Yuasa Batteries was recently announced as the series’ Official Battery Partner for 2024 and today announced it will also back the #3 Mazda BT-50 as the former Ute champion eyes his first championship title in the dual-cab era.
“We are ecstatic to welcome David Sieders as an Official Yuasa Batteries Ambassador while driving his Mazda BT-50 as part of Yuasa Batteries Racing in 2024,” said Andrew Bottoms, Century Yuasa Batteries, Marketing Manager – Australia & New Zealand.
“Following our recent announcement of joining the category as the Official Battery Partner, we were eager to align ourselves with a fantastic driver and David is the perfect choice. He’s a winner, a great ambassador for motorsport and we know that he’ll proudly be sporting the red, white and black in pursuit of the championship title he obviously deserves to win.”
A multiple race and round winner, Sieders won the V8 Ute Racing Series back in 2016 before making the transition to V8 SuperUtes upon its creation in 2018. Finishing top-five the last two seasons, the Sydneysider believes backing from the respected battery brand will be the catalyst to earn more silverware in 2024.
“I really couldn’t think of a better company to partner with than Yuasa Batteries,” said Sieders. “They are a market leader, make quality and long-lasting battery products for car and 4×4, motorcycle and marine, and I’m looking forward to representing Yuasa Batteries with this exciting new team on track this year.
“The Tyrepower V8 SuperUtes is one of the most market-relevant racing categories in the country and our aim will not just spread the word about how good their batteries are, especially for the dual-cab buyers, but to make them a winning brand on the racetrack.
“Bathurst is always an amazing place to race and the #3 Yuasa Mazda BT-50 looks incredible. I’d love to give Yuasa Batteries a win next week when we start the 2024 season,” said Sieders.
Round 1 of the Tyrepower V8 SuperUte Series kicks off at the Thrifty Bathurst 500, Mount Panorama, from February 23-25, 2024.
All races in 2024 will be broadcast on FoxSports and Kayo once again, while there will be free-to-air television on the Seven Network for select races at the Thrifty Bathurst 500, Darwin, Bathurst 1000 and Gold Coast events.
