Motorsport is a game of margins. In Formula 1, it’s milliseconds. In endurance racing, it’s thousands of kilometers. And in both, the difference between triumph and defeat often comes down to what you can’t see — the fluids coursing through the machine.
That’s the battleground where Motul and McLaren Racing have built their alliance. For more than a decade, the two have worked side by side in GT3 competition, developing trust through hard racing and tailored technical solutions. Each lap, each season, has been a lesson in collaboration, with Motul’s expertise in bespoke lubricants matching McLaren’s relentless drive for performance.
Now, the partnership steps into its boldest chapter yet:
- Formula 1 — Since the opening round of the 2026 season, Motul has been entrusted with supplying the gearbox and differential lubricants for McLaren’s MCL40, engineered for precision at the very edge of speed.
- World Endurance Championship — From 2027, Motul will power McLaren’s Hypercar program, providing engine and transmission lubricants designed to withstand the brutal demands of 24‑hour racing.
But this story isn’t confined to Europe’s grand circuits. For Filipino riders and enthusiasts, it’s about knowing that the same Motul performance trusted by McLaren Racing is available here at home. In Luzon, Motul is proudly distributed by Infiniteserv International, ensuring that the very oil tested in the crucible of Formula 1 and endurance racing is the same oil protecting engines on EDSA, Marilaque, and on race days at Clark International Speedway.
This isn’t just about sponsorship. It’s about two engineering philosophies converging: McLaren’s pursuit of speed and Motul’s mastery of endurance. Together, they’re proving that performance isn’t only about horsepower or aerodynamics — it’s about trust, innovation, and the unseen science that keeps a car alive under pressure.
Motul x McLaren Racing: from the blink of an eye to the marathon of a day, united by a single goal — to push the limits of what’s possible, whether on the world stage or the roads of the Philippines.
