Social Responsability: Sea Baptisms<br />

PORTUGAL<br />

<strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> can´t resist supporting partners, especially<br />

when the causes are special. Therefore, on September<br />

28th and 29th we´ve decided to support unconditionally<br />

the Portuguese Powerboat Federation, as well as the social<br />

institutions and people with disabilities who joined us for two<br />

days full of emotions! This initiative was integrated in the<br />

European Sport Week 2021, in the National Plan of Sport for All,<br />

and has the support of IPDJ. The Sea Baptisms took place at the<br />

Parque das Nações Marina and were a huge success!<br />

Supporting & Creating Smiles<br />

PORTUGAL<br />

There are actions that give us extra satisfaction and leave<br />

us with a sense of accomplishment. These two days of<br />

Sea Baptisms were special for everyone involved: for the<br />

institutions and their caregivers and people with special needs<br />

that participated but, without a doubt, for us who supported and<br />

brought a little of our essence to this initiative! May this be the<br />

first of many!<br />

PORTUGAL<br />

For two days, we have been<br />

part of something bigger!<br />

We´ve helped create smiles,<br />

contributed to the fun and<br />

took our brand to a level<br />

that makes us feel proud<br />

of the work that we have<br />

been doing, which includes<br />

a strong and very important<br />

social component!<br />

Diplomas & Goodie Bags!<br />

Sea baptisms without diplomas and <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> goodie<br />

bags? Not in this lifetime! In the end of each action, FPM<br />

offered participation diplomas and we, naturally, also had<br />

a special something: a goodie bag for each participant with <strong>LIQUI</strong><br />

<strong>MOLY</strong> gifts, which included caps, ballons, stickers, temporary<br />

tattoos, keychain among other things!<br />

Training: Diesel Technic Iberia<br />

PORTUGAL<br />

<strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> took another step in its partnership with Diesel<br />

Technic and Luís Ribeiro, the new sales manager for<br />

Portugal was at the <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> Academy to get to know<br />

<strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> and for a product training for heavy vehicles. The<br />

support and partnership were thus strengthened, which will<br />

translate into an increasingly stronger position of <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong><br />

also in heavy vehicles.<br />

second? For it is the most pure truth! And proof of this are<br />

Aquabike: Iberian Cup in Arcos de la<br />

Frontera<br />

SPAIN<br />

When we say that <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> is everywhere, we are not<br />

exaggerating! This time, we were not physically present<br />

at the Aquabike Iberian Cup in Arcos de La Frontera,<br />

but many riders made a point of taking our brand with them!<br />

The Portuguese Miguel Martins was crowned Iberian Champion<br />

2021 in Endurance GP1, but he was not the only one who took<br />

the podium since Rafa Feria won 2nd place. Patrick Agostinho<br />

was 1st in the Runabout GP1, Juan Aloguín won 2nd place in<br />

his category and Carlos García was 3rd in GP1. But <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong><br />

was also there with André Correia, Tiago Fonseca, F. Castro and<br />

V. Gomes. All of them, with stickers or vests, took our brand to<br />

the lands of nuestros hermanos and made our brand even more<br />

visible! Congratulations to all of you, guys!<br />

Is it just us or do our vests give a special shine to all those who wear them?<br />

40<br />

WEEK 39.2021 · <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> Iberia & South America · www.liqui-moly.com


We´re really proud of Miguel Martins! The<br />

portuguese pilot won, once again and we<br />

can glimpse our LM sticker right there!<br />

Congratulations, Miguel!<br />

Juan Aloguín is a veteran that keeps winning. He<br />

conquered the 2nd place and hat our cap with him<br />

while receiving the prize. Congratulations, Juan!<br />

Is there any doubt that Rafa is a <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> fan?<br />

41


SPAIN<br />

Patrick Agostinho used our vest and won 1st<br />

in Runabout GP1. We believe we´re kind a<br />

lucky charm, don´t you agree?<br />

This wasn´t the best race for Castro and<br />

Gomes, but we always have their back!<br />

There is no room for rivalries here (and Rafa has<br />

Rafa Feria is an avowed fan of our brand and makes a point of showing it on the stickers<br />

and the lycra that he used even in the podium!<br />

part is that we love it! The <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> Padel team<br />

participated in the 5th round of the 2021 Club League<br />

Drift: Atila is back!<br />

Our Spanish drifter is back and we couldn‘t be happier! The<br />

Ricardo Tormo Circuit was the setting for the first Volrace<br />

event in many months and Atila couldn‘t miss it! Engines<br />

revved up again, tire rubber burned and colors flooded the room,<br />

but we confess that we only see <strong>LIQUI</strong> <strong>MOLY</strong> ahead!<br />

partner that is organizing the event, the Portuguese Powerboat<br />

Federation, to the pilots and their staff, but also that Baião<br />
