Motul has completed a 10 per cent acquisition of EMP (Endurance Moto Promoter), which is the organiser and promoter of the FIM EWC Endurance World Championship.

Through the new partnership, Motul has created the Challenge Motul, which will debut at the Spa Motos 8 Hours race on 6 June.

As part of this new agreement, Motul is aiming to support teams in both the Superstock and Production categories by offering product allocations, as well as financial rewards for the team leading the Challenge standings at each event.

Motul says it is “a way to make the practice of motorcycle endurance racing more accessible, which requires, beyond passion and hard work, considerable investment in equipment.”

Motul is also strengthening its programme for welcoming young apprentices from the automotive school, ‘Garages Ecoles’, which is based near Le Mans, France. It offers career guidance to teenagers, aged 15 to 18, and was launched through the Motul Corazon Foundation.

The initiative also offers students from garage schools a unique experience within the FIM EWC Championship, as it creates a link between learning and professional opportunities.

The programme includes various opportunities, including the chance to work in a garage within a team.

Andreea Culcea, Brand & Communications Officer at Motul, said this about oil lubricant company’s investment into the FIM EWC World Endurance Championship:

“This equity investment represents the natural next step in our long-standing commitment to endurance racing. It reflects our determination to provide sustained support to the discipline, while leveraging technological innovation to enhance performance and reliability. Our objective is twofold: to make races more accessible to a broader audience and to strengthen our connection with the many fans of this discipline.”
