The Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) only lasted 9 seasons (1966-1974), but while they raced it was the pinnacle of motorsport technology. The Can-Am pushed the limits of engineering. Advances were made in aerodynamics, turbocharging, and the use of materials such as fibreglass, aluminium, and titanium. That is until a gas crisis, rules makers, and the increasing cost of new technology ended it.

That sponsor is taking one awfully big risk.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Daytona, FL - Raptor Racing is pleased to announce that the Sun Oil Company (Sunoco) has signed a late deal to become the title sponsor of the #71 Lola T163 for the 1969 Can-Am season. While financial details will not be disclosed, this deal will hopefully enable Raptor Racing to compete among the upper echelon of Can-Am racing.

"Sunoco is a natural fit with our team and we both demand a high level of performance in our respective disciplines" said Raptor Racing management. "While we know that it will be a tall order to compete with the McLaren's, this deal will make it all the more possible to run up front this season"
