Motul and FHO Racing unite to take on the BSB and road racing
The newly-formed FHO Racing team have joined forces with Motul to take on the roads and TT and the short circuits of BSB for 2021
MOTUL has announced it is to team up with the newly-formed FHO Racing, to take on the BSB and international road races in 2021.
While the name may be all-new, the FHO Racing team is created upon foundations of success, being built up from the now defuncted Smiths Racing squad. The three-rider outfit is an officially BMW-backed entry and will be fielding Xavier Fores in BSB, Alex Olsen in National Superstock 1000, and Peter Hickman on the roads and TT.
The team has been created by Macau-based entrepreneur Faye Ho and will be fielding 2021 BMW M 1000 RR machines. Providing the riders with bikes that can withstand the rigours of the world’s most high-stress racing series is key, and for that part, FHO Racing is relying on Motul 300V engine oil that is specifically developed for use in high-performance racing engines.
Richard Barrett, MOTUL UK Senior Brand Manager said:
“What better way to celebrate 50 years of 300V. Everyone at MOTUL are really excited to be working with FHO Racing. With Peter, Xavi and Alex, the team have a fantastic rider line-up to take on the roads and short circuits of the BSB. 2021 is a landmark year for MOTUL as we celebrate 50 years of 300V. Like our racing partners we strive to improve every year and I can’t wait to see FHO racing testing our market leading lubricants next year and beyond.”
FHO Racing BMW Team Manager Darren Jones:
“We’re proud to have such an iconic brand as MOTUL on board for 2021 supporting us for BSB and all the International roads events. We need products which gives us performance, reliability and longevity and MOTUL do just that. They are a major player at the highest levels of Motorsport, so I’m confident that we will have some great success together.”
Peter Hickman:
“I’m really excited to be involved with such an iconic brand as MOTUL both as a partner for the team and as an ambassador for them myself. They are the benchmark in their field around the globe in so many motorsports. I’m looking forward to working closely with the UK and French side of the business and getting going in testing.”
