Leipert Motorsport GmbH

What Leipert Motorsport GmbH does

Leipert Motorsport GmbH is a privately held German GT racing team headquartered in Wegberg, near Düsseldorf, founded in 2002 and managed by Marcel Leipert and Marc Poos. The company operates professional racing programmes across sprint and endurance formats using Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 vehicles (V10 5.2L, 500 HP, 600 Nm, 1,250 kg) and Lamborghini Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo cars (620 HP, 1,275 kg). Active series include Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe and Asia, the Creventic 24H Series, International GT Open, ADAC GT Masters, and the inaugural GT Summer Series, with race operations spanning circuits in Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Austria, the UAE, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, China, and Singapore.

The business operates a customer-racing model in which the team sells full racing operations packages — vehicle preparation, race strategy, pit crew, driver coaching, logistics, and event management — to driver-partners and brand sponsors. Customers are primarily wealthy amateur/gentleman drivers seeking professional GT3/GT4 experience and young drivers progressing through Lamborghini's Young Driver Programme, which Leipert has supported annually since 2014 as a structured Super Trofeo-to-GT3 development pathway. Sponsorship and brand partnerships (Lamborghini Squadra Corse, MOTUL, Proficar, Bugatti Shoes, Maxicard Motorsport, Sonic Equipment) provide a secondary revenue stream tied to international race exposure.

Revenue mechanics are driven by per-car season entries across multiple simultaneous championships (one to five-plus cars per event), bundled driver packages, and sponsorship income. Pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. Competitive position rests on a two-decade track record of championships and class victories (including 2020 DTM Trophy Vice Champion, 2019 GT4 European Series team classification winner, and consecutive 24H Dubai GTX class wins in 2025 and 2026), a long-standing official partnership with Lamborghini Squadra Corse, and a multi-continent race calendar footprint that smaller independent teams struggle to replicate. The company is privately owned by its founders, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or public listing.
