The technical initiative sees BP and its lubricants brand Castrol providing a range of products for both McLaren's Formula 1 team and its luxury sports and supercar operations.
BP already provides high-performance lubes for the F1 Honda engines that powered McLaren's race cars since 2015 and has also been working with McLaren's Applied Technologies division.
As well as BP products, the deal will also see Castrol lubes and greases being supplied for the F1 team's Mazak-powered machine shop and its dynamic chassis rig.
According to Mike Flewitt, CEO, McLaren Automotive: “The partnership between McLaren Automotive and Castrol is an important step in our journey to deliver the highest levels of performance and efficiency from the engines in our Sports and Super car ranges. Not only will the lubricants provided by Castrol play a wide-ranging role in delivering the efficiencies across our existing cars, but our future engine generations as well.”
