When in Formula One came to an end in 2019, I have to admit, I was a little disappointed. The energy drinks’ time sponsoring Haas was such a beautiful mess, and then it was over. But I have some good news: Rich Energy is back because this is just one of those brands that never says die.

The former Formula One sponsor has somehow become long-term title sponsor of OMG Racing of road racing and British Superbike fame, reports. And while I totally understand that the OMG-Rich Energy partnership sounds extremely fake, it is all too real.

“They are loud and aren’t afraid to look a bit daft at times by doing things differently,” is certainly one way to describe Rich Energy.

Well... here’s hoping OMG know what they’re getting themselves into. Let’s all buckle up and enjoy this ride.
