He added: “We have achieved great exposure for the Exide brand through this sponsorship and the continuance of the same is a better fit for where we are right now – the market leaders in automotive batteries in Sri Lanka. We truly appreciate our partnership with Gunner Supercross and look forward to continuing our association next year as well.”
