Looking back at the Carrera Panamericana 2010
Mexican Carrera Panamericana
Like the Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man, of which
Motul is a partner, the Carrera Panamericana (Pan Am)
is one of those exceptional events, unmatched in the
car racing world. The Pan Am – where speed, immo-
deration and exoticism are the buzzwords – is quite
simply the world’s craziest race to some people.
On the start line of the 2010 race, Motul could count
on seven excellent ambassadors, including French-
man Pierre de Thoisy, seven-times winner of the event.
Something of a local star, ‘El Francese’ sporting the
colours of the HK Engineering Team (single ofcial spe-
cialist of the 300 SL accredited by Mercedes Benz)
participated in the event alongside another 100%
French Motul crew: Philippe Vandromme / Frédéric
Vivier, 2007 winners of the Cross Country Rally World
Cup, in the two-wheel drive category! The least that
can be said is that these two teams were successful
since they mounted the second and third steps of the
podium in the Sport Mayor category.
Among the Motul teams, German crews wearing Mo-
tul colours also raced along the 3500 km of Mexican
roads in the 2010 event. Among these ve teams,
Thomas Ledergerber achieved the best performan-
ce at the wheel of his Mercedes-Benz 280 3.5L by
clinching eighth place of category C.

Carlos Zaid / Corvette C5-R GT1
With ve titles clinched in 2010, Motul Guatemala has
completed a highly successful 2010 sports season.
Once again, Carlos Zaid pulled off a perfect season.
With his titles of Central American GT1 Champion (for
the third consecutive time) and Guatemalan GT Cham-
pion (fourth consecutive year), the Guatemalan alone
has added two new titles to Motul’s list of victories.
The Central American Championship GT3 class was
also clinched by Motul thanks to the victory in the
overall standings of Carlos Hernandez and Marco
Morales.
Last, the other two titles are national ones. Ricardo
Chen is, for the seventh consecutive time, Champion
of Guatemala in the Super Sport class while Hugo Lo-
pez won in the Super Street class of the El Salvador
Championship.

A particularly spectacular discipline, the FIM World Ice
Racing Championship has been dominated for the
past few years by talented Russian riders. Supported
by Motul, Nikolai Krasnikov is unquestionably the dis-
cipline’s top rider. After six consecutive World Cham-
pion titles, the latest dating from this year, the rider will
once again defend his trophy on 15 January 2011 at
the rst qualication heat in Austria.

Philip Neill - Guy Martin / Relentless Suzuki by TAS / GSX-R1000
It’s now ofcial, the legendary Tourist Trophy rider, Guy
Martin, will ride his 2011 season for TAS Racing. This
reference British team (15 Tourist Trophy victories),
enjoying Suzuki’s ofcial support, will be entering the
Lincolnshire born rider in various Superstock events
as well as in the major international road races such as
the Tourist Trophy and North-West 200.
To prepare this new season as best as possible, the
rider and his team were present, mid-December, at the
Almeria circuit in Spain to make a rst series of tests. All
in all, Guy completed 80 circuit laps on his GSX-R1000
Superbike or his all-new GSX-R600. While these rst
results were more than encouraging, it’s a sure bet that
Guy is already impatient to be on the start line of his
rst race for TAS!
