ENI has been an active and global player in the world of racing. They have been at the forefront of many racing events, ranging from MotoGP to Superbike world championships. ENI also collaborated with the famous Monza circuit. Let's get a good look at Eni's involvement with these racing events and companies.

Companies must maintain certain standards to form partnerships in racing events. During racing, the engine has to operate at around 15000 rpm and 300°C. That is why the engine oil must have the capability to function in these hard conditions. Due to ENI’s quality and technical expertise, they can create “molecular level” customized high-performing oil. And this is why they are way ahead of various domestic, Japanese, Chinese, and other companies.


Partnership with Aprilia Racing, MotoGP, and SBK:
Many racing teams choose ENI because of their dedication to developing cutting-edge products, as demonstrated by Eni's solid technology partnership with Aprilia Racing. They have a long and successful collaboration in Superbike and MotoGP. Eni's active presence in the racing world continues as they are the Exclusive Fuel Supplier of the Moto2TM and Moto3TM classes in the MotoGPTM Championship. This is an ideal partnership for developing and testing their fuel Eni Blu super+ on the world's race tracks under the harshest conditions in a demanding and highly technological context.


The Monza Eni circuit:
The Monza circuit, which dates back to 1922, is one of the world's oldest circuits. It's nicknamed "Temple of Speed" for its distinct layout of fast bends and long straights. Since 2017, Eni has served as the circuit's cultural guardian, and the circuit is now known as the Monza Eni Circuit. The circuit north of Milan is extremely popular among racers.

Even Max Verstappen finds the Monza Eni Circuit difficult. "Monza is an extremely fast track. My favorite parts are the fast ones. It's not easy to get the last corner right, but once you do, it feels pretty good." The distinct personality of the Monza Eni Circuit makes it the ideal location for writing history.

Eni served as a national sponsor for the third time at the recent Monza Formula One Grand Prix. Charles Leclerc set a new speed record for Scuderia Ferrari, reaching 349.7 kilometers per hour. The young Frenchman gave Ferrari its first home victory in 11 years! In addition to the enormous pulling power of the partnership between the Monza and Eni circuits, there are shared values.

Eni Chief Services & Stakeholder Relations Officer Claudio Granata said, "The partnership aims to support sports values such as history, tradition, competition, and loyalty, which ENI identifies with and believes in.” Racing cars' technology is put to the ultimate test because of the track's extreme speed. Long straights and ultra-fast bends put extreme mechanical and thermal stress on the engine and gearbox. Such conditions encourage Eni to innovate and demonstrate the quality of its engine oils.

The Italian Grand Prix provided just such an opportunity in 1988. Eni's motor oil partnership with Scuderia Ferrari helped them win a historic 1-2. Two laps before the end, Gerhard Berger took the lead. In second place was his teammate Michele Alboreto, who averaged 228,528 km/h. Ferrari won both races at Monza for the first time since 1979.

So it can be said that ENI has just not been limited to an energy corporation. It has a massive historical and technical impact on the world of Racing.
