Bibendum Challenge/Formulec EF01
The Bibendum challenge took place this year in Berlin
at the former Tempelhof airport. Organised by Miche-
lin, this event grouped all the new technologies in the
car sphere and more specically those devoted to
new propulsion energies.
Supported technically by Motul, the EF01, which is
the rst 100% electrically-propelled single-seater, un-
veiled its performances to the visitors to the show
during several test sessions. On a 700-metre-long
narrow and winding track, the EF01 was driven by
Alexandre Prmat, the French driver who will also
wear Motuls colours at the forthcoming 24 Hours of
Le Mans (Team Oreca Matmut LMP2).
Present alongside prestigious brands like Citron,
Peugeot, Venturi and Porsche, the EF01, the worlds
fastest electric single-seater, really distinguished
itself by its performances that genuinely promote
clean energies.
The next ofcial runs by the EF01 are expected to
take place in mid-June at the 24 Hours of Le Mans
(as part of the Le Mans vers le futur operation during
which cars of the future will perform parade laps) and
then in mid-July around the Kremlin at a road-show
that was ofcialised in the presence of Formulec
a few days ago in Moscow.
The EF01 steals the show!

Standings
It was already the fth round of the World Superbike
Championship last weekend on the fast Miller Motors-
ports Park track (Salt Lake City, USA).
After the ne podium at Monza three weeks ago,
Michel Fabrizio, the Italian rider of team Suzuki Als-
tare, for which Motul is a technical partner, was really
motivated to conrm his improved performances on
the GSX-T 1000 which he is getting to know better
and better.
The special climate of this valley in the heart of the Utah
mountains unfortunately dampened his enthusiasm.
With a qualifying day in the rain, Michel, who had very
little experience on his bike in these conditions, didnt
do better than fourth row of the grid.
The Italian rider was forced to launch a really strong
attack on each of his races on a dry track, which
brought emotions galore once more!
During race 1, he was violently hit by Ruben Xaus on
the 3rd lap. Defying the pain caused by his serious
fall, Michel entered race 2... without having taken any
painkillers!
A courageous decision, but which paid off since his
erce determination allowed him to climb to 5th place
this time.

Fine 5th place for Nikolett Sznt
Hungarian Drift /Mariapocs
After her 5th place in the overall standings of the
King of Europe Championship in 2009 and the 3rd
place she secured at the end of the Gymkhana in
Germany, Nikolett Sznt is no doubt Europes most
talented drifter.
Indeed, as a contender at the second round of the
Hungarian Drift Championship held in Mriapcs (a
very popular track among drifters), on 20 and 21 May,
the young Hungarian made the very most of the 450
hp of her impressive bike a BMW Z4 tted with a
BMW M5 engine!
Despite a few mechanical problems encountered du-
ring the tests on Saturday, Nikolett managed to qua-
lify in the Top 16, then won the Top 16 battle before
bowing out following a slight mistake in her Top 8
duel. Synonymous with an honourable 5th place, this
performance should not obscure the young drifters
fair-play : not for one second did she hesitate to lend
her car keys to Lakatos Zoli Laky (the rider who had
just beaten her) after the latter suffered a broken
engine a few minutes before the nal!

After the opening round in Saint Petersburg in March
(cf. MSN No.16), the second stage of the Stunt Battle
Russia, for which Motul is the ofcial partner, took pla-
ce at the beginning of May at Rostov-on-Don, a Rus-
sian town located a few kilometres from the Ukrainian
border.
Among the best Russian and East European riders
present, it was Yuri Verhovnikov (the latter clinched 3rd
place in the rst round) who won this second stage.
He did an incredible 35 metre long stoppie (the bike
is ridden on the front wheel) literally bowling over the
contenders and spectators alike!

French Offroad Endurance Championship
China Touring Car Championship/Zhuhai
Both Motul clients, Jean Franois Branger and Alain
Thibault participated at the beginning of May in the
6 Hours of Santerre, an event counting towards the
French Offroad Endurance Championship.
At the wheel of their all-new 4-wheel drive BMC pro-
totype tted with a 2-litre Honda engine and a six
speed sequential gearbox, both managed to over-
come a transponder problem and a faulty windscreen
wiper that refused to work (how useful it would have
been with kilos of mud splattering the windscreen!)
and nally moved up from 16th place to 2nd place
(taking the win in their category) following the six hour
race. The other good piece of news of the weekend
is Alain Thibault higher position now in the overall
standings: after taking part in only two rounds, he
now leads the overall standings by 11 points over hisclosest contender.
The second round of the China Touring
Car Championship (CTCC) was held
on 28 and 29 may at the international
Zhuhai track.
Competing in the 1600cc class, teams
Beijing Hyundai & Haima Family did Mo-
tul proud in the best of ways by securing
all three steps of the podium following a
superb race that was nally won master-
fully by Sun Zheng (team Haima Family).
The latter won just ahead of Liu Yang
and Cui Yue of team Beijing Hyundai.
Impressive maidenperformance by Team BTP
First three placeswon by Motul!
