After a successful debut season of the FRD LMP3 Series across China, the series has been rebranded as China Endurance Series to gear up for 2018! Featuring some of the most exciting 4-wheel categories, namely LMP3 (Le Mans Prototype cars powered by Nissan engines), Renault Clio Cup Asia Series, and Asian Formula Renault, the series has gathered a strong following on social media and participation from race teams!
Organised by Zhuhai Formula Racing Development (FRD) and certified by the Federation of Automobile and Motorcycle Sports of People’s Republic of China (CAMF), the excitement is expected to grow even further as the China Endurance Series extends to the newly-built Ningbo International Speedway and Zhengzhou International Circuit.
With Motul’s 300V Power 5W40 being the recommended lubricant for the Nissan LMP3 420 bhp naturally-aspirated engine, it is an instinctive decision for Motul to become China Endurance Series’ Official Lubricant Partner.
A NATURAL ASSOCIATION IN ENDURANCE RACING
Motul’s long-standing involvement in endurance racing, as well as its existing Official Lubricant Partner status at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, have well established its lubricants to be the reference on the racetracks. This invaluable knowledge had since been translated to an accessible range of automotive products for the everyday commuter.
The association with China Endurance Series reinforces Motul’s passion to extend its authority among automotive lubricants in China!
