GRIDLIFE is excited to announce that its fast growing wheel-to-wheel competition series, GRIDLIFE Touring Cup (GLTC), has just added two big names to the series’ list of sponsors. Valvoline and Advance Auto Parts will be supporting the 2021 GLTC season as Official Sponsors.
The co-sponsors will be supporting the season while promoting Valvoline VR1 Racing Motor Oil, available at all Advance Auto Parts retail locations. Additionally, Valvoline and Advance will offer exclusive discounts to GRIDLIFE season drivers.
Valvoline will be flying the flag on track as well during the 2021 season. Three-time Formula Drift Champion, Chris Forsberg, will be shredding tires on his Valvoline-Nissan Altimaniac drift taxi at multiple events throughout the season. Forsberg will also support the GLTC series with pro-driver Bryan Heitkotter piloting the Forsberg Racing team’s NISMO Parts USA 370Z. Also in the GLTC field representing team Valvoline is the Winning Formula team.

“The Valvoline partnership is a long time coming. COVID-19 threw a wrench in the announcement in 2020, but the Valvoline team stayed in close contact throughout the year, and our relationship has really solidified. They’re the real deal. Valvoline genuinely wants to be a part of the GRIDLIFE experience and GLTC series. We look forward to building a great program together in 2021, and beyond.”
