Motul gives its name to the Virage du Ronnement on the Le Mans circuit

New name for the Virage du Ronnement, on the Le Mans circuit. On the sidelines of 24 Hours of Le Mans 2022 (June 11-12), the ACO and the Motul brand have sealed the naming of the last bend of the Le Mans loop. 

This naming is the result of several decades of presence at Le Mans of Motul, partner of the ACO since 1954 and supplier of official lubricant of the WEC and 24 hours since 2016. Today, the American brand is a technical partner of the Glickenhaus Hypercar team. Motul also supplies lubricants for LM P2s with Gibson engines.
