RWS Motorsport

Founded in 1995 by former racing driver and engineer Rudi Walch, the team has been involved in multiple international series, primarily the FIA GT Championship.

In 1997 the BPR series became the FIA GT Championship, and RWS with Italian drivers Luca Riccitelli and Raffaele Sangiuolo competed in the bulk of the races in the season.

The team also added sports prototype racing in the SportsRacing World Cup with a Riley & Scott-BMW with Riccitelli joining Günther Blieninger, and ran a partial season of the American Le Mans Series after one-off visits to the Rolex 24 at Daytona in the United States the previous years.

The resulting 911 GT, which featured an enlarged and more powerful motor, struggled and was abandoned after the third round of the season, while Quester and Riccitelli later moved to another team within the series.

Vasilyev and Fomenko increased their involvement in the team in 2003, bringing Russian Yukos title sponsorship as they returned to a two-car N-GT entry, but the season was winless and the duo would take their sponsor and move to Freisinger Motorsport in 2004.
