WHY THE WORLD’S TOP RACING DRIVERS USE MOTUL LUBRICANTS
From endurance racing to rally, drifting to hill climbs, Motul is heavily involved in all forms of motorsport. Here, five top drivers share why they use Motul lubricants in their race cars.
FORMER BTCC CHAMP AND CLASSIC CAR RACER ANDREW JORDAN
“Quality is the biggest thing. We look after 40 cars at the minute, which are very expensive and are equipped with very expensive components. You must ensure you are putting the right quality on everything. The engine oil, braking fluids, coolants, everything must be pure, quality stuff. It’s important for performance, but also endurance and longevity. It’s a good thing to have a quick car, but it must also last until the end of the race. The lubricants must look after the engine, the differentials and the gearbox during a whole season. It’s great working with a brand like Motul. We like to think we are the best in what we do, and Motul is the best in what they do, so it works very well. Now but also in the future.”
PROTOTYPE RACER FABIO SCHERER
“Motul’s products are vital in helping us get to the end of the race. If we lose engine power or, in the worst case, the engine completely stops working, we have to retire. So having good quality products that we know have been proven in motorsport make all the difference. Motul 300V has a long history in racing and has generated a lot of success for the teams who’ve used it. But it’s more than just the products, which are really good quality. The Motul people are really friendly to work with and we have a great match for success.”
BTCC RACER RORY BUTCHER
“Motul is a well-known brand in our industry and is held in such high regard. We're super proud to have them on side of the car and excited to see what else can come from it. The BTCC is the perfect place to be and we're so glad to have Motul backing us. I want to push myself to be the best I can be, and I think having the Motul products inside our engine and gearbox gives me the confidence to push them to their limit and know that they’re going to last the race and the season.”
PIKE’S PEAK WINNER ROBB HOLLAND
“Motul has been our trusted partner for a very long time. And we have faith in all its products. Especially when you go to a street circuit like Nashville, where it was 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and you're in the in the middle of the city, so there's no airflow. The car generates a tonne of heat and it's probably some of the most stressful conditions that you can race under. So knowing that you’ve got a product like Motul under the hood gives us the confidence to be able to push as that's what’s required to win.”
ENDURANCE RACER RAHEL FREY
“Iron Dames values long-term partnerships and to have the support of Motul is incredible for the team and its racing pursuits. The 24 Hours of Spa is not somewhere you can take risks and the team was extremely satisfied with the reliability and performance of the Motul products to bring the car home after a challenging race.”
