Passion, endurance, quality and history are all words which figure strongly in the DNA of internationally recognised lubricant company, Motul. They are, equally, words which could be ascribed to the historic, world-renowned Carrera Panamericana rally in Mexico, an event with which Motul is now official lubricant partner.
In 2014 the legendary rally will begin in Veracruz on 17 October, and cover over 3,000 kilometers of extremely harsh surfaces and conditions on its way to the finish in Durango on October 23. The 90 entrants will encounter climatic temperatures ranging from tropical to near freezing within the space of 72 hours, and compete at altitudes between sea level and three thousand meters – all of which requires very high quality, specialist lubricants.
Nicolas Zaugg, Manager of Motul’s Latin America region, said about the partnership: “For several years, Motul has been supporting the teams taking part in the race. We helped the victorious 1953 Studebaker with Pierre de Thoisy at the wheel to break the speed record on Mexican roads at a dazzling 316km/h in 2003. We are now very proud to step up our effort for La Carrera Panamericana, one of the most emblematic and demanding race in the world, hence associating our name to values such as challenge, performance and tradition.”
