Veyance Technologies Africa, manufacturers and distributors of Goodyear RAM belts and hoses and air springs as well as Gatorback belts in South Africa, have announced their sponsorship for Clare Vale, the first female driver in the Wesbank V8 Supercar Championship.

“Goodyear RAM products have always been synonymous with high quality and exceptional performance,” says Colin Preddy, GM Automotive Division of Veyance Technologies. “We believe that our partnership with Clare Vale will emphasise our total commitment to high performance service and products for the automotive industry.”

Clare has done exceptionally well in her first season with the Ford Mustang V8 Supercar, culminating in a strong 6^th place overall at the last race at Phakisa in Welkom. With support from Goodyear RAM, she is determined to continue her rapid progression in the series.

“Our team is a perfect fit with Goodyear RAM,” she says. “We share the same dedication to excellence, and are constantly seeking ways to improve and deliver our best performance. Motorsport is the ideal arena in which to test and prove high performance products, and needless to say, both our Mustang race car and International racing transporter are equipped only with Goodyear RAM belts and hoses.”

The Wesbank V8 Supercar Championship forms part of South Africa’s premier national motorsport championship, the Wesbank Super Series. The cars are potent V8 muscle cars, with 600hp on tap and can reach speeds of over 300km/h. The 8^th round of the series takes place at Zwartkops in Pretoria on Saturday 6^th September.
