Team Gebhardt supports talented young talents to give them a chance in motorsport and to develop themselves further. In recent years, Fritz Gebhardt has supported several upcoming talents with former Group C driver Frank Jelinski. Examples include Abdul Rahman Al Thani in the Porsche Middle East Cup, Jakob Erlbacher in the VLN, but also some other talents in the ADAC PrototypeCup Germany.

American Courtney Krohn won the prestigious Driver Development Award last year. It was the start of the North American racing season and he was immediately on the podium in the IMSA VP Racing Sportscar Challenge. She is convinced she can continue these results in Europe.

Good times with Gianpiero Moretti in the American IMSA GTP Series in the late 80’s.

Between 1988 and 1991 the Momo Gebhardt Racing team with its Porsche 962 C was a regular part of the American IMSA GTP Championship. In 1989, the team won the Kodak Cup for most miles in the series. There was no one who dropped out that year.

Fritz Gebhardt: “We are glad to have her in the team. The previous season is over and the new season is coming for the Gebhardt Motorsport LMP3 Team.” To further develop the family business, Gebhardt’s team has been absent from the sport for over 20 years. “The pause in modern motorsport has shown us that we still have a lot to learn now, but the last race in Hockenheim 2022 showed us that we are on the right track. Let’s wait and see what happens this season.”

Successful comeback in the ADAC Prototype Cup in 2022.

Courtney Crone: “The new Ginetta will be a challenge for me to learn European circuits.” Crohn’s challenge next season. The Gebhardt team is also involved in historic motorsports and is also the organizer of the Super Cup with competitions in Hockenheim and Assen this year.

Fantastic European opportunity for Courtney Crone.
