Rutronik Racing announces program for 2024

Rutronik Racing is expanding its commitment and is attacking the entire Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe Powered by AWS in 2024. The title will be contested in both the Endurance and Sprint Cup. In addition to the season highlight, the Crowdstrike 24 Hours of Spa, nine other race weekends are planned. The series is known for its highly competitive, international starting field and the high relevance and positive development makes it a crucial addition to the previous program from a sporting perspective.

In 2023, Rutronik Racing took on the challenge of the Endurance Cup with a top driver line-up. At the final race in Barcelona, the #96 Porsche 911 GT3 R made it onto the podium and the team wants to build on this success in the coming season.

Klaus Graf will support Rutronik Racing in this project as team boss. He has been with the team as Sporting Director since 2022 and was significantly involved in the brand change to Porsche. Fabian Plentz has decided to give up this position due to new tasks within Rutronik and is therefore stepping down from the operational business in the racing team. However, he will remain actively involved in strategic decisions and business relations in the future.

Details about the driver line-up will be communicated at a later date.

Klaus Graf, team boss Rutronik Racing: “I would like to thank Fabian Plentz for his work as team boss and his trust in me to take on this role and lead the team’s fortunes. He built the team and ultimately prepared it for further tasks. We are very satisfied with the expansion of our involvement in the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS. The series offers us an ideal platform across Europe to present our partners and sponsors. The synergies created by competing in both series, which will have an impact on both the sporting and business development of the team, are beyond doubt.”

Fabian Plentz: “It was an intensive and very successful time, for which I would first like to thank everyone involved, especially our employees. For me, it is the right time to hand over operational control and I am sure that we have found the right person for this in Klaus. I’m looking forward to further successes, which I can now look at from a new perspective.”
