RML Group will again enjoy high-level technical support from DuPont Refinish in 2008 following its highly successful year as an official supplier to the team last season.

Both companies enjoyed triumph on and off track in 2007, sealing the decision to continue the link-up for a further 12 months.

RML will receive expert technical support from DuPont Refinish with all race cars, showcars and team support vehicles painted with the company's highly-productive refinish paint. This includes the Chevrolet Lacetti World Touring Car, MG-Lola Sportscar and Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT.

In return, the DuPont Corporate oval will appear on the Chevrolet Lacetti race cars, showcars and team support vehicles.

RML is one of the most successful teams in international motorsport, having secured 15 major racing titles in the past decade through a variety of series and competitions.

Ray Mallock, Chief Executive of RML Group, said: "we are delighted to renew our agreement with DuPont Refinish for it to again become an official supplier of RML. It is a company world-renowned for its quality products and superb technical support, and we look forward to highly-successful 2008 together, following our fantastic 2007."

Kevin Docherty, DuPont Refinish brand development manager, EMEA, says, "all of us here at DuPont Refinish are excited to be working with RML again for the second year running. Being named official supplier to such a dynamic team fits perfectly with the ethos behind the DuPont Refinish brand. We'd like to wish RML the best of luck for the 2008 season."
