IN THE HEAT OF ULTIMATE CUP SERIES
Officially KENNOL-supplied ULTIMATE CUP SERIES have had a strong 2021 season start. But the Paul Ricard races were a true step ahead. In the heat of French summer, GTs, protos and open-wheelers raced the mythical F1 track to push limits to infinity, and beyond. And to give KENNOL oils and fluids even more credit in hot summer conditions.
▌EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
ULTIMATE Cup Series 2021 started back in May. Since, the Championship kept pushing and pushing. And after a rainy Dijon race in the very beginning of this summer, a major act took place on a mythical track. International F1 Circuit Paul Ricard, at Le Castellet! Although most of the weekend was great, drivers and teams had to face another extreme condition issue: heat. With more than 30°C (86°F) in the air, the track was an oven. Especially with such a sun.
KENNOL’s values of excellence resonate perfectly with the wishes of our championships.

But dedicated products, such as the KENNOL ULTIMA range are specially designed and manufactured to face those conditions and environments. With specific additives and dedicated oil bases, our products stand the heat, the endurance, and the extremes in general.
▌HIGH-END PRODUCTS FOR EXTREME ENGINES
But not only did KENNOL bring its high-performance partnership to the series, the teams themselves are top-notch organisations, racing some of the most demanding cars. For example, it you know the famed Renault R.S.01, you know how performant and rare it is. On a track like Magny-Cours (France, to be raced in October in ULTIMATE Cup Series), it finishes the lap 5 to 6 seconds faster than a GT3. And only 30 units in the World. Almost a third of them is racing in the new KENNOL GT-Touring Sprint series.
Obviously, the Championship also stars many other vehicles, such as F3R and FR 2.0 single seaters. Or a true prototypes Championship. And drivers such as Nicolas PROST, David HALLYDAY or Emmanuel COLLARD. Next race takes place on the Bugatti circuit, at Le Mans (France), while the final round is scheduled in Estoril (Portugal), in November.
