Schubert Motorsport


Schubert Motorsport is a private motorsport team founded and owned by team principal Torsten Schubert, and headquartered in Oschersleben, Germany. The team operated as a BMW privateer since its inception in 1999, 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 and won a remarkable number of championships and 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.
In 2012, after five years of GT racing, the manufacturer established Schubert as a works-assisted customer team of BMW, which allowed the team to receive benefits and advantages from the cooperation. Incidentally, the team ceased operating with touring cars at this time to focus their efforts on the GT field.
Separately, the team used slightly different names during its time. Beginning with the name of the sister company and then the 'Schubert Motorsport' name, the team is well known for racing under the Need for Speed banner as Need for Speed by Schubert Motorsport in 2010-2011. It carried the 'PIXUM' namesake for the 2012-2014 season and 'BMW Sports Trophy' for 2014-2015, but went back to its roots in the 2016 season when they competed again 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. Nonetheless, Schubert returned to racing with BMW in the following year.
