CEAT forms team of racing superstars

CEAT has united the cream of the country’s motor racing talent in one team that will race under CEAT colours this year, providing a powerful endorsement of the brand’s credentials and performance by the users themselves.

Ace drivers Upulwan Serasinghe, Janaka Dias, Lalin Kirinda, Shashika Lakmal Wijerathna, Chathura Priyankara Wijeratne, Lt. Colonel Duminda Jayasinghe, Lt. Colonel Indu Samarakoon, Prasanna De Alwis and Janith Kumarage were formally signed on to the CEAT Racing Team recently, as part of the support extended to local motor racing by CEAT Kelani Holdings.

The drivers will compete at all gravel and tarmac racing events to be conducted in Sri Lanka in 2013, and will use CEAT radial tyres exclusively at all tarmac events that they race in, including the ‘one-make’ races conducted by Sri Lanka Automobile Sports (SLAS). Besides its sponsorship of the annual championship of Sri Lanka Automobile Sports, CEAT Kelani Holdings also sponsors several annual racing events conducted by the Sri Lanka Army and the Sri Lanka Air Force.
