Supersonic speed, impressive agility, and a high-performance engine are synonymous with racing vehicles. Unsurprisingly, such automotive beasts are powered by super-strong engines that are unlike their passenger car counterparts. Racing car motors produce extreme heat and pressure, as well as use more fuel due to the differences in power. Given that, it is not surprising that typical passenger car engine oils do not work for them.
The worst thing that can happen to a race car driver is to experience vehicle failure or malfunction. Such a predicament can end up affecting the seat time and leaving the driver weeks behind. And we can all agree that nobody likes to lose, especially if racing for profits. So, let’s see how you can ensure that your racecar stays in top-notch condition throughout the season.
If you know the first thing about motorsport, you know one thing (and you might have seen or experienced it first-hand): the difference between victory and disaster can take a fraction of a second. That is why racing cars need to be in perfect condition, with each part working with 100% efficiency. And keeping all these parts lubricated is not a joke. We at Valvoline used our 150 years in the automotive lubrication and performance industry to completely understand the critical role lubricants play in not just sustaining, but enhancing the power and endurance of racing engines. And finally, we think we have the winning formula.
Vehicles that are loaded with horsepower and torque are no ordinary vehicles. And for that, they deserve and demand better treatment by the people who maintain them. In this field, lubrication is exceptionally important, since high-performance vehicles need high-performance oils to keep all running smoothly. When a supercar or Formula 1 car is going over 300 kilometres per hour, even the slightest friction can cause a huge problem that needs tens of thousands of euros to fix. So, smart fleet maintenance masters and mechanics choose nothing but the best for their vehicles, and the best means synthetic lubricants. Let us go over why these high-tech oils are a perfect fit for high-performance vehicles like racing cars, racing motorcycles and other motorsport vehicles.
