Freisinger Motorsport is a German company which has tuned,restored, and racedPorsches since 1967. Founded by Manfred Freisinger inKarlsruhe, the company now is run by his son Manfred Freisinger Jr.
Since 1992, the company has competed internationally, initially running in thePorsche Supercup, before moving into theBPR Global GT Series and24 Hours of Le Mans. Freisinger's first international victory came at the1998 Petit Le Mans, winning in the LMGT2 class with aPorsche 911 GT2. By 1999, they were running in theFIA GT Championship and earned third in the teams championship that year. 2000 saw them earn their first FIA GT win atEuroSpeedway Lausitz on way to a fourth place in the championship.
By 2002, Freisinger would move to the small N-GT class of FIA GT, where they would win the teams championship with seven class victories, including at theSpa 24 Hours. Although managing a mere three class wins, including an overall win at Spa 24 Hours, Freisinger would again take the N-GT championship in 2003.
With this success, Freisinger expanded to a three car team for 2004, allowing them to win a combined total of nine races out of the eleven races scheduled, including sweeping the podium in their class at the Spa 24 Hours. This not only earned Freisinger their third straight N-GT championship, but also earned them second place as well due to the teams being scored separately. During 2004, Freisinger also participated in theLe Mans Series, taking two class wins that season.
However, after the success of 2004 and the following loss of Russian sponsor Yukos, the team decided to withdraw from motorsports in order to concentrate on theirtuning and restoration divisions.
