Hot off the presses: Red Line Synthetic Oil and Skip Barber Racing School announced yesterday that they are partnering together. Red Line will provide Skip Barber’s entire fleet of Mustang GTs with motor oil, transmission fluid, gear oil and brake fluid and along with technical support for its products. That’s no small feat for a fleet of cars that will see 20,000 track miles per year. Most of us don’t even put that many miles on our daily drivers, let alone on a track. That’s quite the seal of approval. Skip Barber Racing School thinks so, too, as they’re featuring Red Line’s logo on their Mustang GTs.

RED LINE SYNTHETIC OIL PARTNERS WITH SKIP BARBER RACING SCHOOL AS THE OFFICIAL LUBRICANT SUPPLIER

 

Benicia, Calif. (March 27, 2019) – Red Line Synthetic Oil, a leader in the performance lubricants industry, today announced a partnership with legendary motorsports training academy, the Skip Barber Racing School. Going forward, Red Line products will be the exclusive supplier of lubricants used by the school. The company will also provide technical support, ensuring that the Skip Barber Racing School is outfitted with the highest quality products available at all times.

 

As the official lubricant supplier of the Skip Barber Racing School, Red Line will outfit each Mustang GT in Skip Barber’s fleet with motor oil, transmission fluid, gear oil and brake fluid to ensure the cars are fully equipped to handle the demanding race track conditions, day in and day out. Each vehicle will see over 150 track days per year, so high-quality lubricants are essential. To signify the partnership, Skip Barber’s Mustang GTs will prominently feature Red Line’s logo on the vehicles.

 

We are thrilled to team up with the Skip Barber Racing School, one of the most respected names in motorsports instruction and training,” said Michael Andrew at Red Line Synthetic Oil. “Skip Barber has carved a reputation as a premiere race car driving school and is an ideal partner to showcase the superior quality and longevity of Red Line products crafted from Red Line’s own racing heritage.”

 

Our cars are some of the hardest working vehicles out there, eclipsing 20,000 track miles per year, and because of this they require the best lubricants and additives to keep them running at their peak,” said Anthony DeMonte, CEO at the Skip Barber Racing School. “Red Line Synthetic Oil’s dedication to motorsports and quality aligns with Skip Barber’s mission to provide the very best instruction to anyone looking to learn and improve their driving.”

 

Red Line Synthetic Oil and the Skip Barber Racing School were founded in the 1970s and quickly became renowned leaders in their respective industries. Both companies have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the world of motorsports. Skip Barber graduates have distinguished themselves with podium appearances in all the major, international series including Formula 1, NASCAR, IMSA, Blancpain GT World Challenge America, CanAm and IndyCar. Similarly, Red Line’s products have been used by championship winning teams to give them the utmost edge over the competition. Through this partnership, the two businesses will continue their mandate of excellence in motorsports in a new and exciting way.

Wait a second, I thought Skip Barber went bankrupt. Guess I was wrong. Nice to see them still around.

I was also under the impression Skip Barber was at least shut down for the time being. If they are back up and running it is a pleasant surprise.

I too thought that they were dead and buried but a quick Google search shows that I'm behind the times.  Here -> Link is and article that talks a little about the story of their resurrection.

A new group got the rights to the name.  I did their 3 day racing school at Laguna Seca over Christmas and it was really well run.
