Refinish & RML Group Join Forces
DuPont Refinish has been appointed as official
supplier to the RML Group. This association will see DuPont
Refinish providing advanced product and technical support
across a range of RML motorsport and automotive projects
including the Chevrolet World Touring programme and the
MG Lola Le Mans 24 Hour project.
The
DuPont Refinish range of innovative and unique automotive
paint products, and the technical support that is offered,
made it the ideal choice of official supplier to the RML
Group. Ray Mallock, RML’s Chief Executive, said; “We
are pleased to be associated with the DuPont Refinish brand.
The company is well-known for the quality of their products
and the level of technical support they offer is second
to none. We look forward to achieving more success both
on and off the track with support from DuPont Refinish”.
The
collaboration with RML builds upon the highly successful
DuPont partnership with Chevrolet in the United States,
where DuPont is principal sponsor of car #24 driven by former
NASCAR Nextel Cup Champion Jeff Gordon.
“We
are delighted that DuPont Refinish is official supplier
to the RML Group including the Chevrolet World Touring Car
team for the 2007 WTCC season. Such a dynamic and exciting
team fits perfectly with the ethos behind the DuPont Refinish
brand. All race cars, showcars, transporters and team support
vehicles will be painted with the highly productive DuPont
Refinish paint. This will be particularly important for
the race cars as the speed of repair will mean less down-time.
Everyone at DuPont Refinish is looking forward to the first
European race date in May,” says Linda Van Calster,
DuPont Refinish marketing and communications manager EMEA.
