LOCAL Karting team Pure Racing have secured sponsorship from Banks DIH under its Sprite Brand.

The company yesterday handed over sponsorship to several members of the karting team ahead of the 2019 season-opener, set for GT Motorsports this weekend.
Speaking to the media today, Non-Alcoholic Brand manager Jennifer Khan contended that the company is looking to move in a new direction.

“It’s an area where it’s new for us so this is just testing the water to see what happens. It falls under the Coca-Cola umbrella and this is our first venture into this. We hope it bears fruit.”

Representing Pure Racing, Annalisa Phang expressed the team’s happiness to have secured this sponsorship.

“Pure Racing is delighted to have Banks DIH and Sprite on board finally. We’ve been working very hard to get them on board with us and we will certainly make you proud.”
“That is what Pure Racing is about. It’s about loving the sport, loving the machines and the need for speed.”

The team includes Ben Phang in the Baby Cup, Justin Ten-Pow in the Sunburst 60cc Kids cup, Jeremy Ten-Pow and Paige Mendonca in the 125cc X30 Juniors and Jhon Phang in the 125cc X30 Seniors.
