DOOSAN - NZ Offshore Powerboat Racing
The 2010 NZ Offshore power boat points leader Doosan, with driver Sam Fillmore and Cary Gleeson on throttles, have been consistent performers in their first year in the Superboat division, holding the top spot since race one in Taupo in January. Doosan runs exclusively on Schaeffer lubricants.
The final round of the series to be held on Auckland harbour is scheduled for 8 May 2010. For further details see www.extemeoffshore.co.nz
NZ Super Sedans
From 2006 - 2008 Schaeffer Oil were the class sponsors of the Schaeffer Oil NZ Super Sedans. The highly modified vehicles that compete in this series provide a perfect testing environment for Schaeffer's high performance racing products and Schaeffer lubricants are well represented in the class.
The Corvette driven by series champion Grant Brennan exclusively used Schaeffer Racing Oil.
NZ V8's
Schaeffer 705 Racing Oil was been used by the SCG Racing Team throughout the 2007/2008 racing season. For the showpiece event during the Hamilton 400 Street Race the David Besnard driven Ford was sponsored by Schaeffer Oil.
The car powered by a Grant Brennan made engine proved to be very competitive recording a third placing in Race 1 and setting a track record in Race 2 while leading for the first 5 laps. A slow puncture and enforced pitstop put David down the field. Having improved from 7th on the grid up to 4th positon early in Race 3, a brake failure prematurely ended racing in spectatular style as the car slid and spun through turn one.
