race scheduled for Valencia to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya It also was emotional for three MotoGP riders – Augusto Fernandez Takaaki Nakagami and Aleix Espargaro – who are racing for the last time in their careers With nothing to lose and a title on the line Francesco Bagnaia pushed hard and topped the last practice session With the temperature dropping precipitiously at the end of the day Championship leader Jorge Martin tried to respond when title rival Bagnaia went quickest Martin pushed the front and nearly crashed saving a front-end slide that left his feet off the pegs Staging a MotoGP event is a massive operation With only days to prepare for the race in Barcelona MotoGP employees on Friday were still cranking out the promotional and informational materials needed for the weekend Here a large-format printer in the mobile MotoGP print shop spits out a poster for one of the auctions to raise money for the Valencia flood victims MotoGP rolls a large-scale printing facility to all of its European races and flies a scaled-down version to the overseas events | Francesco Bagnaia’s best chance of keeping his title hopes alive until Sunday’s Grand Prix race meant that he needed to win Saturday’s Sprint and hope other riders finished ahead of Championship leader Jorge Martin needed to stay upright and not get involved in a battle with anyone “Everyone did what they needed to do today,” Martin said after the race Bagnaia quickly forced his way into the lead and won and Jorge Martin finished third after offering absolutely no defense against Enea Bastianini’s last-lap lunge down the inside into Turn Five Martin happily pocketed the third-place points That means that even if Bagnaia wins Sunday’s Grand Prix race Martin can finish ninth and still take the title | The 2024 MotoGP™ finale has arrived and ahead of three days of title-defining track action taking place at the Motul Solidarity Grand Prix of Barcelona the two Championship contenders – Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) and Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team) – faced the media on a Thursday for the final time this season to discuss #TheRematch decider in the sole Press Conference and I am very excited to be here battling with Pecco for another World Championship we are both able to make the difference compared to the rest It’s really good that we are Racing for Valencia I think it’s really good that in the case that we are racing and I’m looking forward to riding because this week but the important thing is that tomorrow we are finally on track and I can enjoy the weekend and try to be competitive.” How do you see your chances of retaining the #1 plate after Sunday I want to say that I’m happy to be racing here I think it is a great mission for us to help Valencia and for what happened in Valencia we know that gaining 24 points across a single race weekend is quite difficult and my mission will be to win both races and what will happen will happen on Sunday so we have to take it as an advantage and try to be perfect and third place finished 11 seconds behind us so I think we showed again that we were on another level I really hope that someone else will be in the mix I know that Jorge can be smoother and wait a bit longer I think he can finish in seventh in both races and still win the title and we will have to wait until Sunday.” | Vance & Hines Motorsports has

to just 10 points as Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac Racing) was forced to follow him home and focus on limiting the damage Bagnaia is the first rider to win three successive MotoGP™️ Grand Prix races in a single season since he did it in 2022 with four in a row from Assen to Misano it’s his third win in a row at the TT Circuit Assen and he equals Casey Stoner’s 23 wins with Ducati to tie the MotoGP™ Legend as the two most successful riders with the Borgo Panigale factory Martin will now look to use his right of reply in Germany Meanwhile, Enea Bastianini (Ducati Lenovo Team) charged up from a tougher qualifying to complete the podium denying Fabio Di Giannantonio (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and Maverick Viñales (Aprilia Racing). Marc Marquez (Gresini Racing MotoGP™) was also denied after crossing the line in fourth with a tyre pressure penalty dropping him to P10 Bagnaia nailed the start to take the holeshot with Viñales just holding onto second to deny Martin the #89 launched it to near perfection from his P5 after that three-place penalty and soon enough he did get it done to take over in second was on the march and soon put his own moves on Viñales to slot into third

copy on Marquez to take over in fourth with a bit of a closer racing kiss for the #93 who headed wide but recovered it in time to keep Di Giannantonio at bay and it looked like Viñales and Bastianini had disappeared up the road the ‘Beast’ struck for the podium and got past Viñales with four full laps remaining and from there the group couldn’t quite stay with him By the penultimate lap it then looked like a Viñales-Marquez duel for the podium and then Viñales headed just wide enough to allow Marquez through leaving it an Aprilia-VR46 drag to the line for fifth instead Viñales was forced to drop one position due to exceeding track limits at the chicane and then the tyre pressure penalty for Marquez saw the #93 drop to P10 Bagnaia’s masterclass puts the cherry on top of a weekend that saw him top every session bar Warm Up Bastianini takes back-to-back podiums to recover from a P10 qualifying and it’s Diggia classified fourth ahead of Viñales with Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory

continue as the official lubricant of the 24 Hours of Le Mans its motorcycle companion the 24H Motos (also organized by the ACO) and of the WEC (of which the 24 Hours of Le Mans is part) in advance of

with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network Historic racing cars are temperamental things They require an awful lot of care and attention to keep them in perfect running order and during the Goodwood Revival Motul has been busy helping teams to monitor their car’s health The Motul Racing Lab in the Revival paddocks is a hub that teams can make use of throughout the weekend to monitor the quality of their oil and by extension Motul technicians have been busy taking oil samples and testing them with cutting edge technology to provide feedback on engine health and advising if any issues arise The test involves burning the oil in something called an optical emission spectrum which can see tiny particles of contamination through specific wavelengths of light Things they’ll be looking out for include traces of metal that have worn from the engine itself oil dilution from things like fuel or coolant and even checking the chemistry of the oil itself to ensure it is still performing as it should be the lab can report back to the teams if there are any doubts or issues with their engine prior to racing at the Revival We spoke to a technician at the lab who reported that Lotus Classic had once been notified of suspected wear to a bottom-end bearing prior to racing and took the decision to fix the engine which could have suffered a catastrophic failure A further test after the work was complete indicated the rebuild was indeed necessary The cars at the 2024 Goodwood Revival have been faced with a new variable in the form of sustainable fuel Every single competitor was mandated to run these new fuels but Motul has reported that they have made no difference to the health and running of these engines Our technician said: “We've done a lot of samples where these classic cars are running these sustainable fuels and we don't see any major differences from using generic pump fuel It’s not necessarily affecting the oil’s health we don’t see a massive jump in fuel dilution and in terms of wear metal content everything seems fine from our end.” Motul’s doing good work here at the Revival another small cog in the great

pretty miffed to be missing out on the Acura NSX Type S here in the UK and French lubricant company Motul has just made this even worse with the press release it just popped in our inbox With tweaked styling including a new front end with bigger, angrier intakes, the hottest version yet of the second-generation Honda NSX doesn’t need much help in the looks department Intended to mark the 50th anniversary of the ‘300V’ race oil the red and white NSX takes inspiration from Motul-sponsored racing cars of the past Complementing this nicely is a set of FMR 527M two-piece wheels finished in brushed gold Unlike the NSX Super GT car Motul sponsors Motul is calling this collaboration with Acura a ‘digital livery’ Once there are a few more Type S NSXs kicking around perhaps Acura can spare one for wrapping purposes - after all and this seems the ideal piece of stand candy for either brand be some IRL 300V celebrations at the 2021 Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach IndyCar round this weekend the Type S features a 3.5-litre V6 with turbochargers intercoolers and fuel injectors pinched from the NSX GT3 car increasing the 573bhp output of the standard car to 592 That tweaked body features a carbon fibre roof and a restyled rear end the Type S has been given tweaked suspension which offers better “emotional connection,” whatever that means Although the NSX hasn’t exactly been a runaway
