Shell seals MotoGP race rights in Malaysia

Motorcycle lubricant brand Shell Advance has agreed a two-year deal with MotoGP commercial rights holder Dorna Sports to renew its title sponsorship of the series’ Malaysian Grand Prix.

Shell has a long-standing presence in MotoGP and will look to engage with consumers in the Asian market throughout the course of the agreement, which takes effect from this year’s race.

The 15th round of the MotoGP World Championship takes place on October 13 at the Sepang International Circuit on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, which was recently established as the base for the Shell Advance Asia Talent Cup – a feeder series for young Asian motorcycle riders.
