CLX Motorsport was founded in the early 2000s as a small privateer team that initially made a name for itself in national endurance series before making the leap into international competition. Over the following years, a handful of mechanics and a single race car evolved into a professional structure with its own workshop, a permanent engineering staff, and a clear sporting focus on endurance racing. The path to the FIA WEC was no accident, but rather the result of years of buildup work and continuous investment in vehicle technology and personnel.
A chapter that CLX Motorsport enjoys telling to this day concerns the origin of the team name and its distinctive logo. The letter combination CLX traces back to the initials of the founding location, where the team still has its headquarters today and which was deliberately chosen away from the major motorsport hubs. This location distinction continues to shape the team culture today: short distances between office, workshop, and test facility allow development cycles to be completed faster than at some of the larger competitors with dispersed locations.
CLX Motorsport experienced its most successful phase to date in the years 2015 to 2018, when the driver pairing took part in several overall podiums in their respective class and established itself as a fixture in the midfield of the international endurance racing scene. Consistent results at classics like the 24 Hours of Le Mans ensured that the name CLX Motorsport became known to a wider audience for the first time and the team increasingly attracted attention from sponsors and driver talent.
Today the team is led by an experienced team principal who carries sporting and organizational responsibility and crucially ensures that CLX Motorsport remains competitive even in an increasingly professionalized WEC environment. The current driver pairing forms the backbone of the squad and stands for continuity and the ambition to build on previous successes. Together they are working to further refine the car package and consolidate their position within the class.
Looking ahead to the 2026 season, CLX Motorsport’s focus is on further consolidation of sporting performance as well as the integration of new technical developments expected in the regulations. The team is relying on the proven mix of experienced personnel, established infrastructure at its home base, and a driver pairing that promises stability. The coming months will show whether CLX Motorsport can build on the strong phase of previous years and establish itself permanently in the top tier of its respective class.
