Motul and Honda enjoyed a long standing relationship, working
together to develop superior racing grade engine oils for Honda
motorbike engines. Over the July 17 and 18 weekend, Honda racing
teams showcased how this collaboration with the French oil
manufacturer has resulted in amazing results. F.C.C. TSR Honda
France took their first win of the FIM Endurance World Championship
2021 season at the 12 Hours of Estoril in Portugal. Similarly,
Motul-powered Team HRC secured the overall victory at MXGP of The
Netherlands. It was an incredible weekend to celebrate for Motul,
helping Honda achieve success across multiple championships.
The FIM EWC witnessed spectacular racing as the series shifted to
the famous Cicuito do Esotril on the Portuguese Riviera.
Notwithstanding some of the hottest temperatures of the year,
F.C.C. TSR Honda France rose to the occasion and secured an
emphatic win. Honda's collaboration with Motul over the last few
decades has led to the development of the Motul 300V Factory Line
Racing Kit Oil 2376H 0W-30 ESTER Core®, engineered specifically for
the CBR1000RR engine. The Honda EWC bike has proved to be highly
compatible with this lubricant, delivering superior power output
without compromising reliability. The 300V lubricant helped keep
the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP reliable for more than 400 laps. The
other Motul-powered Honda team, National Motos, was able to take a
well-deserved podium finish in the Superstock class. They were also
awarded the Dunlop Independent Trophy for a second race running.
The strong results of both Honda teams was a testament to the
performance the Motul 300V can deliver.
The fourth round of the FIM MXGP in The Netherlands took place in
Oss on Sunday. Tim Gasjer from Team HRC went into the weekend as
the championship leader. Motul has enjoyed a fruitful partnership
with Team HRC, providing them with lubricants for the highly
demanding Motocross competition and achieving championship success
over the previous years. Team HRC's CRF450RW uses the Motul 300V
Factory Line Off Road 5W-40 4T to ensure high performance and
reliability throughout the race. The lubricant is able to perform
at high RPM levels and protects the bike engine from shocks and
stress experienced in the dirt racing competition. Tim Gasjer
achieved P3 in the first race and P2 in the second race, awarding
him the overall victory for the weekend and extending his
championship lead.
Motul's association with Honda is the perfect example of the French
company's philosophy of developing and testing products in a racing
application before making it available to a wider customer base.
The high performance characteristic of the 300V has been
detrimental to the championship success the lubricant has been able
to attain for so many years, powering numerous teams to victory.
Motul continues to work with OEMs to improve and innovate their
products, providing the best results for their customers. The Honda
teams' achievements over the third weekend of July proved once
again how well Motul 300V works to provide performance.
