The agreement concluded with GT Series organiser SRO Motorsports Group will ensure Total’s ELF brand will remain its official fuel and lubricants supplier for the 2016 season.
Along with other branding rights, Total will also continue as title sponsor of the showpiece 24 Hours of Spa race in Belgium.
