Watsons Water and Racing
Watsons Water has supported many racing teams and drivers over the years. They often sponsored cars in the famous Macau Grand Prix, which is a big car race.
Their first time sponsoring a race was in 1985. The next year, in 1986, a driver named Andy Wallace won the Formula Three race with Watsons Water as a sponsor. They continued to support different teams and drivers, and their sponsored cars won several races in the late 1980s and 1990s.
For example, in 1991, Watsons Water partnered with a racing team called Schnitzer. Their driver, Emanuele Pirro, won the race that year. Another driver, Steve Soper, also won a race for a Watsons-sponsored team in 1997. He even set a record for the fastest lap time in a touring car race, which lasted for many years!
In the 2000s, Watsons Water kept sponsoring winning teams and drivers. One driver, Duncan Huisman, won the Guia Race four times with their support. This shows how Watsons Water has been a big part of the racing world for a long time.
