What Toksport WRT does
Toksport WRT (legally DBO Motor Sport GmbH, HRB 24567) is a privately held German motorsport team founded in 2002 and headquartered in Quiddelbach near the Nürburgring, with a secondary site in Kelberg totalling 8,000 sqm. The team operates two principal divisions: a GT racing programme running the Porsche 911 GT3R in DTM (two 992-generation cars) and in GT World Challenge Europe and ADAC GT Masters (historically with Mercedes-AMG GT3), and a rally programme running the Skoda Fabia Rally2 evo and Fabia RS Rally2 across the FIA World Rally Championship WRC2 category and the European Rally Championship (with up to eight rally cars fielded). In 2022 the team expanded into the LMP3 prototype class via the Ligier JS P320 in the ADAC Prototype Cup Germany, winning the inaugural championship, and the team operates a Renault Clio Trophy development series. Across its history the team has competed in 29 race series on six continents, completed more than 650 races, and won multiple FIA-sanctioned titles including the WRC2 Teams' Championship in 2020 and 2022 and the WRC2 Drivers' Championship in 2021 (Andreas Mikkelsen) and 2022 (Emil Lindholm).
The business operates as a professional services motorsport organisation. Revenue is generated from manufacturer programme partnerships with Porsche Motorsport and Skoda Motorsport (and previously Mercedes-AMG), driver and co-driver entry fees, commercial sponsorship (Renault, Michelin Motorsport, OMP, Bauer Rennkasko, Riedel, NIMEX), and prize money. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is event-driven: the team acquires drivers and commercial partners through participation in elite FIA championships (WRC, ERC, DTM) and GT racing series, leveraging competitive results and championship visibility. The team is led by Team Principal Seyhun Duru, with no disclosed parent company, external investors, or public listing.
Toksport WRT's core assets are its 20-year racing brand, its multi-series operational infrastructure, and its OEM relationships, which together enable it to offer factory-level car preparation, engineering, logistics, and championship-calibre programmes to professional drivers and co-drivers. The company employs 51–100 people and operates from a single integrated facility footprint adjacent to the Nürburgring, with global racing reach across 59 countries. Financial information (revenue, profitability, funding) is not publicly disclosed.
