The roar of engines met the hum of innovation at the Circuit Paul Ricard, as over 650 guests gathered for the latest edition of the Paul Ricard Experience, organised by BPM Exclusive — the luxury automotive arm of BPM Group founded by former French racing driver Patrick Bornhauser.
Adding a new dimension to this year’s event, the Offroad Club Monaco (OCM) came on board as the official partner for the offroad section, transforming a corner of the iconic track into a rugged playground of adventure, technology, and sustainability.
Founded in Monaco by Massimiliano and Erminia Fezia Mordenti, the OCM champions a vision of motorsport that blends performance with purpose — where technical mastery meets respect for nature. “Offroad isn’t just about horsepower or handling,” explained CEO Massimiliano Mordenti. “It’s about reconnecting with yourself and the environment. Our bioethanol-powered Mercedes G-Class 4×4² proves that sustainability and excitement can share the same track.”
The offroad arena, decked out in OCM’s signature colours, gave participants a taste of the club’s philosophy. Guests were guided through steep climbs, water crossings, and technical obstacles aboard two Mercedes-Benz G-Class 4×4² models — one running entirely on bioethanol — with Mordenti at the wheel, joined by fellow OCM members Sabino Giampetruzzi and Riccardo Teodori.
Among the high-profile attendees were Formula 1 driver Oliver Bearman, who took his first spin off the tarmac, and Italian GT driver Francesco Castellacci, who shared insights on offroad racing in an interview broadcast on OCM’s social channels.
Throughout the day, guests met the founders and immersed themselves in OCM’s world — one that prizes adventure, self-challenge, and sustainability. “What we wanted to share was the true spirit of the Offroad Club Monaco: discovery, respect, and connection,” said Erminia Fezia Mordenti. “Seeing so many enthusiasts embrace that was the greatest reward.”
This collaboration between BPM Exclusive and Offroad Club Monaco signals more than just a shared love of performance machines — it’s a statement of intent. From the eco-fuel demonstrations to the sustainable event setup, the partnership showcased how innovation and environmental responsibility can drive the next chapter of motorsport.
