Official Partner Stake F1 Kick Sauber
The Pinnacle of Global Motorsport
We’ve officially partnered with Stake F1 team KICK Sauber to bring our history of high performance to the pinnacle of global motorsport. Being a brand that is synonymous with performance fuels, supporting many US racing bodies, Sunoco is reentering the world of F1 after an almost 50-year hiatus.
Sunoco's History in F1
Sunoco’s history in F1 dates back to the 1970s partnering with Penske and driver Mark Donohue for three races. In a groundbreaking and experimental era of F1, Donohue put this car on the map. Sunoco supported this team and driver in F1, Can-Am, sports cars, Trans-Am, and the NASCAR Cup Series. F1 looks a lot different 50 years later as Sunoco becomes an Official Partner of Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber.
The 2024 Sauber C44 Race Car
This season, Sunoco’s logo will adorn the Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber C44 race car and driver kits during the US based 2024 Miami and Las Vegas Grand Prix. The 2024 car features a redesigned front suspension, which went from a push-rod system to pull-rod to improve the car's aerodynamic efficiency, and clocks in at a width of 2000mm, 970mm in height, and a 798kg weight while sporting a powerful hybrid turbo V6 engine.
