Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross will have a new look racing into the first two double-headers of the 2017 Red Bull Global Rallyross season, shifting colors as Scott Speed shifts gears in his No. 41 ORAFOL Beetle GRC at Global Rallycross events in New England and Ontario.
ORAFOL Americas, a recognized global manufacturer of premium vinyl graphic products, reflective solutions and adhesive tape systems used in signage, graphics, industrial, traffic and safety applications is extending their partnership with Andretti Autosport under a multiyear agreement. Through the partnership, ORAFOL will have a significant presence with the Volkswagen Andretti Rallycross effort for the next two events and will adorn Scott Speed’s color-shifting car as he takes to the track for Rounds 3 and 4 in Thompson, Connecticut, and Rounds 5 and 6 in Ottawa, Ontario.
An integral part of Andretti Autosport’s family of partners, ORAFOL has been heavily used within the team’s Indianapolis-based motorsport facility and race car entries since 2008, providing products used across the team’s IndyCar, Indy Lights and Global Rallycross programs.
