Team WRT was founded in Belgium and has evolved over the years from a regionally anchored racing team to an internationally respected name in endurance and GT racing. The team’s roots lie in Belgian motorsport, where it initially gained experience in national and European series before taking the step into the major international categories. This gradual development continues to shape the team culture today, which is based on continuity, technical expertise, and a close connection to the region.
A distinguishing feature of Team WRT is its close connection to the location in Meeuwen-Gruitrode, where the team base is located. From there, not only the logistics for numerous international racing series are managed, but also the technical development is advanced, which has made the team competitive in various vehicle classes. This base in rural Belgium contrasts with the large, often urban motorsport centers of Europe and is perceived by fans and insiders alike as a distinctive characteristic of the team’s identity.
WRT has earned its reputation as one of Europe’s most successful GT and prototype teams primarily through numerous podium finishes and victories in various international racing series, in which the team has consistently been able to compete at the front over many years. The combination of experienced engineers and talented drivers has made the team a sought-after partner for manufacturers looking for a reliable and high-performance customer team. This reputation as a professionally managed organization with high technical standards has accompanied the team to the present day.
With its entry into the FIA World Endurance Championship, Team WRT has opened a new chapter in its history and established itself in the top class of endurance racing. Under the leadership of the team principal, the current factory effort is managed with high demands on precision and teamwork, with driver pairings regularly delivering strong results and establishing the team as a fixture in the Hypercar class. The combination of experienced pilots and a well-coordinated engineering team forms the backbone of the current sporting direction.
With an eye toward the 2026 season, Team WRT’s focus is on continuity and further performance improvements in the highly competitive Hypercar field of the WEC. The responsible parties are relying on the further development of the existing technical base as well as close collaboration with the manufacturer partner in order to be able to compete for top positions in the overall standings in the long term. The coming years will show whether the team can continue its success story from GT and prototype racing in the highest class of endurance motorsport.
