FK Performance Motorsport has made a name for itself in German GT3 racing in recent years. After the Bremen-based team entered the ADAC GT Masters in 2023, initial successes quickly followed. Following its first race win in 2023, the North German racing team finished runner-up in the championship in 2024 in this traditional racing series.

 

In 2026, the team now wants to shift up a gear and is planning its first international GT3 programme. FK Performance Motorsport is currently working flat out on a programme in the GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS. The SRO championship is considered one of the world's largest and most important GT series. The team also remains interested in continuing its programmes on the high-profile DTM platform.

 

The GT World Challenge Europe powered by AWS is divided into an Endurance Cup and a Sprint Cup. Both cups comprise five events each. In the Endurance Cup races, participants complete four races of three or six hours each. The CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, the world's largest GT race, is also on the schedule, with 76 cars lining up at the start this year. In the Sprint Cup, two one-hour races are held per race weekend.

 

"Since our GT3 debut, it has always been a goal to compete for positions at the international level. The GT World Challenge Europe is one of the premier classes of GT racing, featuring great fields of competitors and racing at great venues. With the 24-hour race at Spa, the world's largest GT3 race is also part of the championship. Our goal is to compete in the series next year with a strong line-up and to present ourselves in the best possible light on this important stage," said the two team owners, Fabian Finck and Martin Kaemena.

 

The team, which was named the best European customer team by BMW in 2024, is currently looking for fast drivers for its programme in one of Europe's top racing series. For interested drivers, the family-like but professional team offers the opportunity to work with experienced race engineers, a professional image and its own hospitality for guests, sponsors and customers. With the experience and success gained in the ADAC GT Masters, the team also aims to play a major role on the international GT stage in the future.

The GT4 European Series powered by RAFA Racing Club, which is part of the support programme, is also an interesting field of activity for FK Performance Motorsport. More than 40 racing cars regularly line up at the start here. The team offers driver seats here for interested customer drivers. The team has also enjoyed considerable success in the GT4 segment. Ben Green won the DTM Trophy in 2021 in a BMW fielded by the North German team, and the team has also won the GT4 class several times in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring.
