Russian top model Inessa Tushkanova and her long-time friend and co-driver Irina Jankovskaya will contest this weekend’s Rally Estonia in a Mitsubishi Evo sponsored by… Petro-Canada.

The two ladies will be contesting this round of the FIA European Rally Championship aboard a Lancer Evo IX carrying No. 61.

What’s very interesting here is that the car is in part sponsored by Petro-Canada, the retail and wholesale marketing brand of Suncor Energy.

Suncor Energy does business with Gazprom, a sponsor of Tushkanova. Gazprom is the largest extractor of natural gas in the world.
