Shell extends title sponsorship of MotoGP’s Malaysian round

Multinational oil and gas company Shell has extended its title sponsorship of the Malaysian round of the MotoGP World Championship motorcycling series.

The new deal will run for two years and will cover the 2015 and 2016 editions of the event.

Under the agreement, the race will continue to be known as the Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix.

Shell will use its ongoing presence at the event to promote its Shell Advance Ultra lubricant and Shell V-Power fuel products, both of which are used by teams in MotoGP.

The extended deal will complement Shell's technical partnership with the Ducati MotoGP team.

The 2015 Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix will take place at the Sepang International Circuit on October 25.
