Lonsee – German lubricant manufacturer RAVENOL and Team MRS GT Racing have agreed upon a technology partnership for the GT area of the Lonsee, Germany based motor-racing team. Team MRS relies on the high-performance lubricants provided by the Ravensberg based manufacturer in both the NISSAN NISMO GTR GT3 competing in the ADAC GT Masters and the Porsche 991 Cup vehicles in the Hankook 24h Series. In addition to the high-quality engine oils, RAVENOL also supplies the team with other products such as gearbox oil and brake fluid. 

Last weekend, for instance, a Porsche 991 GT3 Cup run by Team MRS made it to the podium in the Barcelona 24h Race – of course equipped with RAVENOL lubricants.

Karsten Molitor (Team Principal MRS GT Racing): “We are really delighted with having RAVENOL as additional top-class partner cooperating with us. “Not only their products represent an asset to our team but also the persons standing for RAVENOL We rely on the excellent quality of their products – what is of particular significance in endurance racing. In addition, the company RAVENOL also supports us with words and deeds in the case of questions in the lubricant area.   We thank them for their trust in us and look forward to a long and fruitful joint future.” 

“For us, MRS GT Racing represents a new partner offering us the opportunity to use and enhance our racing oils such as the RAVENOL RSS 10W-60 and the Racing Gearoil as well as our racing brake fluid in the Nissan Nissmo GTR GT3. These lubricants already have been used for many years, both in Germany and in international motor racing, in vehicles of several manufacturers,” says RAVENOL Motorsport Director Marin Huning. “With MRS GT Racing around Team Principal Karsten Molitor we have found a partner that has many successful years in sports-car racing under its belt and will provide us good input for the further performance improvement of our products. I’m looking forward to the cooperation.”
