZDDP) content oil.<br />

TO PROTeCTiOn<br />
Just like using primer before you paint, the Driven system of lubricants provides<br />
layers of ZDDP protection for your performance engine and flat tappet camshaft.<br />
It begins with the Driven Engine Assembly Grease that places tenacious extreme<br />
pressure, anti-wear additives on the critical wear surfaces of your engine.<br />
Next, Driven BR Break-In <strong>Oil</strong> feeds your engine the “fast burn” Zinc it<br />
craves during initial break-in. Driven uses a proprietary combination of “fast<br />
burn” ZDDP anti-wear and extreme pressure additives to provide proven protection<br />
for flat tappet and aggressive roller cam valve trains. The unique formula<br />
of BR Break-In <strong>Oil</strong> also utilizes low levels of detergent and dispersant<br />
additives in order to quickly establish the critical anti-wear film throughout your<br />
engine. Building this foundational anti-wear film in your engine lowers the wear<br />
that occurs during break-in, which extends the life of your engine.<br />
Once the anti-wear film has been established and the break-in process completed,<br />
the XP series of racing oils adds proven friction modifiers to lower<br />
engine temperatures and increase horsepower. The HR series of oils for classic<br />
cars and hot rods provides extra storage protection additives as well as<br />
flat tappet cam protection. Driven also provides a complete line of synthetic<br />
high performance street oils designed to protect turbochargers and modern<br />
engines with variable valve timing technology. If you have a high performance<br />
or classic engine, Driven has a system of oils tailored to protect your engine<br />
from initial break-in to full throttle.<br />
liFTeR WeaR TesT ResulTs<br />
We hired an independent engine builder to test current “stock oil” specs − API<br />
SN and GM dexos − in a flat tappet, 383c.i. engine to determine the wear<br />
results. Each lifter pictured was broken in for 30 minutes with Driven BR<br />
Break-In <strong>Oil</strong> and then run for 6 hours − cycling between 1,500 RPM and<br />
6,000 RPM − on a 302 duration, .460" lift camshaft with 270 lbs. open valve<br />
spring pressure. The pictures tell the story. The lifters using API SN and GM<br />
dexos already show wear while the lifters using Driven HR 10W-30 do not.<br />
RaCe PROven<br />
To further prove the point, after 728 miles of competition at 9,000 RPM and<br />
over 500 lbs. open valve spring pressure, look at the pair of Joe Gibbs Racing’s<br />
used NASCAR flat tappet lifters which also showed no visible wear after<br />
using Driven XP1 Racing <strong>Oil</strong>.<br />
used <strong>Oil</strong> analYsis<br />
Finally, we built two identical engines and broke in one engine using Driven<br />
BR Break-In <strong>Oil</strong>. The other engine used a different brand of break-in oil. Used<br />
oil samples were taken from each engine after break-in, and the used oil<br />
analysis revealed a 56% reduction in wear metal using Driven BR Break-In <strong>Oil</strong>.<br />
Less wear during break-in means longer engine life.<br />
All of these results point to one thing − the “system” approach works. Using Driven<br />
BR Break-In <strong>Oil</strong> provides the foundation, and matching that with the proper<br />
type of Driven engine oil gives you the ultimate protection for your application.<br />

WHY SYNTHETIC?<br />
[mPao]<br />

game ChangeR<br />
anD yOuR enGine’s peRfORMance<br />
& DuRaBiliTy sTanD TO BenefiT<br />
Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> has made a major technological<br />
leap by incorporating mPAO, the most innovative<br />
synthetic base oil available, into all of its synthetic oils.<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> does more than just reduce friction and wear − it provides vital cooling in an engine.<br />
Cool, well lubricated parts last longer, so spraying oil on valve springs, camshafts and<br />
pistons will keep them running stronger for longer. Synthetic oils have a greater specific<br />
heat capacity than conventional oils, which means synthetics can absorb more heat<br />
from the part. This enables synthetic oils to cool better than conventional oils.<br />
Also, the high temperatures on the valve springs, camshafts and pistons cause conventional<br />
oils to break down much faster than synthetic oil. Conventional oils begin to break<br />
down at 240° F, but synthetic oils can handle up to 320° F before they begin to break<br />
down. The improved thermal stability of synthetic oil provides increased oil longevity, and<br />
the greater heat capacity of synthetic oil provides better cooling for extended part life.<br />
Using the correct viscosity synthetic oil provides extra “insurance” against heat related<br />
engine wear and damage. To choose the correct viscosity for your race application, see<br />
the chart on page 28 of this catalog.<br />
Get More From Your <strong>Oil</strong><br />
While synthetic oil costs more per quart, it can actually save you<br />
money on total oil purchases. It is more durable and lasts longer than<br />
conventional oil, so you don’t have to change it as often. The most<br />
cost effective approach is to use synthetic oil and frequently change<br />
the oil filter. However, over 50% of machine failures are related to<br />
contamination so keeping your oil system clean is also important.<br />
Changing the used filter removes contaminants from the oil system,<br />
and topping off the oil when you install the new filter adds clean oil<br />
to the system. Following this maintenance program reduces engine<br />
wear and oil purchases, as well as extends oil life.<br />
A typical Methanol fueled engine can run five nights of racing before<br />
needing a complete oil change – just by changing the filter and adding<br />
oil each night. As long as the oil still looks fresh and does not<br />
smell like fuel, you can just change the filter, add oil and keep racing.<br />
Once the oil turns dark and begins to smell like fuel, go ahead and<br />
drain the oil and install fresh oil and a new filter.<br />
Following this program greatly reduces the contaminants in the oil<br />
system, and that reduces engine wear. By extending the drain interval<br />
of the oil, this method reduces oil purchases, and that saves money.<br />

assured that lubricant technology is constantly evolving at the highest levels of<br />
motorsports, and Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> is a major player in those developments. One<br />
such breakthrough that Driven has recently incorporated into all its synthetic<br />
options is mPAO − a next generation synthetic base lubricant. While you may<br />
never have heard this name before, what this stuff does is impressive. By using<br />
an mPAO base for creating its performance lubricants, Driven is able to create<br />
a lightweight motor oil that retains a high HTHS (High Temperature High Shear)<br />
viscosity to give you the best lubricant possible − an oil that’s less sensitive to<br />
heat, doesn’t break down under extreme friction and increases power output.<br />
DOuBle THe ViscOsiTy inDex Of<br />
cOnVenTiOnal Base <strong>Oil</strong>s<br />
Consider that lubrication scientists use something called “viscosity index” to<br />
compare the quality of different base oils. The index is based on Pennsylvania<br />
Crude, which is the highest quality conventional crude oil. PA Crude has<br />
a viscosity index of 100. The preferred synthetic base oil until now has been<br />
PAO, which is quite a bit better than any conventional oil as it features an index<br />
number of 140. mPAO has a viscosity index of 200 – solid evidence of its<br />
enhanced lubrication properties!<br />
Dyno tests show that engines consistently<br />
gain horsepower with the new<br />
formulations containing mPAO. As you<br />
can see, this is a huge advance in oil<br />
technology and Driven includes it in all<br />
of its synthetic oils. The high viscosity<br />
index mPAO delivers allows the formulation<br />
of lower viscosity oils that deliver<br />
the bearing protection of a higher viscosity<br />
conventional oil. Despite being a<br />
10W-40, Driven’s XP9 delivers the same<br />
sheared bearing oil film thickness of a<br />
conventional 20W-50. That is better all<br />
around protection and performance.<br />
Winning championships at the highest<br />
level of motorsports is the primary<br />
goal of Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong>, so while other<br />
brands may claim to be performance<br />
oils, only Driven backs it up by actually<br />
racing the same stuff you can buy off<br />
the shelf. Only Driven Racin <strong>Oil</strong> puts the<br />
very same oil it sells to you in every Joe<br />
Gibbs Racing engine.<br />
From full synthetic race oils to engine<br />
break-in oils, Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> offers<br />
a wide range of race-winning products<br />
that deliver performance, protection<br />
and value. Countless hours of testing<br />
and millions of dollars in R&D have been<br />
devoted to Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> products<br />
− and the results speak for themselves.<br />
Driven’s mPAO offers 2x the viscosity<br />
index, allowing it to thrive in grueling<br />
environments.<br />

Not every performance engine lives in a race car. In fact, modern high performance<br />
street engines place demands on a motor oil that a racing oil can’t meet.<br />
Idling, Ethanol fuels and extended periods of storage can cause corrosive wear<br />
problems that racing oils are not equipped to solve. Engines like these need oil<br />
that can protect on the road, on the track and in the garage.<br />
Modern performance engines often utilize variable valve timing and hydraulic<br />
cam followers, so maintaining viscosity is critical to the performance of these<br />
valve trains. The Driven Street Performance <strong>Oil</strong>s are specifically designed to resist<br />
shear thinning and maintain hydraulic force. The new mPAO improves air release<br />
for improved anti-foam performance, and the high viscosity index of the mPAO<br />
delivers shear stable viscosity for the best in street performance lubrication.<br />

Modern API certified oils are designed to protect emissions control equipment like<br />
catalytic converters. Driven Hot Rod <strong>Oil</strong> is designed to protect your camshaft. With<br />
high levels of ZDDP to protect your engine, it delivers the chemistry that classic cars,<br />
muscle cars and historic cars need. Because these cars are not daily drivers, Driven<br />
Hot Rod <strong>Oil</strong> also delivers storage protection additives to guard your engine from rust<br />
and corrosion. These additives also prevent dry starts. Developed specifically for<br />
older cars, no other oil provides this unique combination of lubricant chemistry.<br />
Modern engine designs and oils have done a great job of reducing emissions and<br />
protecting emissions control equipment. However, modern oils have wreaked havoc<br />
on older engines. The reduction in emissions in modern cars has coincided with a<br />
reduction in traditional anti-wear additives (i.e. Zinc dithiophosphates) in modern oils.<br />
While this is great for the environment, it is bad news for your flat tappet camshaft.<br />

Simply put, you shouldn’t use oil designed for modern engines in older style engines.<br />
Protecting your engine when it is operating is critical. However, more wear occurs<br />
during start-up than at any other time. A recent European study of heavy-duty<br />
diesel engines revealed a 50% reduction in cold start wear by using synthetic oil in<br />
comparison to conventional oil. Reduced cold start wear means longer engine life.<br />
Driven Hot Rod <strong>Oil</strong> meets the latest SAE J300 Cold Cranking requirements, so you<br />
can give your engine the cold start protection it needs as well as the Zinc anti-wear<br />
chemistry to keep your camshaft protected.<br />
Because Driven Hot Rod <strong>Oil</strong> is designed specifically for older style historic car and<br />
hot rod engines, it also features US military specification rust and corrosion inhibitors.<br />
These unique additives fight the formation of rust and defend against corrosion<br />
while your car is in the garage or storage. Pictured to the right are the results<br />
of a 1,000 hour severe storage simulation test. The surfaced treated with Driven Hot<br />
Rod <strong>Oil</strong> showed NO rust or corrosion.<br />
When your car sits in the garage over the winter, Driven Hot Rod <strong>Oil</strong> fights corrosive<br />
wear and rust. When you fire the engine up, it protects your engine from excessive<br />
cold start wear. And when you put the pedal to the floor, Driven Hot Rod <strong>Oil</strong> protects<br />
your camshaft from scuffing. No other oil provides this level of protection in<br />
the garage, at start-up and on the road.<br />

from chilling, so we offer products specifically for nitrous, bracket racing and naturally aspirated engines. Higher levels of<br />
moisture from chilling the engine prior to a run and excessive fuel dilution will shorten the life of the oil. We recommend changing<br />
the oil filter after each race weekend. When the oil begins to change color or smells like fuel, you should change it.<br />
• NITROUS: XP4 − The high Zinc, conventional petroleum formula is perfect for big cubic inch nitrous engines. The 15W-50 viscosity<br />
handles the high loads from the added power, and xP4 provides excellent ring sealing to put that power to use.<br />
• BRACkET <strong>RACING</strong>: XP4 and xP8 − Consistency and Protection − these oils deliver both. When you are dialing an index, you don’t<br />
need extra power. You just need consistent performance and protection. The high Zinc formula of xP8 provides the protection, and the<br />
5W-30 viscosity provides consistent performance. The xP8 does not thin out too much as you run rounds, so the engine stays consistent.<br />
• HEAdS UP & QUALIFYING: XP0, XP10, XP2 − When you need to go as fast as you can, Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> provides full synthetic<br />
qualifying oils that deliver HP. Plus, these oils can be blended to fine tune the viscosity in order to achieve optimum engine performance.<br />
• ALCOHOL − Without enough oil temperature to evaporate off the Methanol and related moisture, use the hR series of synthetic oils to<br />
not only protect against wear but also defend against fuel dilution and moisture. The storage protection additives in the hR series of oils<br />
are the alcohol fueled drag racer’s best friend.<br />
Endurance racing engines see high oil temperatures, so the oil must be able to resist thermal breakdown while allowing<br />
moisture from cooling the engine and fuel dilution to evaporate out of the oil system. We recommend changing the oil filter<br />
after each race weekend. When the oil begins to change color or smells like fuel, you should change it.<br />
• ALCOHOL FUELS: XP6 and xP9 − The full synthetic, mPAO based formula is perfect for alcohol fueled engines. The mPAO<br />
base oil can handle the high loads and oil temperatures without breaking down. This allows the alcohol fuel and moisture to evaporate<br />
out of the engine. xP6 is perfect for aluminum block engines, while xP9 is perfect for iron block engines.<br />
• RACE GAS: Formulated with special bearing passivators to protect against corrosion when using leaded race fuels, Driven Racing<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> provides a wide variety of viscosities to dial in the performance of your engine. The mPAO base oil can handle the high loads<br />
and high oil temperatures without breaking down. The proprietary formula of friction modifiers delivers proven horsepower gains<br />
without compromising durability. XP1, XP2, XP3, XP6, XP9<br />
• SPEC <strong>RACING</strong>: Extra Advantage − When you race in a spec engine class, you need every advantage you can muster. Driven<br />
Racing <strong>Oil</strong> delivers mPAO based synthetic formulas that deliver a horsepower edge and lower foaming tendency for improved<br />
hydraulic lifter response. XP2 − FORd FOCUS; XP1 − GM 602 CRATE, SPEC MIATA, FORMULA FORd; XP3 − GM 604<br />
CRATE, LEGENdS; XP9 − NASCAR SPEC ENGINE, FORd CRATE ENGINES<br />
• QUALIFYING: XP0, XP10, XP2 − When you need to go as fast as you can, Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> provides full synthetic qualifying oils<br />
that deliver horsepower. Plus, these oils can be blended to fine tune the viscosity in order to achieve optimum engine performance.<br />
Endurance racing in desert and dirt track environments calls for frequent oil changes to remove dirt ingested into the engine<br />
during competition. Driven’s semi-synthetic and petroleum formula oils deliver outstanding wear protection at a price that<br />
allows for frequent oil changes.<br />
• sYnTheTiC: xP9 delivers the ultimate in off-road and dirt track performance. xP9 replaces conventional 20W-50 racing<br />
oils, and it lowers oil temperatures. Also, the dial-in viscosity of xP9 reduces engine wear by providing better oil flow at startup<br />
without sacrificing high temperature bearing protection.<br />
• SEMI-SYNTHETIC: XP5 and xP7 − These semi-synthetic, mPAO based formulas are perfect for desert off-road and dirt track<br />
engines. The addition of some mPAO base oil increases the ability to handle high loads and high oil temperatures without breaking<br />
down. This increases the durability of the oil while maintaining a semi-synthetic price. The 20W-50 viscosity of the xP5 is perfect<br />
for aluminum block engines, and the 10W-40 viscosity of the xP7 is perfect for iron block engines.<br />
• PETROLEUM: XP4 − In very dirty and very high fuel dilution environments, the best plan of action is to change the oil frequently. The all<br />
mineral formula of xP4 delivers high Zinc protection for valve train durability, and the 15W-50 viscosity provides bearing oil film thickness.<br />
“ 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.<br />
Keep up the good work.”<br />

Protect your engine block, cylinder heads, water pump and radiator from deposits and corrosion that reduce<br />
the effectiveness of your cooling system. Don’t put your engine at risk from the corrosive effects of<br />
coolants mixed with non-distilled water. The minerals in regular water and well water cause corrosion and<br />
degrade the performance of the coolant. CSP neutralizes these minerals and prevents damage due to hard<br />
water. This is especially important when you add make-up water to the coolant system. CSP prevents corrosion<br />
in modern “orange” OAT coolants, traditional “green” anti-freeze and straight water. Keeps engine<br />
coolant passages clean and lubricates water pumps. Do not mix with other coolant additives.<br />
• Adds corrosion resistance to modern “orange” OAT coolants<br />
• Better “wetting” than traditional coolant additives<br />
• Improves engine cooling by improving surface wetting and lowering surface tension<br />

Viscosity<br />
Choosing the Right Viscosity<br />
Viscosity is the most important property of a lubricant. Using too high of a viscosity oil can result in excessive oil<br />
temperature and increased drag. Using too low of a viscosity oil can lead to excessive metal to metal contact of moving parts.<br />
Using the correct viscosity oil reduces friction and wear.<br />
However, viscosity changes with temperature. <strong>Oil</strong> gets thinner as it gets hotter. To select the correct viscosity for an application<br />
you need to know the operating temperature of the oil. Engines that run high operating oil temperatures require higher viscosity<br />
oil. Engines that run low oil temps require lower viscosity oil.<br />
40 years ago, you had winter grades for cold weather and summer grades for hot weather. A typical winter grade was 10W. A<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
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<br />
temperatures − not too thick when it is cold and not too thin when it is hot.<br />
As you can see, the operating temperature of the oil plays a major role in the selection of the proper viscosity oil. For example,<br />
look at an NHRA Pro Stock engine, a NASCAR Sprint Cup engine and a World of Outlaws 410 Sprint engine. Each engine has<br />
a very different operating oil temperature – 100°F, 220°F and 300°F, respectively. As a result, all three engines run very different<br />
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<br />
vice versa.<br />
It is important to keep clearances in mind. Looser clearances in the engine and oil pump require higher viscosity oil to maintain<br />
oil pressure. Tighter clearances need lower viscosity oil, which provides better cooling and improved horsepower. For more detailed<br />
explanations of how oil temperature and bearing clearances affect oil selection, please visit www.drivenracingoil.com<br />
Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong>s are application engineered to allow the use of lower viscosity oils without compromising wear. Follow the<br />
chart below to select the appropriate oil for your application.<br />

Blending Info:<br />
Create your own blend – Driven XP0, XP1, XP2, XP3, XP6, XP9 and XP10 are based on the same<br />
lubricant technology. As a result, these oils can be blended to create custom viscosities. For<br />
example, add some XP6 to XP0 to add viscosity while keeping good low temperature performance,<br />
or add some XP0 to XP6 to lower the high temp viscosity. A blending chart is available<br />
online at www.drivenracingoil.com.<br />

<strong>Oil</strong> COnsumPTiOn & <strong>Oil</strong> vOlaTiliTY<br />
Have you ever torn down a motor and seen oil in the intake manifold? How about an intake valve dirtier than an exhaust valve?<br />
Ever wondered why that is?<br />
The one word answer is “volatility.” This refers to how much vapor a motor oil releases when it gets hot. Just as how water<br />
vapors rise off a pot of water before it begins to boil, the same thing happens to motor oil inside your engine. As oil splashes<br />
onto the pistons and valve springs to keep them cool, the high temperature causes some of the oil to evaporate.<br />
Modern engines have a positive crankcase ventilation valve that vents these oil vapors into the intake manifold. The oil vapors<br />
condense in the cool air/fuel mixture, which leaves the oily deposits in the intake manifold and on the intake valve.<br />
So what can you do? Using a lower volatility motor oil is the first line of defense. Fewer oil vapors mean not as many make it<br />
into the PCV system in the first place. More oil is then kept in the crankcase where it belongs. The next thing you can do is<br />
install an aftermarket PCV line oil catch can.<br />
These two steps will reduce the amount of oil getting into the intake tract. Obviously a cleaner intake valve will flow more air<br />
for better power and fuel economy. These steps also reduce oil consumption, which helps to protect O 2 sensors and catalytic<br />
converters from damage due to excessive oil consumption.<br />
Specialty oils like Driven LS30, FR20 and FR50 feature a high-quality base oil, reduce oil consumption AND contain more ZDDP<br />
for better engine protection. The O 2 sensors and catalytic converters don’t know how much ZDDP is in the motor oil so it stays<br />
where it should – in the crankcase lubricating your engine. LS30 can contain 50% more ZDDP since the volatility is 67% less<br />
than standard base oils. The higher quality base oil delivers better all around protection and performance.<br />
engine assemblY TiPs<br />
A human hair is about 80 microns wide, and the smallest particle size you can see with a naked eye is about 40 microns. Can<br />
something so small you can’t even see it really cause problems? The answer is yes.<br />
Clearance size particles do the most damage. They are small enough to get into the space between the bearing and the journal<br />
or the lifter and lifter bore, but they are too big to flow straight through without touching anything. Particles that are smaller<br />
than the clearance between moving parts can easily flow through the clearance space without doing any damage, and the<br />
particles that are too large to enter the clearance gap are blocked out. It is the particles that are similar in size to your engine’s<br />
clearances that you need to worry about.<br />
When you do the math, you’ll find that .0025" vertical bearing clearance yields out a clearance space of .00125" (half of the<br />
total clearance is on each side of the journal). One and a half thousandths is equal to 32 microns, so particle sizes you can’t<br />
see are the ones that you need to worry about.<br />
Here are 3 practical steps you can take during the assembly of an engine to rid yourself of these unseen assassins.<br />
1. Clean YOuR PaRTs beFORe insTallaTiOn: Driven recommends using a foaming degreaser to lift the greasy film from parts.<br />
2. use an <strong>Oil</strong> FilTeR WiTh FineR miCROns duRing bReak-in: A production car filter will have a finer micron rating than<br />
a racing filter will have. After the initial 30 minute break-in period, change the oil filter.<br />
vaRiable valve Timing<br />
The majority of variable valve timing (VVT) engines use motor oil as a hydraulic fluid to run the timing mechanisms. This change<br />
adds a whole new wrinkle to what you need your motor oil to do. In addition to providing anti-wear and fluid film protection for<br />
your engine, the motor oil in a variable valve timing engine must also resist foaming and shearing.<br />
Obviously foam is a poor lubricant, and it is an even worse hydraulic fluid. The air in an engine can be compressed, and a good<br />
hydraulic fluid should be basically incompressible. If your motor oil foams, you could be in trouble.<br />
The other area that could affect the performance of the VVT is shear stability. Viscosity<br />
is the most important property of a lubricant, and motor oils are required to<br />
work over a very wide range of temperatures – good examples are starting a car<br />
in Minnesota in January or driving a car in Arizona in July. To improve the viscosity<br />
attributes of the oil, polymer additives called Viscosity Index Improvers are added.<br />
These Viscosity Index Improver polymers can be degraded under high shear conditions.<br />
Think about stretching a rubber band. Pull too hard and it breaks. This can<br />
happen in VVT engines as the oil is being forced through the narrow passages of<br />
the VVT under high hydraulic and mechanical load.<br />
The shearing or breaking down of the Viscosity Index Improver polymer leads to<br />
lower oil pressure and degraded viscosity characteristics. Both of these will affect<br />
the performance of the VVT system.<br />
A secondary effect of both foaming and shearing is increased oxidation that will<br />
shorten the life of the motor oil. As the aerated and sheared oil interacts with the<br />
oxygen in the air (and unburnt Ethanol-blended fuel), oxidation of the motor oil<br />
increases. If the oil becomes highly oxidized, the engine can be harmed by the<br />
deposits and acids left behind by the oxidized oil.<br />
A high performance engine that utilizes VVT technology needs to be filled with a<br />
high performance oil that resists foaming and provides shear stability.<br />
The hydraulic industry recognizes the KRL shear stability test as the standard for<br />
determining if an oil is shear stable enough for heavy-duty applications.<br />
Overhead cam with phaser in VVT engine<br />
Owners of VVT engines should look for motor oils that perform well in this test. Many off-the-shelf brands of motor oil lose<br />
more than 25% of their High Temperature High Shear viscosity during the KRL test compared to less than 10% in Driven’s line<br />
of high performance street oils. It is also a good idea to look for an oil with a low foaming tendency.<br />
Finally, many VVT engines feature overhead camshafts (OHC), and these cams are driven via timing chains. Proper anti-wear<br />
additives are important to protect these chains and gears from wearing during high performance use. For track day car owners<br />
that have engines featuring VVT, a motor oil with a little extra ZDDP in it would be helpful.<br />
Keeping the oil changed on a regular basis is also important for keeping the engine clean. Hydraulic systems need to be kept<br />
much cleaner than a normal engine. This means changing the oil filter regularly if the car sees a lot of track days, and keeping<br />
the oil change interval to a reasonable mileage – no 10,000 mile oil drains here.<br />
3. Change The <strong>Oil</strong> aFTeR bReak-in: Most of the wear metals that will be created in an engine’s life will occur during the first<br />
hour of operation. It’s cheap insurance to change the oil after break-in.<br />

<strong>Oil</strong> mYThs FACT VS. FICTIoN<br />
Synthetic motor oil is too slippery. It causes roller bearings to slide instead of roll, which<br />
causes the bearings to fail.<br />
While everyone understands the need for proper break-in oil for flat tappet camshafts, many people don’t think twice when it comes to<br />
breaking in a roller cam. But according to a growing number of engine builders, piston ring manufacturers and cam grinders, the difference<br />
can be substantial, especially as more engine builders are using roller cams to handle higher valve spring loads and turn more RPM.<br />
<strong>Oil</strong> that “wears-in” rings will create a lot of fine metal particulate that can kill a roller cam. During break-in an engine can create up to four<br />
times the particulate material than it does after break-in, and according to bearing manufacturer, Timken, it’s the main cause of premature<br />
roller bearing failure. Some break-in oils designed to accelerate the break-in process generate higher levels of wear metal. However, if the<br />
oil is friction modified, then the rings won’t seat properly, so striking the right balance is critical. Another issue is that roller cams typically<br />
support higher spring pressures and contact loads than traditional lifters and rockers.<br />
This is where high ZDDP (Zinc) additives enhance the anti-wear characteristics of the Driven BR Break-in <strong>Oil</strong> that protects these types<br />
of components during the critical break-in period. The protective layer of ZDDP anti-wear film smoothes out the peaks and valleys that<br />
comprise the microscopic surfaces on roller wheels and needle bearings. A smooth surface enables greater load carrying with less fatigue.<br />
According to Brian Reese of COMP Cams, the more aggressive the valve train is in terms<br />
of lift, duration and spring pressure, the less margin of error you have. “We are seeing a<br />
trend away from flat tappet engines because of the oil issues related to them. But just<br />
because you have a roller cam, doesn’t mean that it does not have to be broken in properly,”<br />
Reese says. “NASCAR-level engine programs like Joe Gibbs Racing are still doing<br />
30 minute break-ins on their roller cam engines because they have learned the hard way<br />
what happens when they don’t.”<br />
Valve train experts agree that the most critical time for any engine is during break-in, so it<br />
pays off to spend extra time on the details.<br />
COOlanT sYsTem CORROsiOn<br />
It is not uncommon for cooling system corrosion issues to develop for racers and performance enthusiasts alike. This can<br />
occur whether they are using a coolant additive or anti-freeze. It sounds like it could be a complicated problem, but the real<br />
culprit is easy to pinpoint…water.<br />
The presence of hard water minerals like calcium and magnesium can cause corrosion<br />
inside your engine’s cooling system. Using tap water or well water to mix your anti-freeze<br />
can lead to this destructive corrosion process. Vital components such as the radiator,<br />
water pump and cylinder heads (iron or aluminum) all can be affected, leading to a loss<br />
of overall cooling efficiency.<br />
The corrosion issue is magnified in motorsports, as many racing series and tracks do not<br />
allow teams to use anti-freeze in the cooling system, and straight water alone is more corrosive<br />
because of the minerals inside. Some racers will use water together with a coolant<br />
additive to combat some of the downsides of using water by itself, but typical coolant<br />
additives do nothing to help prevent hard water corrosion.<br />
Roller cam and lifters<br />
The roots of this myth are based in the misapplication of passenger car motor oil in motorcycles. The power density of motorcycle<br />
engines places greater shear forces on the motor oil than passenger car engines do, and as a result, most passenger<br />
car motor oils are not appropriate for use in a motorcycle. The resulting failures were blamed on the synthetic oil. However, the<br />
problem wasn’t the synthetic base oil, it was the fact that synthetic oil was not formulated for the needs of a motorcycle engine.<br />
A properly formulated synthetic motorcycle oil will provide superior performance in the engine it was designed for. Likewise, a<br />
properly formulated synthetic passenger car motor oil will provide superior performance in a passenger car engine.<br />
fiction<br />
Flat tappet engines can’t use synthetic oil because the lifters won’t rotate – the synthetic oil<br />
is too slippery.<br />
This is a variation on the first myth that has become popular since flat tappet camshaft failures began to increase about a<br />
decade ago. Like the first myth, the origin relates to the misapplication of passenger car motor oil. Twenty years ago it was<br />
common for racers to use off-the-shelf motor oils in their racing engines because the oils contained enough ZDDP (Zinc) to protect<br />
aggressive camshaft designs. Over time though, the ZDDP levels in synthetic off-the-shelf oils were reduced due to EPA<br />
regulations for passenger cars. This reduction caused these formulations to be insufficient for protecting flat tappet camshafts.<br />
This implied that the problem was with the synthetic oil rather than the lack of ZDDP. However, choosing a synthetic motor oil<br />
with special formulation that includes more ZDDP will protect your flat tappet camshaft.<br />
fiction<br />
Once you use synthetic motor oil, you can never change back to conventional oil.<br />
An engine running conventional motor oil can change to synthetic motor oil, and vice versa. However, it is not a good idea<br />
to switch back and forth between different BraNds of oil. But more importantly than brand, use the correct tyPe of oil for<br />
your engine. Most high performance and racing engines are actually broken in initially on conventional oil (specially formulated<br />
for engine break-in) and then switched to a properly formulated synthetic oil for use after break-in. The key is to select an oil<br />
formulated for the specific needs of your application, and then stick with that product.<br />
fact<br />
Synthetic oils are bad for engines with old seals.<br />
This myth turns out to be true in MOST (but not all) applications. “Old” refers to engines built before 1992. Synthetic base oils<br />
are not compatible with many of the traditional seal materials, and even with “seal conditioner” additives, synthetic oils are<br />
harder on traditional seal materials than conventional oils. To avoid leaking seals, avoid very light synthetic motor oils in older<br />
engines. The low viscosity and resulting free flowing nature of the synthetic make it easier for the oil to find a leak path. Higher<br />
viscosity oils tend to leak less.<br />
There is a simple solution to this problem, however. Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> developed CSP<br />
(Coolant System Protector) in response to the corrosion problems the Joe Gibbs Racing<br />
NASCAR teams faced due to the sanctioning body’s rule that does not allow competitors<br />
to run anti-freeze. NASCAR requires only pure H 2O. Driven CSP neutralizes hard water<br />
minerals like Calcium and Magnesium so that they cannot cause the aforementioned corrosion<br />
in your cooling system. It can be used with both anti-freeze and regular water and<br />
also reduces the surface tension of water, allowing for better heat transfer for improved<br />
cooling. In addition, CSP lubricates water pumps for improved pump life.<br />
Driven CSP will work for a full season of racing and should be drained and refilled after the<br />
end of each one. Driven Racing <strong>Oil</strong> CSP can be used in any racing series or sanctioning<br />
body where water is required.<br />

High performance cleaning<br />
and protection products<br />
No sooner had Kleers launched its range of market leading car care products in spring 2010, the company<br />
began to develop a brand new range designed specifically for motorsport applications. Surprisingly,<br />
motorsport is a sector that has never been directly targeted by car care product manufacturers and<br />
Kleers now leads the way in developing new lines to fulfil the needs of competitors, teams and car<br />
owners.<br />
With its founders involved with motorsport for many years, they saw first-hand the need for a range of<br />
products that would not only meet the requirements of competitors, but offer a level of performance<br />
that would stand up to the job they had to perform. Through careful observation and listening to<br />
feedback from key team members and experts in the motorsport world, a brand new range of highquality<br />
products began to emerge - each designed and developed to cater for a specific need that had<br />
been highlighted by people at the sharp end of the sport.<br />
As well as blend chemicals that would produce excellent results every time, it was important that the<br />
products performed quickly and efficiently, as time is crucial in the heat of competition. To achieve this,<br />
each and every item was tested in race conditions and, it wasn't until all the boxes were ticked, did they<br />
get the green light to go into production.<br />
Kleers has also gone a step further than just the chemical formulation of the products themselves and<br />
has carefully considered the type of container required for each application – making sure that it is the<br />
right size and uses the right dispensing mechanism - features that make them efficient and easy to use.<br />
Added to this, each item has been distinctively branded to differentiate it from the company's<br />
mainstream range of premium quality car care products.<br />
Already, Kleers Motorsport products are being used by some of the world's leading team's in some of the<br />
world's most prestigious events, including Formula 1, the World Rally Championship, the World<br />
Endurance Championship, Le Mans, NASCAR, Grand Am, ALMS and a range of high profile GT<br />
championships – to name but a few.<br />
Suitable for:<br />

Developed over a two-year period, the Aero Performer Surface Preparation Kit is a ground breaking innovation from Kleers, specifically<br />
engineered to achieve maximum surface performance by reducing drag and the build up of foreign objects.<br />
After studying the amount of debris: rubber, insects and general grime that is collected from the race-track, it became apparent that the<br />
interruption in air-flow – albeit small in same cases – could cause drag or sometimes the loss of aerodynamic efficiency, especially if the<br />
unwanted items were stuck to leading edges, splitters, wings, body panels and flat-floors. In addition, these objects would add weight to the<br />
vehicle, particularly in long-distance events.<br />
By using the kit’s Paint Cleaner and applying Kleers Aero Performer liquid using the colour-coded microfibre cloths, debris build up and<br />
therefore drag is dramatically reduced on the treated areas. There are no visible signs of using the product once it has been applied.<br />
• This product is recommended for use on high performing, aero-sensitive racing cars, such as: F1, GP2,F3,<br />
LMP1, LMP2, GT, GTE, NASCAR, GrandAm, V8 etc.<br />
• Not recommended for use on glass or plastic windows<br />
• 50ml refill bottles can be purchased separately<br />

“I use Kleers Helmet Sanitiser Spray every time I use my helmet. It’s the first thing I do when I take<br />
it off and it keeps it really fresh. I cannot recommend this product enough.”<br />
Richard Westbrook: Twice Porsche Carrera Cup Champion; twice Porsche Super Cup Champion;<br />
professional GT driver: Le Mans, ALMS and FIA GT Championships.<br />
“Kleers Sanitiser Spray really works well. It gives the helmet a nice smell and the sensation of being<br />
fresh and clean, even after a big race day.”<br />
Enrique Bernoldi: Formula 1 driver: Sauber, Arrows, BAR-Honda; professional driver in FIA World<br />
GT Championship, IndyCar Championship, Champ Cars and Touring Cars.<br />
“My crash helmet is the one piece of my race equipment that can’t be washed easily. So<br />
after hours of sitting in a hot car, keeping the lining as fresh is a real challenge. Kleers<br />
Crash Helmet Sanitiser does the job and manages to keep the odours at bay.”<br />
Peter Dumbreck: Professional driver: Le Mans, DTM, GT and FIA World Endurance Championship.<br />

liberal spray of Kleers Marble and Bug Remover, which should be left for 15<br />
seconds before wiping off, will provide a quick and easy solution to an ageold<br />
problem.<br />

neck which prevents vapours from escaping. Each can holds 20 litres<br />

Note: the size of the neck design means that it will only work with<br />
wide aperture filler necks.<br />

Delivery time scale<br />
The freight companies we use offer a standard 3 day delivery service<br />
or at additional cost, the option of a next day service throughout<br />
the majority of the UK. We cannot accept responsibility for orders<br />
that are delayed in transit. Due to their hazardous nature, all fuel<br />
orders must be signed for on delivery. All routine deliveries are made<br />
during Monday to Friday. Saturday deliveries may be possible, at<br />
extra cost.<br />
