From the 2026 season, another team will be added to endurance racing on the N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife: Under the name Mercedes-AMG Team RAVENOL<\/strong>, Mercedes-AMG GT3 is planned to compete in the ADAC RAVENOL N\u00fcrburgring Endurance Series<\/strong> (NLS) and the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Race N\u00fcrburgring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n The project is designed as a multi-year cooperation. The plan is to compete in a total of six NLS events and the 24-hour race on the Nordschleife. Operational implementation is carried out by Winward Racing<\/strong>, which acts as the official Mercedes-AMG performance team and draws on technical support from Mercedes-AMG Motorsport<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n The vehicle's design is based on the appearance of an existing Mercedes-AMG GT3 in touring car racing. The race car will compete with the starting number 80, referencing the year RAVENOL was founded in 1946. A cheetah motif complements the design as a visual highlight.<\/p>\n\n With the planned commitment, RAVENOL is further expanding its presence in international endurance racing. The company has already been active as a partner in the N\u00fcrburgring environment for several years and, among other things, provides names for central racing series and events. At the recent 24-hour race, a significant proportion of the starting field relied on products from the lubricant manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n Statements from those involved underline the long-term orientation of the project and the existing cooperation between RAVENOL, Mercedes-AMG Motorsport, and Winward Racing. The aim is to make the partnership visible on the Nordschleife in the future.<\/p>\n\n Further details on driver pairings, deployment planning, and technical specifications will be announced at a later date.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
