Petron Malaysia has announced that it has renewed its commitment with Formula 4 Southeast Asia (F4 SEA), returning as the official fuel and engine oil partner for the 2018 season. The oil company first signed on to sponsor the feeder race series last year.
“The last two seasons demonstrated the superior qualities of Blaze 100 Euro 4M and Blaze Racing Fully Synthetic Engine Oil in providing Formula cars the much-needed power and efficient engine responsiveness. We are happy that our high-octane Blaze 100 and Blaze Racing Engine Oil proved to be the best match for Formula 4 vehicles,” said Petron Malaysia head of retail Faridah Ali.
Promoted by the Asian Autosport Action (AAA) group, F4 SEA is designed to transition 15- to 19-year-old racers from karting to formula racing, giving them the foundation they need to progress to other formulas like Formula 1, or move into GT racing. The series focuses on the driver experience and development by ensuring a level playing field thanks to one-make racing using homologated F4 cars and engines.
The series says that it has helped local drivers such as Nasim Azman, Adam Khalid and rookie Muizz Musyaffa to step up their game and facilitated their development in professional motorsport. The achievements of Muizz and Nazim in particular were recognised during the recent Meritus Awards Gala, with Muizz also receiving a scholarship from the Sepang International Circuit to compete in the new season.
“The championship has grown from strength to strength and continuous to attract a substantial amount of exposure and interest amongst racing fans. We are thrilled with the way the championship has progressed. This season’s sponsorship will further cement our foothold in the development of motorsports in the region, making our brand synonymous with this FIA certified championship,” Faridah added.
The 2018 F4 SEA season kicked off in Sepang earlier this month, and will continue in Madras, India and Buriram, Thailand before returning to Malaysia for the season finale.

petron, my favorite petrol…
While our SEA parent owner of the fuel company in (Philippines) is offering RON100 at Euro 6 only. Its quite unfortunate that we offer a downgraded fuel quality when Philippines is also part of SEA.
