1000th WIN FOR MERCEDES-AMG CUSTOMER RACING

By winning the Ultimate Cup European Series round at Mugello on July 10, 2026, the KENNOL Racing Team’s Mercedes-AMG GT3 didn’t just claim victory: it officially sealed the 1,000th overall win for the Mercedes-AMG Customer Racing programme. Let’s discover more about that incredible milestone!

▌THE ART OF HIGH-SPEED ENDURANCE

This is no ordinary racing ground. The Ultimate Cup European Series brings together packed grids of GTs, Prototypes, and Single-Seaters across Europe’s most demanding tracks. Organized as motorsport’s ultimate proving ground, it is a grueling mix of sprint aggression and endurance strategy, where raw pace means nothing without absolute mechanical reliability.

For its 2026 Italian round on the rolling, high-g Tuscan layout of Mugello, the championship delivered an intense battle across the weekend. High speeds, brutal thermal stress, and ruthless competition. Yet the #1000 milestone was delivered with textbook French composure and German horsepower. Facing a stacked GT grid, the KENNOL Racing Team executed a flawless performance from lights out to the chequered flag. Driver Vincent Iogna led from pole position to the finish line, setting the fastest lap and taming the demanding asphalt of Tuscany under extreme heat.

In a world racing toward sterile electrification, a world where internal combustion engines are too often sidelined, victories like this offer something defiantly different. Here, every stint became a statement. Every lap at full throttle lit up the pit lane. This is the unifying power of the machine, and it is exactly the kind of authentic, mechanical emotion that KENNOL ULTIMA range of products was born to defend.

▌THE 1,000th REASON WHY THE TRACK IS OUR LAB

This is where the singularity of the partnership with Ultimate Cup European Series truly comes into focus. As a factory team and title partner, KENNOL doesn’t come for visibility. The brand was born on the track, in Cholet, France. Its founders driven by a love of mechanics, high-performance fluids, and fine engineering. The racetrack is, in every sense, KENNOL‘s open-air laboratory and its natural home.

There is a charming poetic justice in a French lubricant manufacturer powering the 1,000th victory of one of Germany’s most iconic racing programs. But make no mistake: this milestone wasn’t achieved by chance or clever branding. Pushing 100% synthetic formulations to their absolute physical limits under extreme endurance conditions is how we ensure that every drop engineered in France stands up to the toughest real-world demands.

That philosophy is the heart of it. The true judge of racing excellence is performance under pressure, and on this score, the Mugello victory was an absolute success. More than a sponsor’s name on a livery, KENNOL has become a genuine provider of passion: for the drivers in the cockpit, the mechanics in the garage, and everyone who still believes that the sound of a great engine pushed to victory is a story worth telling.

And this history continues. See you at the next chequered flag.
