RAVENOL wird offizieller Schmierstoffpartner der Michelin 24H SERIES
Gennep, Netherlands (26 January 2026):
RAVENOL, one of the most trusted and highly respected names in lubricant production, has signed a multi-year deal with Creventic to become an official partner of the Michelin 24H SERIES – while also extending the company’s existing support for Prototype Cup Europe.
From the start of the upcoming Michelin 24H SERIES European Series, which begins with the Michelin 12H MUGELLO on 20/21/22 March, RAVENOL will be the official lubricant supplier for the five-round championship.
Notably, the agreement will continue through subsequent years as Creventic’s premier series continues to grow and become ever-more established on the international stage with its hugely popular six, 12 and 24-hour races.
For almost 20 years the Michelin 24H SERIES has been one of the globe’s biggest multi-class endurance racing categories. In the headline GT3 class Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) cars, BMW M4 GT3 EVO, Ferrari 296 GT3 cars and many more marques besides, do battle for outright victory at some of the world’s most prestigious motor racing circuits.
In addition, there is a dedicated 992 class exclusively for Porsche 911 GT3 Cup (992) cars and a GT4 class which regularly features the likes of Mercedes-AMG and BMW. Furthermore, a GTX class includes prototype sportscars and those entries which fall in the middle ground between GT3 and GT4 specification, while a TCE-TCX class caters for ‘touring car’ style machines.
From a driver perspective, the championship welcomes all levels of experience with a range of sub divisions in each class delivering the most level playing field possible between professional drivers and those who are considered amateur racers.
As well as supplying lubricant to teams in the Michelin 24H SERIES European Series, RAVENOL branding will of course feature prominently on all of the participating cars – including the likes of Aston Martin, Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche.
Founded in 1946, RAVENOL produces its full range from state-of-the-art facilities in Werther and also Lubmin in Germany. Along with the new partnership in the Michelin 24H SERIES, the business is enhancing and expanding its existing relationship with Creventic and the Prototype Cup Europe.
For the past three seasons RAVENOL has been a partner of the Creventic organised championship which is exclusively for LMP3 specification prototype sports cars – the series was previously known as Prototype Cup Germany.
The championship is entering its fifth year in 2026, with four races scheduled, and is set for a strong campaign. Importantly, the existing agreement between Creventic and RAVENOL is being extended for the coming seasons.
Organised by Creventic’s highly professional team and officially licensed by the ACO, the Prototype Cup Europe underscores Creventic’s desire to expand its activities and provide the best platform for racing across multiple classes of endurance competition.
Orry Lichtenberg at Creventic:
“We are very proud that a well-known brand such as RAVENOL is partnering with Creventic across multiple series. RAVENOL has been a strategic partner of the Prototype Cup for several years, which was the foundation our new partnership has been built upon. Now, with Ravenol as Official Lubricant partner of the Michelin 24H SERIES, we intensify our partnership with additional exposure.
“As part of this, we also provide teams all over the world with the opportunity to get familiar with the highest level of lubricant available on the market. With races all across Europe and in the Middle East we will proudly present the Ravenol brand to a wide audience, delivering the best in endurance racing as we go!”
Martin Huning at Ravenol:
“I am very pleased that we will be the official lubricant partner of the Michelin 24H SERIES in the future. The series is excellently organized by Creventic, and we are already represented there through several team partners who have been using our products for many years. With this commitment to the Michelin 24H SERIES, RAVENOL is involved in an endurance racing series in which quality and performance over long race distances play a particularly important role.”
