The hugely popular PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix can trace its roots back to 1994. From the very beginning, it was meant to be a motorcycle race series that was accessible to everyone who had an intention to race. It began on the streets, and it still races on some street circuits today. Over the years, it attracted hundreds of home grown motorcycling heroes, and gave birth to such legends as Wazi Abdul Hamid, M.Meganathan, Shahrun Nizam Tamin, Chia Tuck Cheung, Soong Chee Kieong, Zulfahmi Khairuddin, Shahrol Yuzy, Md Zambia Baba and even Hafizh Syahrin. Just to name a few. PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix not only proved to be the ideal proving ground for racers, teams and mechanics, but also for PETRONAS who nurtured Cub Prix to become a platform to test their products. PETRONAS signed as the title sponsor of the Malaysian CubPrix in 2003. And from then on, the series has been known as the PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix up until today. CubPrix is an important platform for PETRONAS as it does not only help the company nurture home grown talent who can then launch themselves to the regional as well as international races. But the company also uses PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix to test and launch new Sprinta lubricants which make road going motorcycles perform better. From the race to the streets, PETRONAS Sprinta lubricants are tested, formulated and retested again in races like PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix to ensure they work at the optimum levels at all times. Some of the lubricants that have been developed on the race tracks by PETRONAS include the F700 and F900 series lubricants. Both specially formulated for four-stroke engines. The F700 is formulated using PETRONAS’ proprietary UltraFlex technology to react instantly to different demands. This semi-synthetic lubricant is suitable for all types of four-stroke engines and provides engine, gear and clutch protection and prevents clutch slippage while enhancing clutch performance for better engine responsiveness. The F900 is an advanced fully synthetic lubricant also developed using UltraFlex technology. It is designed for high performance motorcycles and is ideal for demanding riding conditions. Just like the F700, it too provides excellent engine, gear and clutch protection but also provides exceptional oxidation resistance. The F900 excels at providing durable oil performance and extended service intervals. So when you think of the PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix and everything the race series has done for motorsport, think of what the series has also produced for every motorcycle on the road today. And if you’re thinking of trying out a different lubricant for your motorcycle, then perhaps add a touch of motorsport to your engine and let the decades of innovation run through the chambers of your engine. If that does not make you feel close enough to what the PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix riders experience themselves, then perhaps visit a PETRONAS Malaysian CubPrix race when the season starts, you will be surprised at how close one is to you.
