Team Philosophy
Motorsport is the origin of the automotive passion and the immense motorsport know-how, from which numerous customers benefit again and again. And, of course, the fans, who have chosen the team as their favorites, when it comes to the private team from Ummendorf, Germany playing a trick on the big players in the industry, even if the personnel deployment and budget are worlds below the possibilities of the big plants.
The successes of the Felbermayr-Proton team, which has been in existence since 1996, are extremely impressive with numerous victories in the Le Mans Series.
The biggest success is the impressive win in the 2009 Le Mans Series (GT2 class), in which the Felbermyar-Proton Porsche 997 GT3-RSR put the competition in its place with perfect set-up and stability.
And it is precisely this experience that is both a source of knowledge and a sporting incentive for us.
Our passion and love is for motorsport and the Porsche brand.
