  • Media Fact Sheet Shell Helix Ultra in Motorsport
    MEDIA FACT SHEET SHELL HELIX ULTRA IN MOTORSPORT In the fast-paced, high pressure world of motorsport, demands on the engine are vastly different from your everyday road drive. Across all motorsport series, engineers are being challenged to make sure that race engines are able to deliver maximum performance over longer distances and with greater efficiency. In these circumstances, engine oil plays a crucial role in ensuring that race engines last by helping reducing friction, protecting engine parts from wear and displacing large amounts of heat generated within the power unit. This is why Shell’s partners in the world of motorsport from rallying, to single-seater racing, to touring car racing choose Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology to protect their high-performance race engines. Shell PurePlus Technology is a revolutionary gas-to-liquid process that converts natural gas into a crystal- clear base oil with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil. Base oil is one of the main building blocks of the low viscosity engine oils required by today’s most advanced engines, helping them to deliver long-lasting performance under extreme temperatures and pressures. PROTECTING THE SCUDERIA FERRARI ENGINES IN A NEW AGE OF FORMULA 1 As Formula 1 continues to move in the direction of greater efficiency, changing engine regulations have forced teams to find yet more creative ways to extract every last bit of performance possible from the machinery. Introduced in 2014, F1’s down-sized V6 turbocharged power units have to work much harder than their predecessors, and reflect a universal trend across the world of motoring and motorsport alike.

    Auto racing 1 Auto racing Auto racing Sebastian Vettel overtaking Mark Webber during the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix Highest governing body FIA First contested April 28, 1887 Characteristics Mixed gender Yes Categorization Outdoor Auto racing (also known as automobile racing, car racing or motorcar racing) is a motorsport involving the racing of automobiles for competition. History The beginning of competition Motoring events began soon after the construction of the first successful gasoline-fueled automobiles. The first organized contest was on April 28, 1887, by the chief editor of Paris publication Le Vélocipède, Monsieur Fossier. It ran 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Neuilly Bridge to the Bois de Boulogne. It was won by Georges Bouton of the De Dion-Bouton Company, in a car he had constructed with Albert, the Comte de Dion, but as he was the only competitor to show up it is rather difficult to call it a race. Another solo event occurred in 1891 when Auguste Doriot and Louis Rigoulot of Peugeot drove their gasoline-fueled Type 3 Quadricycle in the bicycle race from Paris–Brest–Paris. By the time they reached Brest, the winning cyclist Charles Terront was already back in Paris. In order to publicly prove the reliability and performance of the 'Quadricycle' Armand Peugeot had persuaded the organiser, Pierre Giffard of Le Petit Journal, to use his network of monitors and marshalls to vouchsafe and report the vehicle's performance. The intended distance of 1200 km had never been achieved by a motorised vehicle, it being about three times further than the record set by Leon Serpollet from Paris to Lyon.[1][2] Auto racing 2 Paris–Rouen: the world's first motoring contest On July 23, 1894, the Parisian magazine Le Petit Journal organized what is considered to be the world's first motoring competition from Paris to Rouen.
