Following its success around the globe, A9 Lubricant Technology heads to Autosport International next week as part of its UK launch. The engine and transmission lubricant, designed to increase performance and reduce engine wear, has been successfully used by teams at major international races, as well as UK racing team, Neil Fowler Motorsport.

Competing in the Historic Formula Ford Series, the most competitive club race series in existence, Race Team Director Neil Fowler has been a huge supporter of A9 Technology for the past nine years, with his team winning the Historic Formula Ford championship five times since 2001 and enjoying numerous overseas victories.

“We began using A9 almost a decade ago and the first time we sent an engine back for winter rebuild, the engineer called to ask if there had been a mix-up and had we sent the wrong one,” recalls Neil. “After starting work on that first engine, he genuinely didn’t think it had been used when, in actual fact, it had been through a hard season full of races.

“In motorsport, reliability is key and since using A9 Technology, we have seen a significant decrease in engine wear, along with increased performance, as well as saving an incalculable amount of money. It’s fantastic that it will now be sold in the UK and I am in discussions with the new UK distributor to ensure uninterrupted supplies.”

A9 products are tested in very tough environments on track

Invented by Renan Biro, an industrial research chemist from a family synonymous with legendary inventions, A9 Technology works by applying an ultra-low friction protective film on the metal component surfaces in engines, transmissions and fuel systems, and has been proved to significantly reduce engine wear, increase reliability and lower running costs.

UK Distributor Richard Balfry explained: “A9 Technology is a unique, solvent-free, synthetic compound, guaranteed to reduce friction, heat and wear on mechanical moving parts. It has been extensively tested by EU-regulated vehicle research institutes and has been on the market internationally for quite a few years, so its efficacy is already well established. Enthusiasts in the know have been asking for A9 Technology to be made available for many years. Finally, we are bringing it to the UK market.

“A9 is especially relevant for racing and rally cars, adding another dimension to strategies by helping to enhance power and torque, increase reliability and extend engine longevity – in the process, saving money on rebuilds. It is stable up to temperatures of 535 degrees C. and engine speeds up to 22,500 rpm.. A9 Technology can save an incalculable amount of money on fuels pumps alone – normally an expensive limited life component in competition cars.”

A9 Lubricants can be found on Stand 8706 at Autosport International, held from January 12-15, at the NEC, Birmingham.
