Schubert Motorsport
Schubert Motorsport GmbH is a private motorsport team founded and owned by team principal and European Autocross champion Torsten Schubert, and headquartered in Oschersleben, Germany (near the Motorsport Arena). The team has operated as a BMW privateer since its inception in 1999 (except in 2018), with plenty of success, and has specialised in endurance racing since 2004. Although it is closely related to contract BMW associate Schubert Motors GmbH, also owned by Torsten Schubert, they are separate entities.
For much of its earlier years, Schubert focused on touring car racing, taking numerous championships and race wins, including a remarkable 5th-place result and class win at the 2006 Nürburgring 24 Hours. Only beginning in 2007 did Schubert Motorsport initiate regular competition in GT for BMW, starting with the BMW Z4.
In 2012, after five years of GT racing, the manufacturer established Schubert as a works-assisted customer team, which effectively promoted Schubert to a factory team. As a result, Schubert reduced its efforts on touring car racing, occasionally fielding smaller cars at select endurance races from time to time.
Separately, the team used slightly different names during its time. Beginning with the name of the sister company (Schubert Motors) and then the 'Schubert Motorsport' name, the team was well known for racing under the Need for Speed banner as Need for Speed by Schubert Motorsport (alternatively: Need for Speed Team Schubert) in 2010–2011. It carried the namesakes of its sponsors (like 'PIXUM', 'Saudi Falcons', and 'SX' in their respective series) and 'BMW Sports Trophy' for 2014–2015. Since 2016, the team has competed only as 'Schubert Motorsport'.
In 2018, Schubert Motorsport briefly operated as a Honda customer team, having made the switch from BMW and entering a pair of Honda NSX GT3s in the ADAC GT Masters (despite this, Schubert Motors GmbH continued the close relationship with BMW). Nonetheless, Schubert returned to racing with BMW in 2020, following a one-year hiatus from racing, and still continued receiving factory support from the manufacturer.
In 2022, Schubert Motorsport entered the DTM for the first time as the series adopted GT3-based specifications, winning the driver and team titles in their debut year and also winning the team title again in 2024.
