Since the beginning of the 2024 season, PT Pertamina Patra Niaga, through its flagship product Pertamax Turbo, has been actively contributing to this prestigious event by being one of the sponsors of Team WRT 31 and appointing Sean as the brand ambassador for Pertamax Turbo to promote this environmentally friendly fuel in international arenas.

Pertamina Patra Niaga president director Riva Siahaan extended congratulations to Sean and Team WRT 31 for this achievement. This is a proud accomplishment for the nation that deserves appreciation.

“We congratulate Team WRT 31 for finishing in second position through tremendous effort. Pertamax Turbo's support in this world racing event can further enhance the global recognition of Indonesia's environmentally friendly fuel,” said Riva on June 17.

Sean, along with Team WRT 31, started from P15 and initially dropped to P20 in the LMGT3 class. However, their relentless effort day and night on both dry and wet tracks enabled Team WRT 31 to achieve second position.

“This has been a tough battle. We are grateful to everyone who supported us until we secured second position. Our collaboration with Pertamax Turbo has also helped raise awareness of this environmentally friendly fuel after we stepped onto the podium,” Sean said.

Pertamina Patra Niaga corporate secretary Irto Petrus Ginting, added that the successful collaboration between Team WRT 31 and Pertamax Turbo was attributed to the quality of Pertamax Turbo with RON 98, which competes effectively with other world-class fuels.

“Pertamax Turbo meets the high-tech gasoline engine needs with EURO 4 standards and high performance. Pertamax Turbo is available at Pertamina gas stations,” Irto said.

Pertamina corporate communications VP Fadjar Djoko Santoso congratulated and expressed pride in Sean's achievement, which was also thanks to the support from Pertamina Patra Niaga. This achievement is fully supported not only to introduce world-class Pertamina products but also as proof that Indonesians can make a mark on the global automotive stage.

“Pertamax Turbo and Sean Gelael are two sources of pride for Indonesia that can speak globally through quality and performance,” Fadjar said.
