ANDEROL® SPECIALTY LUBRICANTS HELP BUZZIMARINE RACERS CAPTURE 2008 VICTORIES

The waves, the weather and the grueling pace make offshore racing one of the most punishing tests of high performance. This year, Designer, Engineer and Champion Fabio Buzzi has proven to be the man with the edge: his marine racers have won two of the biggest challenges of the high seas—The Round Britain Race and the Cowes Torquay Cowes Race. His long-time technical partner, Anderol Specialty Lubricants, protected the engines.

On June 30th, the Buzzi-designed Blue FPT FB won The Round Britain Race, one of the longest and toughest anywhere: 1164 nautical miles. It swept to victory over 47 competitors in 20 hours, 36 minutes, 47 seconds, at an average speed of 56.47.

Then, on August 23rd’, Buzzi himself piloted the Red FPT FB towin the prestigious Cowes Torquay Cowes Race, in a breathtaking, 182-mile nonstop nail-biter on the English South Coast. Buzzi beat 37 other contenders—severalwho never finished. The final two competitorswere bow-to-bow, ‘til Buzzi pulled ahead by just four seconds—a stunning, record-breakingwin at 2 hours, 18minutes, 9 seconds.

Four seconds:When every advantage counts.

Team Buzzi does not leave those four seconds to chance. “Fabio Buzzi wins by pushing every highperformance advantage he has—including Anderol Specialty Lubricants,” says Patrick Meyer, Anderol Italia sales manager. Since marine engines take a brutal pounding in these races, Buzzi lubricated his four Fiat Powertrain Technologies N67 turbo dieselswith high-performance Anderol Specialty Lubricants. As Technical sponsor of Team Buzzi, Anderol Specialty Lubricants, a Division of Chemtura Corporation, makes specialty fluids for heavy-duty service, for aviation, industrial, refrigeration as well as marine applications—anywhere lubricants need an extra edge.

Buzzi, holder of 52 racing titles and 48 speed records, has had Anderol on his team for a long time. Fighting angry seas, he conquered the 2004 Tampa-Miami Race—277miles of extreme conditions— with Anderol Specialty Lubricants protecting his two Isotta Fraschini 12-cylinder, 1,300-horsepower Evolution turbo diesels. Buzzi shattered the standing speed record, bringing in his FB Design monohull at 2 hours 36 minutes, 7 seconds, at an average speed of 84,19. Just prior to the Florida competition, Buzzi also won the AmericanWord Apba and Superboat Offshore Championship.
