RAVENOL gets active in the GP2 series – Team Hilmer Motorsport, official GP2 Partner of Sahara Force India, as a Partner within the Formula 1 framework

The Ravensberger Schmierstoffvertrieb GmbH and Hilmer Motorsport will partner one another in Formula sport in the future. The sphere of activity of this cooperation is the GP2 series which is seen as a direct preliminary stage to the Formula 1 world championships. The Bavarian racing team was founded in 2013 by Franz Hilmer and co-operates since 2014 with Formula 1 Team Sahara Force India. This is also expressed in the visual representation of the GP2 racers in which the vehicles strongly resemble those of the premier class. Eleven seasonal events take place all within the scope of Formula 1. "We're entering a new era of Formula 1 sport with our GP2 series activities as partners of the German team Hilmer Motorsport. We've been successfully active in this area for seven years. Formula cars still symbolise automobile sport par excellence and fascinate racing sport fans worldwide. We are happy that, with Hilmer Motorsport, we have found a partner with whom we can pursue Formula sports at a high international level“, said RAVENOL Motorsport manager Martin Huning. "We are really happy about the cooperation of our GP2 team with RAVENOL, and it’s superb to have on board a partner who is strongly involved in motor sport. Our racing cars will be on the move in the future with the RAVENOL logo, and we hope that we will be successful together on the track. “, said team boss Franz Hilmer, who is delighted with the cooperation.
