Worldwide Truck Racing Sponsorship
Syntech Biofuel are delighted to be fuel sponsors for champion driver Ryan Smith and the Worldwide Truck Racing Team.
Huge congratulations to Ryan Smith on winning his ninth consecutive British Truck Racing Championship.
2024 has been another incredible year for Ryan and his Worldwide Truck Racing Team with his dedication shining through to secure the Championship title at Brands Hatch, the final meet of the year.
This ninth win ensures Ryan’s position as one of the greats of the sport. Stuart Oliver holds the record for the number of wins at ten. Ryan’s ability to win has proven to be consistent for another year with his determination to achieve success being particularly evident during the last two meets of the year at Le Mans and Brands Hatch, where he won all nine races to decisively conclude the Championship. Comparing any driver is always difficult, however, just taking wins and titles alone, Ryan’s ability to succeed from any position on the grid marks him out as a master of his craft. His skills undoubtedly allow him to shine as talented driver and with his results to underline his ability British Truck Racing have a star player worthy of any great driving achievement in the world of motor sport.
With sights set on a tenth consecutive title in 2025, Syntech Biofuel is proud to stand behind Ryan’s team and support vehicles to continue our partnership throughout the forthcoming season.
Ryan’s championship winning performances fuelled by Syntech Advanced Smart Biofuel (Syntech ASB) are a glowing testament to the quality and performance of our fuel.
Ryan and the team have reported an improvement of 3/10s per lap in comparison to when they fuelled with a leading conventional fuel.
This means that he is not just very fast but that he is importantly racing sustainably in a sport that is desperately trying to reduce its carbon footprint.
In Ryan’s own words: “As soon as we started testing on Syntech ASB the improvements were noticeable. Our onboard telemetry showed 3/10s of a second faster lap time than with our previous fuel which has made us even more competitive at race circuits.
Motor sport as a whole is seeking carbon reducing solutions and I believe Syntech ASB could be the saviour of truck racing in its current format. During a race our emissions thresholds are monitored by lambda sensors and we will receive penalty points or drive through penalties when those thresholds are exceeded. Since fuelling with Syntech ASB we have not received any penalties at all.
Syntech’s ASB performance and efficiency levels, alongside its sustainability credentials, make this a really thrilling sponsorship deal. We’re proud to have Syntech Biofuel behind us.”

41 year-old Smith, who only began racing in 2014, has so far enjoyed success in both the Delphi British Truck Racing Championship – Division 2 and the FIA ETRC, where he made his debut at Spielberg in 2015.
Driving a MAN truck with a self-run team, Smith put in eye-catching FIA ETRC performances at Red Bull Ring and Nogaro in 2015.
