In the race

In line with the Group's major business activities, Total's Competition division was set up in 1995 to boost the Group's involvement in motor-sports competition. Since 1968, Total had partnered Citroën, particularly in off-road rally competition, but now the Group shifted into top gear by also entering Formula One racing alongside Peugeot and by teaming up to sponsor a number of "promotion formula" competitions reserved for youngsters and members of Total marketing networks.

Today, Total's involvement in motor-sports covers a wide range of competitions, including the Dakar Rally, Formula One racing, the French and European Truck Championships and even sports flying.
High-technology, endurance and performance, that's what Total is all about. And the Group is constantly out there in the field, where the action is, testing under extreme conditions the new fuels and lubricants developed by Total's Research Centre.
