Fuel the Future of Riding: Motul Expands GP Series with Launch of GP Next 4T

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 23 October 2025 - Motul, a global leader in high-performance lubricants and a longstanding partner of MotoGP™, proudly announces the launch of the GP Next 4T, the newest addition to its acclaimed Motul GP Series.

Officially unveiled at the 2025 Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia, the GP Next 4T represents the next evolution of Motul's championship-proven technology, merging race-inspired engineering with everyday practicality and sustainability.

MotoGP™, the world's most exciting sport, continues to inspire millions with its speed, adrenaline, and relentless pursuit of excellence. In recent years, it has also embarked on a transformative journey toward greater sustainability, proving that high performance and environmental responsibility can share the same track. As the official lubricant partner of MotoGP™, Motul has tested its formulations in the toughest racing environments, from blistering straights to unforgiving corners. This relentless testing ground allows Motul to push boundaries and translate race-proven technology into everyday solutions. As MotoGP™ embraces ever-expanding sustainability practices, including 40% non-fossil fuels from last season increasing to 100% non-fossil from 2027, GP Next 4T stands as a natural extension of that shared vision.

Commenting on the official launch, Keith Schulzquote, Chief Sustainability Officer of Motul Asia Pacific said, "The launch of GP Next 4T reflects Motul's continuous commitment to performance and responsibility. Earlier this year, we introduced the NGEN range to lead the charge in sustainable engine oil. With GP Next 4T, we are reinforcing those same values within our MotoGP™-inspired GP Series, ensuring that all riders can experience championship-grade performance while contributing to a more sustainable future."

Carlo Savoca, Chief Marketing Officer, Motul Asia Pacific said, "More than just an engine oil, the new GP Next 4T is a statement of Motul's commitment to innovation at the highest level of motorsport. MotoGP™ has always set the benchmark for passion and performance, and with this launch we are redefining how riders connect with that spirit. The GP Series continues to evolve, and GP Next 4T reflects our ambition to lead with products that protect, perform, and inspire."

Marc Saurina, Head of Global Commercial Partnerships at MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports said, "Motul has been a committed part of our ecosystem for a long time and is very active in the sport, from title sponsoring multiple Grands Prix each season to taking inspiration from MotoGP to continue innovating in their product lines. MotoGP pushes the boundaries of possibility and as official lubricant supplier, Motul uses our testing ground to create even better performing and more sustainable products like the GP Next 4T. We're proud to work together."
