In its endeavour to take Indian motorsports to the next level, ExxonMobil Lubricants Pvt Ltd, a wholly-owned affiliate of ExxonMobil Corporation, has reaffirmed its partnership with Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL) across all three of the latter’s 2017 adventure motorsports events – Desert Storm, Dakshin Dare and Raid de Himalaya.
Speaking on the partnership, Deepankar Banerjee, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ExxonMobil’s lubricants business in India, said, “Mobil’s name is synonymous with commitment to performance and leadership in technology. It is this legacy as a product technology leader that enables us to work side-by-side with leading OEMs around the world. Partnering with Maruti Suzuki Motorsport – four years in a row now – has been an affirmation of this shared commitment to excellence. Extending this relationship for another season, has been a natural choice for both.”
Kicking off the season is the 15th edition of Maruti Suzuki Desert Storm which flagged off from Delhi on January 29, 2017 and wraps up today, February 4, 2017 – in the sandy expanse of Jodhpur in Rajasthan. Mobil is the official lubricant partner for the rally.
Desert Storm is amongst the toughest, yet most popular rallies in the country given the heady mix of adrenaline-surging driving conditions and spectacular terrain that the drive affords. The vast salt tracks, sand traps and dunes of Hanumangarh, Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Jodhpur present a gruelling set of conditions that test the endurance of both man and machine. With Mobil engine oil under the hood, Desert Storm drivers can rely on the world’s leading synthetic engine oil to deliver exceptional engine performance and protection – even under these extreme conditions.
This is also why automotive technicians, race car drivers, team owners and the world’s leading automotive manufacturers can all testify to the advanced technology delivered by Mobil lubricants. Says Mr Banerjee, “Mobil has partnered leading automakers and award-winning race teams across the world – motorsports excites us as much as any enthusiast.”
Keeping a car maintained means protecting its engine with a quality motor oil that prevents engine wear and breakdown, giving longer engine life and peace of mind.
Suitable for all types of vehicles, Mobil 1 synthetic oil is uniquely designed to help provide durability, optimum engine efficiency, anti-wear protection and quality, outstanding levels of performance; whether you’re on the highway or in bumper to bumper traffic. Even during extended oil change intervals, Mobil 1 keep engines running like new by helping them combat sludge and deposit build-up, reduce wear and control oil breakdown.
When braving the desert, rally cars have to face the natural elements, heat and dust. This is when the car needs to experience unsurpassed protection of Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil. Mobil 1’s robust antioxidant system provides better resistance than conventional mineral oils and keeps the car’s engine running like new.
This is just one of many reasons why Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil serves as the lubricant of choice for many of the world’s top race teams competing in highly demanding motorsports series. The knowledge gained through these partnerships helps Mobil’s scientists and engineers push the boundaries in developing cutting-edge technologies, for all its customers.
