Motul Emphasizes Global Motorsport Commitment through Dakar Rally and Support for Jejelogy

JAKARTA - The Dakar Rally is the highest benchmark for technology, engine durability, and consistency of performance. For this reason, every car is certainly prepared as much as possible from many sides.

In response, Motul confirmed its position at the top of the world motorsport with the status of Official Partner of the 2026 Dakar Rally, while strengthening its role through continued support for drivers who challenge the limits of their abilities, including Indonesian racer Julian Johan, or better known as Jejelogy.

"Dakar is the highest proof stage for Motul. All of our performance claims are tested there, not in the laboratory," said Managing Director of PT Motul Indonesia Energy Welmart Purba, in an official statement received, Friday, January 9.

For years, Motul has been directly involved as a technical partner for various rally teams, before later developing into a major Dakar partner since at least 2018. In Dakar, Motul is not only present as a sponsor, but as a brand that is truly tested in the most extreme conditions of desert heat, fine sand, and rocky tracks that drain the engine and the physical condition of the racer.

At the Dakar Rally, Motul provides high-performance lubricants, including the Motul 300V Motorsport and Factory Line, which are used by competitive teams in various categories. These products are designed to maintain the stability of engine performance in extreme conditions, ensure maximum protection, and maintain engine efficiency during long stages without compromise.

In addition, Motul also presents the Motul Racing Technical Team at every Dakar service center. This team provides direct technical support, including daily oil analysis for participants, a crucial role in maintaining engine reliability throughout the rally.

"This is what distinguishes Motul. We don't just sell products, but we are present directly on the field, supporting the performance of the engine technically, and becoming part of the solution in the most extreme conditions," he added.

According to him, Motul's involvement in Dakar strengthens the brand's positioning in Indonesia as a premium lubricant that is not only used for daily activities, but also tested in the world's toughest motorsport.

"Indonesia is a market with a very passionate automotive community. Dakar gives the highest legitimacy that Motul is a reliable product, from daily roads to the most extreme rally in the world," he explained.

With the status of Official Partner of the Dakar Rally, support for high-performance products, and involvement in the Original by Motul category, Motul continues to build a consistent global narrative. Support for Jejelogy strengthens the narrative at the local level, that Motul is not only present as a global brand, but also as a partner that supports the dreams of Indonesian raiders to compete on the world stage.
