Shell celebrates success with Ducati

To help this ongoing development, in 2008 Shell technicians introduced a
mobile facility called the “Shell Track Lab” to the MotoGP paddock. As a
genuine technical partner, Shell works literally next door to Ducati’s garage,
underlining the strategic relationship in which both parties embrace
engineering development to ensure that the fuels and lubricants are optimised
for the benefits of all bikers. Back at their base in Hamburg, these same
technicians are responsible for the development of fuels and lubricant to match
not only the sporting regulations, but the discerning requirements of the Ducati
team itself – now one of Shell’s most insightful and demanding customers.
.
Today, Shell’s technical partnership with Ducati has become one of the most
successful in the world of motorsport, with nine World titles and over 150
wins achieved during these first ten years. At the core of this relationship
lies a common passion for technology: Ducati develops its legendary race
and road bikes, while Shell works to design high-performing fuel and lubricants
for the benefit of riders worldwide.
