Formula GTi

Herschell has been involved with Formula GTi for the past 3 seasons in the supply of Additives, and contributing financially towards Television coverage.

Herschell and Formula GTi commenced their collaboration in 2007 and have gone from strength to strength in terms of presence at the race meetings. The eye-catching Herschell Cobra is the official Formula GTi pace car for each event and whilst parked in the pit lane, regularly draws a crowd of spectators keen to take pictures. In addition, the Herschell range of products has been a welcome addition to the teams’ equipment. With top quality lubricants, a variety of greases and de-greasers being indispensable both at the track and in the workshop, more importantly, the technical expertise to support the correct usage of these products is invaluable.
It is hoped that the Herschell / Formula GTi relationship continues to grow and becomes a long and fruitful one.

An introduction to HABOT SYNTHETIC LUBRICANTS
Conventional lubricants are mineral oil based. This means that the base fluid or carrier of these lubricants is derived form crude oil. To this base fluid a number of chemical compounds (additives) are added, to give a final product which is suitable for a specific task. For example, engine oil, gear oil, compressor oil,etc

What is a synthetic lubricant?
A synthetic lubricating oil formulated from base fluid, which is chemically engineered, for example, from weak organic acids and long chain alcohol's. This process produces a base fluid, which is tailored to the lubrication function. The additive packages are once again added to this synthetic base fluid, to form the end products for specific applications. Only synthetic lubricants can meet the critical application demands of jet engines, spacecraft, nuclear submarines and polar (sub zero temperature) operation.
