December 07,2023,Adelaide –Todd Hazelwood, Motul-supported race driver celebrated his 2023 Repco Supercars championship season by securing a successful points haul at the 2023 season finale, VAILO Adelaide 500.
Motul began their strong partnership with Hazelwood during the 2022 season, where Motul supported the then 27-year-old’s racing pursuits with top-of-the-line products, their flagship 300V lubricant. Motul and Hazelwood have enjoyed a successful partnership, with their products proving to play a crucial role in the success of the #3 Blanchard Racing Team Ford Mustang GT S650.
The Australian race car driver began his motorsport career at Adelaide Dirt Kart Club where he started karting at 7 years old. He continued to perform at a high level before making the switch to V8 Supercars in 2013 where he partook in the Dunlop V8 Supercars series (now known as the Super2 Series).
After being crowned champion in 2017, Hazelwood made the step up to the main V8 Supercars series, where he became a mainstay in the V8 Supercars paddock.
Now in his sixth year at the pinnacle of Australian motorsport, the 28-year-old continues to perform at a high level as he starts off his 2023 Supercars campaign by achieving P4 in the seventh round at the Perth Supersprint, along with multiple top-ten finishes.
Motul has proven to be a vital part of Hazelwood’s season, providing the Australian driver and his team with the best lubricants available for maximum reliability and performance. Blanchard Racing Team used the Gear 300 75-W90 for the transaxle transmission, the RBF700 brake fluid, as well as the 300V engine oil for smooth engine performance.
Hazelwood a key ambassador of Motul, exclaims, “My partnership with Motul is super powerful for our Supercars program. Ensuring we have the absolute best oils and lubricants available at any request with world-class resources guarantees we can prepare for any event knowing we have the best of the best inside our race car, providing an advantage. In an industry where the smallest gains prove so powerful, Motul certainly gives us a performance advantage.”
Hazelwood is also impressed by Motul’s wide range of product offerings. Additionally, to equipping the best lubricants on the track, his collaboration with Motul goes beyond the circuit as he utilizes a range of products in his daily life.
Motul also provides the Australian with a variety of products that allow him to get the best out of his passion to restore cars and other vehicles. Motul 2T Kart oil ensures his karts run smoothly, while Motul’s Valve Expert lubricant provides an extra layer of protection for his 1970s Ford Falcon.
Hazelwood exclaimed, “The cool part about being aligned with Motul is that they literally have a product for every passion and piece of equipment I use! Whether that’s my project cars, go-kart or even my pushbike, there is a Motul product available! The product that gets a big workout between racing commitments is the Motul 2T Kart oil for my 125cc Rotax on my CRG chassis. My partner Alice and I are always at the kart track, racing together and using plenty of Motul products as well. One product that also comes in handy is both the Motul helmet exterior and interior cleaner,” says Hazelwood.
Motul would like to congratulate Todd Hazelwood and Blanchard Racing Team on a challenging but well-fought season at the Repco Supercars Championship.
