World Championship winning lubricants
Motul-Lubricated Manthey Porsche and its drivers become LMGT3 World Endurance Champions for the Second Consecutive Year.
Following on from numerous successes over the course of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship season, Motul’s partner team, Manthey Racing has now been crowned 2025 World Champion in the LMGT3 Category.
The drivers of the number 92 Manthey 1ST Phorm car - Richard Lietz, Ryan Hardwick and Riccardo Pera have also been crowned 2025 LMGT3 World Endurance Drivers Champions. After wins at both Imola and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a fourth-placed finish in the final round of the Championship, the Rolex 6 Hours of Bahrain – one place better than their nearest title rivals - was enough to secure the title for the crack German squad.
“We would like to wish everyone at Manthey Racing huge congratulations on the Manthey 1st Phorm number 92 Porsche and its driving team becoming this year’s LMGT3 World Champions,” declared Motul UK’s Head of Business, Andy Wait. “I visited Manthey earlier in the year and it is an incredibly impressive set up. You can understand how they have become successful, and we are delighted that Motul has been able to contribute to Manthey securing World Championship honours again this year.”
This is the second successive year that the Motul-partnered Manthey cars have taken both the LMGT3 World Endurance Championship and victory at the season’s blue riband event, the Le Mans 24 Hours. This comes in addition to the Motul-lubricated Manthey Porsches winning the prestigious DTM Championship in Germany.
The Manthey team use Motul products in their programme of both race and fast road cars and, not only are the Porsche race cars using Motul’s flagship 300V race oil, but also other key product lines – such as Motul RBF 700 Brake fluid - among various other Motul products.
“Winning the World Championship and Le Mans for the second consecutive time, as well as all three DTM titles – it all seems very surreal,” enthuses Manthey Racing GmbH Managing Director NIcolas Raeder. “This is a very impressive achievement and a reward for everyone’s hard work. Thank you to all the team members, drivers and partners who make this success and the entire 2025 season possible.”
