Motul To Partner Alex Cascatău and BSRacing Throughout 2020 Season
Motul, one of the biggest names in the oils and lubricants industry, is backing Alex Cascatău this season as he tackles the Supercar Challenge in a Norma M20 FC entered by BSRacing. The French company, partner to many of the world’s top factory racing teams, will provide BSRacing with Motul 300V Competition synthetic racing oil as the team fights for honours in the competitive CN category. This will ensure maximum engine performance and minimum wear for the Luxembourg-based squad.
The 20th season of the well-known Supercar Challenge is about to kick off at Belgium’s Circuit Zolder on the weekend of 7-9 August and Alex Cascatău is ready to race with a new partner by his side in Motul. The Romanian, who stunned the established teams and drivers during his standout drive in last year’s 24 Hours of Zolder, the blue ribbon event of the Belcar championship, is eager to race alongside team-mate Alain Berg now that the oily business has been taken care of.
Cascatău will contest the entire 2020 season of the Supercar Challenge that will see the Romanian Endurance Series A2 champion race at other top-level venues besides Zolder, namely Assen and Zandvoort in the Netherlands. In all, five rounds are scheduled over a course of less than three months including three visits at Assen, the Dutch home of the MotoGP World Championship, and one at Zandvoort, a track that will feature on the 2021 Formula 1 calendar.
