ExxonMobil Joins Honda Performance Development to Support Acura's Inaugural Run in the American Le Mans Series



    Expanding the broad presence its flagship Mobil 1 synthetic engine
    oil has in high-performance motorsports, ExxonMobil today announced a
    global technical cooperative agreement with Honda Performance
    Development (HPD), a subsidiary of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., and
    the Honda technical operations center, for the development and design
    of Acura's high-performance racing engines.

    As part of the agreement, ExxonMobil's signature Mobil 1 synthetic
    engine oil will be used in all three Acura LMP2 race car engines for
    the 2007 and 2008 seasons of the American Le Mans Series. ExxonMobil
    also provides technical support for the team, which made its American
    Le Mans Series debut on March 17, 2007, at the 55th Mobil 1 Twelve
    Hours of Sebring race in Central Florida.

    "As the world's leading synthetic motor oil, Mobil 1 technology
    has long been recognized within the racing community for its ability
    to deliver exceptional performance and long-lasting protection for
    engines that operate under the most demanding of conditions," said
    Nancy Carlson, strategic global alliances manager, ExxonMobil
    Lubricants & Specialties. "We look forward to working side by side
    with the Acura and HPD team members and helping them drive to the
    Winner's Circle with a successful debut in the ultra-competitive
    American Le Mans Series."

    "In returning Acura to international sports car racing, we could
    not think of a better way to help achieve our goal of winning than by
    joining with ExxonMobil and having Mobil 1 by our side," said Robert
    Clarke, president, Honda Performance Development. "As we celebrate the
    20th anniversary of Acura with our entry of three factory supported
    teams into the American Le Mans Series, we anticipate that our
    experience in advanced engine design, and the technical expertise and
    motorsports experience of Mobil 1 will help create an exciting season
    for the fans, our sponsors and our teams."

    As part of the agreement, ExxonMobil will participate in various
    marketing, advertising and promotional activities with Acura, HPD and
    the Acura LMP2 race cars. In addition to the team's debut at the 55th
    Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, the Acura LMP2 teams will compete in
    the remaining 11 races during the 2007 American Le Mans Series season,
    as well as the 2008 season.

    In August of 2006, ExxonMobil and Honda Motor Co., Ltd., announced
    that Mobil 1 was selected as the factory and service fill motor oil
    for the newly launched 2007 Acura RDX Luxury SUV. Mobil 1 was chosen
    for its ability to meet the unique lubrication demands of the
    first-ever Acura turbocharged and intercooled engine.
