Millers Oils supported driver takes King of Kings Drift Title
Steve Biagioni takes 1st place in 10th anniversary drift event held in Malta
Brighouse, Yorkshire- Steve Biagioni’s prestigious title win of ‘King of Kings’ Drift champion in Malta this month, has added to a great season for both Biagioni and his technical supporter Millers Oils. The competition saw the Monster Energy driver and his Nissan S13 200SX fight off stiff opposition from 15 other pro drivers to take the win. Biagioni has had a fantastic season, currently placing third in the British Drift championship and 4th in the King of Europe championship. Millers Oils provides the benefits of nanotechnology through its advanced Nanodrive lubricants, which help reduce friction, increasing available power and improving durability.
“To win King of Kings in Malta was a great achievement,” says Biagioni, Drift King of Kings Champion 2014. “Despite the poor weather, everyone was determined to have a great time and the Maltese drift organisation put on an excellent event. Millers Oils’ technical expertise and innovative products offer the durability benefits needed to succeed in drift competitions, and provide the competitive edge that every racer is looking for.”
The Nissan, which is prepared by Abbey Motorsports, runs Millers Oils’ Nanodrive® 10w60 NT engine oil and Nanodrive® CRX 75w140 NT in the rear differential and Samsonas gearbox. The nanotechnology utilised in Nanodrive® oils reduces friction without compromising film strength, reducing parasitic power loses, fuel consumption and wear whilst improving power and torque. This reduction in friction helps drift drivers retain durability in an environment that is exceptionally harsh on components, while at the same time releasing additional power from the engine to provide a competitive edge.
Biagioni’s win adds to the exceptionally successful season Millers Oils has experienced with their supported drivers, who have secured over 90 podiums between them this year.
“Biagioni’s title win is a great addition to the achievements of our supported drivers and teams,” says Jason Lavender, Business Development Manager for Motorsport and Classic, Millers Oils. “Through our motorsport support scheme we’re able to provide the lubricant expertise and products that help teams improve durability and increase available power, while further developing our technologies. We’re delighted with this year’s results and wish all our supported drivers the best of luck for the end of the season.”
About Millers Oils
Millers Oils was founded in 1887 by John Watson Miller, and since then the company has displayed a talent for innovation and industry firsts. It was the first to offer diesel specific engine oil for cars and continues to push boundaries to earn its place as a world leader in the technology of low friction. In January 2012, Millers Oils launched nanotechnology engine oils. When tested against a competitor’s oil of the same viscosity, Nanodrive recorded 40% lower friction at operating temperatures of 110°C, with significantly improved film strength. Millers Oils uses the expertise gained in motorsport and performance car development to ensure it remains a leader in automotive and commercial vehicle oils Millers Oils devotes an equivalent R &D effort to its broad range of industrial lubricants, most recently into hydraulic oil subjected to spot operating temperatures of +130 C in systems fitted with nitrogen accumulators used in offshore drilling operations. The resulting Millers Oils product is now in international use.
