It’s go for OSCARO as Series Presenting Partner of WTCR – FIA World Touring Car Cup

Eurosport Events, promoter of the WTCR - FIA World Touring Car Cup, has extended its long-standing alliance with OSCARO under a new, two-year agreement for the world's leading online retailer of original automotive spare parts to become Series Presenting Partner of the new WTCR.

Having initially supported John Filippi's participation in the FIA World Touring Car Championship, OSCARO made the decision to increase its involvement by joining forces with WTCC promoter Eurosport Events in 2015. Eurosport Events tailor-made the sponsorship of ‘Repair Time' in between races to fit OSCARO's DNA with free-standing icon boards indicating to TV viewers what parts needed changing. For 2016, OSCARO increased its involvement further by signing as an Official Series Partner of the world championship, an arrangement that continued into 2017.

Recognising the numerous brand awareness and additional promotional and marketing opportunities offered by the all-new WTCR, Pierre-Noël Luiggi, CEO of OSCARO, said: "Becoming the title partner of the WTCR was a straightforward decision for us.

We are very excited by the new dimension of our partnership with Eurosport Events and we can bet the series will be very popular with touring car fans around the world."
