Our Story

We Race What WeLove.

It started as a joke on a motorcycle trip through France. A €1,000 Twingo, no experience, no connections, no budget. We built a race car anyway, and a few hundred thousand people came along to watch. Here's how.

01

Race Anything.

Everyone else chases the latest factory-built GT3. We turn cult classics and overlooked underdogs into proper race cars. If it's got character and potential, we're in. The more people say it won't work, the more we want to do it.

02

Show All of It.

Over 100,000 people follow every weld, every lap, every breakdown. We document all of it, the wins, the failures, the what-were-we-thinking moments. Real racing, not polished PR. Turns out people can tell the difference, and they care.

03

Community Funded.

No factory budget, no corporate backing. Every euro from the shop goes straight into race entries, tyres, and track time. It's not merch, it's how the whole thing survives. A project that only exists because enough people decided it should.

The Journey

The Story.

2024
The Spark
It Started as a Joke.

Two brothers on a motorcycle trip through France, half-joking about racing the 24h Nürburgring. Someone said 'what about a Twingo.' A test post pulled hundreds of sign-ups in a week. The joke was suddenly real.

2024
The Build
A €1,000 Race Car.

Instagram went live, the first logo drawn in PowerPoint on a campsite. We bought a stock Twingo for €1,000 and a Clio donor for its engine. Tens of thousands followed before we'd turned a wheel in anger.

2025
Licences
Earning the Grid.

To race in 2026 we needed licences now. We got them in stock Twingos, then ran a street-legal BMW to bank points, driving it to the track on worn tyres and racing it home again.

2025
First Wins
The BMW Delivers.

While the Twingo was still being built, the BMW carried our colours into the NATC. First weekend out: four sprint wins, two endurance wins, zero DNFs.

2025
Nordschleife
The Twingo Runs.

The Twingo hit the Nordschleife for the first time, finished days earlier. 30 laps, zero mechanical failures. Then a Porsche ignored the rules and took us out, nearly ending the project. We rebuilt.

2025
Debut Win
It Actually Won.

The Twingo's first competitive race, back where the BMW first won. It won. Twice. The community lost it, and the marshals were baffled in the best possible way.

2025
The Pivot
Us vs. the Establishment.

The 24h organisers slammed the door on the funny little car nobody could classify. So we stopped chasing one race and went bigger: a brand that turns unexpected cars into race cars. We grew faster after.

2026
Now
Bigger Than One Car.

Over 100,000 people along for the ride. The shop funds the racing. The community has become part of the team. And the next builds are already in the pipeline.

The Team

Two Brothers, One Obsession.

Opposite working styles, same crazy idea. One runs the car and the content, the other runs the strategy, the shop, and the vision. Two brothers from Germany who turned a joke into a racing team.

Filip
Co-Founder · Car & Content

The relentless executor. He handles the build, the logistics, and content. After a full workday he still sits down and makes the post happen.

Felix
Co-Founder · Strategy & Shop

The planner. He runs strategy, systems, the shop, some content, and the brand vision. Plans it, then it gets done right.

By the Numbers

The Scale of This Thing.

We didn't expect any of this. A community-funded motorsport project built on authentic storytelling doesn't usually reach 8 million people a month from a domestic racing series in Germany.

What's Next

The Twingo Is Chapter One.

The Twingo is the whole show right now, but the idea was never about one car.

Picture a Corvette C5 that makes purists cry. A BMW straight out of Need for Speed Most Wanted, in exactly that livery. A classic Miata that's anything but ordinary.

Give us the resources and we'd start tomorrow. If it's got character and a story, it's a candidate.
