Our partnerships with BWT Alpine F1® Team and M-Sport Ford World Rally Team provide the perfect platform to test, learn and develop solutions for road-going hybrid vehicles.

HYSPEC – Endorsed in Motorsport

BWT Alpine F1® Team

The current F1® hybrid power unit is the most efficient in the world. It uses energy recovery systems to increase power output and increase efficiency. Delivering and maintaining oil performance is critical race after race and our partnership with BWT Alpine F1® Team allows us to test our oils in one of the most demanding forms of motorsport.

M-Sport Ford World Rally Team

World Rally Championship cars include a plug-in hybrid unit and a 1.6 turbocharged engine. Rallying tests engine lubricants to the extreme on a variety of surfaces, with stage speeds on ice reaching up to 145 kph. Our partnership with M-Sport Ford World Rally Team provides the perfect platform to test our oils in one of the most punishing forms of motorsport.

Endorsed by motorsport partners

Our lubricants are an integral component, crucial to delivering success. Both our motorsport partners, BWT Alpine F1® Team and M-Sport Ford World Rally Team endorse HYSPEC, our new hybrid performance standard. They consider the three factors identified in HYPSEC critical in hybrid motorsport performance.
