MOBIL 1
BEST DRIVER'S CAR
The world's greatest performance cars. The world's best synthetic motor oil. One competition to own them both.
OVERVIEW
To highlight Mobil 1's factory fill status in the world's top performance vehicles, MotorTrend integrated the brand into its most prestigious annual competition: Best Driver's Car — where the industry's most impressive performance cars battle it out on road and track.
Mobil 1 owned the full editorial ecosystem surrounding the competition, from long-form articles and video highlights to social coverage of every contender, culminating in the World's Greatest Drag Race. The partnership authentically reinforced Mobil 1's role in powering vehicles built for the highest levels of performance.
To bring enthusiasts even closer, MotorTrend launched a contest offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience: attending BDC testing in person, taking hot laps, and — in year two — driving Mobil 1 factory fill exotics along the roads of the Monterey Peninsula. The campaign ultimately set new industry benchmarks in advertising effectiveness in the Auto Services category.
