Motul acquires equity stake in EMP
Motul has announced the acquisition of a 10 per centstake in EMP, the organiser and promoter of the FIM EWC World Endurance Championship.
This decision marks a major turning point for motorcycle endurance racing, now structured as a championship, and supports EMP’s growth ambitions. Motul and EMP say they are joining forces to enhance the championship’s visibility and appeal.
Motul has now created the Challenge Motul, which will be implemented starting with the Spa Motos 8 Hours race. Through this Challenge, Motul aims to support teams in the Superstock and Production categories by offering them product allocations, as well as financial rewards for the team leading the Challenge standings at each event.
It offers one way to make competing in motorcycle endurance racing more accessible, which requires a considerable investment in equipment.
To make this event even more accessible, Motul is strengthening its program for welcoming young apprentices from Garages Écoles. Launched through the Motul Corazon Foundation – which helps the integration of disadvantaged young people into the working world – this initiative offers students from garage schools a unique experience within the FIM EWC Championship, creating a tangible link between learning and professional opportunities.
The program includes unique experiences, such as immersion in a garage within a team, allowing students to personally experience the intensity of the race: being very close to the drivers and mechanics, enjoying privileged exchanges with championship organisers, and experiencing prize presentations on the podium.
