The leading automatic fuel station network in Latvia, Neste, has become the title sponsor of Latvian round of FIA World Rallycross Championship presented by Monster Energy, and the official name of the event taking place on October 1 and 2 will be NESTE WORLD RX OF LATVIA.
Neste is expanding its collaboration with RA Events and making it possible to organise a world class event right here in Latvia, giving the Latvian fans a chance to see the local talents Reinis Nitišs and Jānis Baumanis battling it out for the podium with world motorsports stars Sébastien Loeb, Petter Solberg and Ken Block. Neste has sponsored various motorsports events organised by RA Events in Latvia in the past, including the Latvian Rally Championship event Rally Talsi and FIA European Rally Championship round Rally Liepāja.
“I am happy to say that the increasing international significance of motorsports events organised by RA Events is valued by our long-time partner Neste, whose core values – responsibility, collaboration, innovation and excellence – go hand in hand with not only the values of RA Events, but those of the FIA World Rallycross Championship as well. It is my great pleasure to tell you that Neste has become the title sponsor of Latvia RX, with the official name of the event now upgraded to Neste World RX of Latvia!” says RA Events director Raimonds Strokšs.
“Top quality fuel from Finland and motorsports are two things that everyone associates with Neste. That is because, for the last few decades, Neste has been an active supporter of motorsports events in both Latvia and Finland. By supporting the Latvian round of the FIA World Rallycross Championship we support the chance for local rallycross talents to show what they can do on the international stage, as well as assist in increasing the popularity and development of rallycross as a sport in Latvia,” adds SIA Neste Latvija Chairman of the Board, Arttu Airiainen.
