Knaepkens Racing

Racing without compromise.

Knaepkens Racing is an official Porsche team with one mission: winning.
Not just competing. Not following. Dominating.

We operate at the highest level in two of Europe’s most demanding championships:

  • GT World Challenge Europe – with the Porsche 992 GT3 R

  • Belcar Endurance Championship – with the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup

Combining cutting-edge technology with military-grade discipline and an all-in race culture, Knaepkens Racing is built to deliver results. Nothing else matters.

Performance comes first

At Knaepkens Racing, we don’t just run Porsches — we run them to perfection.
Our cars are built, tested, and tuned in-house to exact factory specifications, with one goal: maximum performance.

  • The GT3 R – A weapon for both sprint and endurance racing, built for aerodynamic precision and raw power.

  • The GT3 Cup – Lightweight, direct, and brutally honest. In Belcar, it separates drivers from real racers.

Our engineers and mechanics operate as one. Setup, tyre strategy, telemetry, pit work — every second is calculated, every detail optimized.

A team built on structure and vision

There is no improvisation at Knaepkens Racing.
We run like a high-performance operation.
Every weekend is prepared down to the last bolt. Every lap is analyzed. Every error becomes fuel for improvement.

We invest in:

  • Data-driven decisions

  • Highly skilled crew and drivers

  • Precision planning for every circuit

  • Communication and strategy under pressure

This isn’t motorsport for show — it’s motorsport for victory.

More than a team — a factory force

As a Porsche factory-supported team, we work directly with Weissach.
We get early access to developments, technical insights, and the full backing of one of the world’s most respected manufacturers.

This partnership isn’t branding — it’s performance. Measurable. Tangible. Relentless.

Why Knaepkens Racing?

Because speed is not luck.
Because every tenth of a second matters.
Because we refuse to settle for anything less than excellence.

There are teams that show up.
And there are teams that take over.
We’re not here to be part of the field — we’re here to lead it.

Follow the journey. Follow the action.

Knaepkens Racing is the benchmark for Porsche GT racing in Europe.
We’re pushing the limits — in the garage, on the track, and on the podium.

GT World Challenge. Belcar. Full focus. Full attack.
Welcome to Knaepkens Racing.
