A new sponsor for Lion Truck Racing in 2016

Gazpromneft Lubricants joins Lion Truck Racing for the 2016 European Truck Championship, via its subsidiary G-Energy.

For this new season, the Team's new trucks have been completely updated to the new FIA standards and technically redesigned in our workshops in Toulouse by our team under the responsibility of our manufacturer engineer Pascal CALAS. The first tests that were carried out on the Nogaro circuit last week allowed us to achieve promising performances on the Paul Armagnac circuit !

G-Energy and Gazpromneft have joined Meritor, BFT Location, Nexus Truck, RAS Interim and all Lion Truck Racing partners for the 2016 season with the common goal of winning new victories.

The passion for competition has therefore brought the French team and the Russian tanker closer together. G-Energy was the first brand to offer a range of 100% synthetic lubricants specially designed for competition vehicles. All oils are manufactured in the Gazpromneft lubricants plant and approved by all major manufacturers (MB, VW, BMW, Renault, GM, etc.)

Rendez-vous in a week in Austria on the Red Bull Ring for the first race of the European Championship and at Le Castellet during the Pentecost Weekend for the first race of the French Championship.
