Motul is becoming Partner of The Finnish Rally Championship

Motul as one of Europe's most innovating and fastest growing lubricants companies is now taking a step further into the Finnish world of motorsport by signing an agreement with AKK Sports Ltd as partner to The Finnish Rally Championships.

The Rally Championships in Finland is without any doubts one of the most prestigious national rally events in the world. This championship has over the years shaped more international rally stars than any other local championships around the world.  Just mentioning some of the past winners Markku Alén, Jari Latvala and Marcus Grönholm. In 2020 we can look forward to seeing Finnish future stars like Emil Lindholm but also superstars like Vallteri Bottas.

More awareness for Motul products in Finland

The Finnish Rally Championship 2020 consist of 6 events, three in the winter and three in the summer. First rally on the calendar is the legendary Arctic Lapland Rally in Rovaniemi 16-18th of January. The season ends 26-28th of September with Pohjanmaa SM Ralli when the champions finally will be decided.

“From Motul's side we are thrilled to become a partner to the Rally Championship of Finland. We are looking forward to open the eyes of the Finnish public to Motul as a quality supplier of automotive lubricants in Finland. However, Motul is by no means an unknown brand for the Finnish people, but today most Finnish people associate the Motul brand with the motorcycle market. Nevertheless Motul has one of Finland´s strongest product assortment of automotive lubricants, ranging from specially developed racing oils to approved motor oils for almost every passenger car driving on the Finnish roads. Motul and the Finnish Rally Championship share a passion for motorsports and to challenging ourselves as well as others. We hope the innovative spirit of Motul will catch on us, too, and at the same time we are sure to be able to offer Motul the best testing ground in Finland within automotive sports", says Kai Tarkiainen, FRC Promotor from AKK Sports Ltd.
