The all new V8SuperTourer series is set to get off to a cracking start with the announcement that Woodstock, New Zealand’s number one bourbon and cola brand has signed on as the title sponsor of Andy Booth’s number 23 Holden at the new high quality event kicking off on the 17th February.

Two time New Zealand V8 champion and former New Zealand Grand Prix winner Andy Booth will be behind the wheel of the new Team Woodstock Racing car at the series featuring some of the fastest V8s ever raced at tracks across the country.

Andy Booth of Team Woodstock Racing says the partnership with Woodstock is one of the most exciting deals he has been involved with to date.

“The V8SuperTourer series is the most exciting event in the twenty plus years I have been involved in motorsport and the Woodstock brand adds another level of credibility to the new series; we are excited to have one of New Zealand’s most iconic brands on board.”

Tim Beck, Woodstock marketing manager says the brand is proud to be the title sponsor of Andy Booth’s team in what is to be an exciting series.

“Many people who enjoy cracking a Woody are into V8’s and motorsports, so this opportunity seemed a very good fit. We are delighted to be teaming up with Andy, and we are looking forward to the new series kicking off, and the action at tracks all round the country.

“Woodstock has had a long association with motorsport in New Zealand. The Woodstock brand will feature on the car, driver, transporter, signage, website and merchandise.”
