In a thrilling spectacle that reverberated through the bustling streets of Jakarta, the heart of Indonesia, fans of motorcycle racing witnessed a grand historic event. Four elite riders from Honda’s MXGP and WorldSBK teams took to the city for a unique and unprecedented experience. Titled ‘The Ultimate Ride,’ this extraordinary event was made possible by collaborating with lubricant manufacturer Motul. It showcased the power of partnerships to bring together fans, riders, and the broader biking community.

The Unforgettable Journey

The stars of the show, including Tim Gajser, a five-time MXGP champion, MXGP race winner Ruben Fernandez, and WorldSBK riders Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge, weaved through Jakarta’s streets. They rode alongside hundreds of fans, who were on a diverse array of motorbikes. This spectacle highlighted the prowess of these accomplished riders. It also emphasized the unity that the world of motorsports brings to biking enthusiasts.

Motul’s Role in Uniting Communities

The event marked a collaborative effort between Motul and the Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) to strengthen their presence and celebrate their shared significance in Indonesia. Luthfi Ilhami, Managing Director of Motul Indonesia, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “This was an extraordinary event. For the first time, Motul brought four HRC riders in WorldSBK and MXGP to ride with and meet and greet hundreds of Honda communities in Jakarta. It was an unforgettable experience for HRC and Motul fans.”

Government Support for Motorsports

The event’s significance was emphasized by the backing of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Their support highlighted the event as both a celebration of motorsports and an initiative to promote local tourism, fostering the growth of the motorsport industry in Indonesia.

Motul’s Commitment to the Community:

Carlo Savoca, Motul APAC Chief Marketing Officer, stressed the brand’s commitment to its bike fan community.

“We have an extremely large and passionate community of bike fans in the region. We are proud to have been able to provide such an exclusive experience for direct interaction with the HRC racing team.”

Motul continually engages with Honda motorcycle communities in Indonesia through diverse activities, aiming to establish the brand as a highly esteemed premium lubricant in the region.

Heroes Among Fans

The presence of riders like Iker Lecuona and Xavi Vierge, who joined Honda’s factory Superbike team last year, added an extra layer of excitement. Vierge’s podium finish in the Motul-sponsored Indonesian round of the championship this year endeared him to local fans. Tim Gajser, a four-time MXGP champion, and Ruben Fernandez, who secured his first race victory this season, added to the star-studded lineup, leaving an indelible mark on the enthusiastic crowd.

The Ultimate Route

The event’s route spanned Central Jakarta, from the Thamrin 10 parking area to the Senayan Park shopping centre. Following the ride, fans had a unique chance to connect with their racing heroes during a meet and greet. This resulted in a flurry of social media posts and online videos capturing the electric atmosphere.

‘The Ultimate Ride’ serves as a testament to collaboration between industry giants, governmental bodies, and the steadfast support of passionate fans. Motul and Honda Racing Corporation not only celebrated their shared success but also contributed to the growth of motorsports in Indonesia. As the reverberations of this unprecedented event continue, it marks a milestone in uniting biking communities and fostering a deep connection between racing legends and their ardent fans in the vibrant city of Jakarta.
