After an already busy summer, global lubricant supplier, Motul, has signed a major multi-year partnership with Goodwood Motor Circuit in Southern England for sponsorship of its renowned Revival meeting.
Over the course of more than thirty years, the Goodwood Revival has established itself as one of the most authentic and prestigious “retro” motoring events in the world, with visitors attending the event dressed in period clothing to create a unique atmosphere. Motul, whose own history is more than a century and a half long has already featured as the Lubricant Partner of the Revival. This year, however, the company has committed to a deeper longer-term relationship with the Goodwood Estate for the Revival, which kicks off this coming weekend.
Once again, Motul’s commercial activity at the Revival will centre around the Motul “Garage” on the Goodwood Revival “High Street”. Here, not only will Motul technical staff be on hand to assist the public on lubricant technical matters, but visitors will also be able to purchase Motul product - including the latest of the specially commissioned limited-run Goodwood Motul Classic lubricant tins. Also on display at the Motul Garage, will be historic cars from Motul’s OE Partners RUF and a Triton custom motorbike. Motul will also have a selection of classic clothing, and Motul period cloth patches which have proved so popular in previous years, that this year Motul is providing a seamstress on site, who can professionally attach them to visitors’ clothing, while they wait.
The Circuit’s Infield will also feature a special “Motul corner”, where visitors can check out Motul’s much-loved Vagabond historic truck, while the nearby competitors assembly area will be Motul branded.
Motul’s mobile racing laboratory, housed inside a classic bus, will be at the Revival throughout, offering free oil sample analysis to all competitors, in order to help them diagnose any problems or potential issues with their engines. Nearby will be a Motul open-air lounge area where competitors and team managers can relax undisturbed, in the lea of the Motul Coffee Stop.
Motul is also the presenting partner of one the Revival weekend’s feature races, the St Mary’s Trophy for classic saloon cars mainly from the 50s, with everything from Austin A40s to Mk1 Jaguars and even a Ford Thunderbird - driven by some of the world’s top historic racers, who are teamed up with professionals ranging from touring car legends, to Le Mans winners and F1 stars.
