A successful race weekend under challenging conditions: BASINOL\u00ae brand ambassador Kevin Rohrscheidt and teammate Maxi Tarillion secured two podium finishes in the McLaren Trophy Europe at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Competing in the McLaren Artura Trophy EVO with British racing team Paddock Motorsport, the duo finished third and second in the PRO-AM category on 3\u20134 October 2026.<\/p>\n
The opening race on Saturday already demonstrated the team’s competitive pace. Kevin Rohrscheidt took the start and quickly made progress through the field before handing the car over to Maxi Tarillion. Building on a consistent first stint, Tarillion maintained the team’s strong position and brought the McLaren home in third place in the PRO-AM category.<\/p>\n
Weather conditions added an extra challenge throughout the weekend. Heavy rain and severe storms caused significant disruptions to the event schedule, including delays and the cancellation of Sunday’s practice and qualifying sessions.<\/p>\n
Despite the unpredictable weather, both races took place in dry conditions, allowing the drivers to push their cars to the limit.<\/p>\n
Sunday’s second race became one of the highlights of the weekend.<\/p>\n
Following a dramatic opening phase and several position changes, Kevin Rohrscheidt took over the McLaren from Maxi Tarillion in fifth position in the PRO-AM category.<\/p>\n
What followed was one of Rohrscheidt’s strongest race performances to date. With consistent lap times, determined overtaking moves and excellent racecraft, he worked his way through the field and climbed into second place.<\/p>\n
The closing stages demanded everything from the BASINOL\u00ae brand ambassador. Under relentless pressure from the cars behind, Rohrscheidt defended his position for numerous laps, holding off repeated attacks while maintaining his pace and composure.<\/p>\n
After an intense battle until the chequered flag, he secured second place and another well-deserved podium finish for the team.<\/p>\n
The double podium in Barcelona marked another successful chapter in BASINOL\u00ae’s international motorsport activities.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the season, the partnership with Kevin Rohrscheidt and Paddock Motorsport had already celebrated two podium finishes at Spa-Francorchamps.<\/p>\n
For BASINOL\u00ae, professional motorsport provides a valuable platform to demonstrate the connection between high-performance engineering, advanced lubricants and reliability under demanding conditions. Working closely with professional racing teams also creates opportunities to gain insights into the technical requirements of competitive motorsport.<\/p>\n
