STLE Special Report Shares Lubricant-Related Innovations in Motorsports
The Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers (STLE) is pleased to announce the release of its new free digital special report, How Innovation in Motorsport Oil Can Benefit Conventional Oils.
As technological advancements in racing machines continue to evolve, lubricants need to keep up with the rapid and extreme temperature changes engines experience. Recent efforts by the motorsport industry have introduced energy efficiency and low carbon footprint regulations, promoting the creation of fuel-efficient lubricants and technologies such as hybridization. This report reviews how lubricant-related innovations in motorsports can be extended to conventional products because the varied conditions across different types of racing offer a valuable insight for developing conventional lubricants.
“Motorsport has long been a proving ground for lubricant innovation, pushing the limits of performance, efficiency, and sustainability,” said STLE President Jack McKenna, Sea-Land Chemical Company. “This special report highlights how advancements driven by racing—such as fuel-efficient formulations and hybrid-ready technologies—can shape the future of conventional lubricants, benefiting everyday vehicles and industrial applications alike.”
