History

Founded by Arkin Aka in 2005, Attempto Racing began racing lower-rank Porsche competitions before settling in Porsche Carrera Cup. The team notably won both the Porsche Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cup Germany in 2013, with Nicki Thiim and Kévin Estre respectively.^[3][4] In 2015, Attempto entered the GT3 scene with McLaren and Porsche in the Blancpain GT Series. Full campaigns with Porsche and Lamborghini followed, before the team inked a deal with Audi to field the R8 LMS from 2018 onwards.^[5] The partnership bore fruit immediately, as Kelvin van der Linde and Steijn Schothorst won on debut at Zolder.^[6][1]

In late 2019, Attempto achieved a one-two finish at the Gulf 12 Hours,^[7] before securing a historic podium at the flagship Spa 24 Hours the following year.^[8] In 2023, in collaboration with Tresor Competition and Orange1, the team expanded to three cars and won its first major title, the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, with Ricardo Feller and Mattia Drudi.^[9] It also competed in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters in 2022 and 2023.^[10]
