French motor oils and industrial lubricants producer Motul, the title sponsor of the Superbike World Championship (WorldSBK), has been named the main event sponsor of this weekend’s Thai leg of the motorcycling series.
The three-day event will take place at the Chang International Circuit in Buriram from March 11-13 and will officially be named the Motul Thai Round. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Motul in July struck a five-year agreement to become the title sponsor of WorldSBK. The 2016 season, which began last month in Australia, marks the first year of a deal that will run until the end of the 2020 campaign.
Thailand joined the WorldSBK calendar last season under a three-year race deal.
