Today, ExxonMobil and Porsche proudly announced that as part of
their long term motorsport contract extension, ExxonMobil will become
the Title Sponsor of the Porsche Supercup, which will now be known as
the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. The sponsorship demonstrates
ExxonMobil's ongoing commitment to motorsports.
As the "Official Cooperation Partner of Porsche," the Mobil 1
title sponsorship of the Porsche Supercup was the obvious next step in
progressing its relationship with Porsche. With 10 years of close
commercial and technical global collaboration, their mutual engagement
in motorsport also focuses on translating new technologies developed
on the race track, into solutions for the road.
That's one reason why Porsche motorsports use Mobil 1 lubricants.
It's also why Mobil 1 is the exclusive factory fill, and recommended
service fill, for all off-track Porsche engines. As ExxonMobil's
flagship motor oil, Mobil 1 is the performance lubricant of choice for
Porsche cars, offering durability, optimum engine efficiency,
anti-wear protection and quality. And the same commitment to research
and advanced technology that goes into Mobil 1 is shared by Porsche.
ExxonMobil and Porsche engineers work together to ensure maximum
engine performance and reliability. With cutting edge precision
engineering, ExxonMobil is working to develop next generation
formulations to further Porsche's success in motorsport, and off the
track.
"It makes perfect sense to have Mobil 1 as the title sponsor of
the Porsche Supercup," says Hartmut Kristen, Porsche Motorsport
Director. "The collaboration in research and development, combined
with Porsche and Mobil 1 technology, unites two of the world's
strongest brands with one single philosophy: maximum performance for
the ultimate driving experience. Our partnership has developed engines
to power some of the most technically advanced performance cars on
race tracks, and on roads, around the world today."
In addition to the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, ExxonMobil is the
main sponsor for Porsche Carrera Cups worldwide. For more than a
decade, ExxonMobil and Porsche have had the occasion to celebrate many
motorsport victories together, including the endurance races in Le
Mans, Daytona, Sebring, and Spa. While the car for each race may vary,
one thing remains the same - they all use Mobil 1 technology.
"We are pleased to continue our relationship with a premium
branded automaker like Porsche, a company with which we share a lot in
common, said Iain Stanley, ExxonMobil Global Motorsports Manager.
"From our business values, to our global reach, commitment to quality
and technology, and focus on motorsports. And now as the lead sponsor
for one of Porsche's greatest motorsport events, it is no doubt a
win-win situation for both. We're certainly looking forward to
continued mutual success into the future."
