VIEROL expands its involvement in motorsport – new partnership with the FK-Performance racing team

At the start of the 2026 season, VIEROL is reinforcing its motorsport DNA through the VAICO brand and, through its partnership with FK Performance, is further expanding its brand presence, customer focus and technological expertise. Maximum performance, technical innovations, excitement and stories connect the quality brand VAICO with the world’s best BMW customer team and motorsport.

FK Performance Motorsport is one of the largest teams in the ADAC GT4 Germany. The team run by Fabian Finck and Martin Kaemena fielded three BMW M4 GT4s in the 2025 season. Furthermore, the team from Bremen competed in the ADAC GT Masters with the GT3 version of the BMW and celebrated major successes, including winning the title in the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) in 2025, the 2021 DTM Trophy, and finishing as runners-up in the ADAC’s long-established GT3 series in 2025. The team was also named the world’s best BMW customer team in 2025.

The BMW M4 GT3 EVO will make its debut in VAICO livery at the season opener at the Red Bull Ring – ready for tight corners and pole position. Beyond the livery, the gearbox and engine specialists at VAICO will support the racing team with specially developed performance editions of their practical repair solutions, the EXPERTS KITS+. “Through its close technical partnership with the BMW team at FK-Performance, VIEROL is underlining the strong focus on product development and engineering within its Automotive Academy. The focus is particularly on the technical further development of its high-performance engine and gearbox service kits for the global aftermarket of German premium manufacturers,” says Ulf R. Koschig, Deputy Chairman of the Board of VIEROL AG.

FK-Performance is one of the most successful German GT Masters teams

For VIEROL, this partnership provides an ideal platform to showcase VAICO’s performance and brand presence. Particular emphasis is placed here on the technical and development partnership. VIEROL’s technicians will be in constant contact with the team to translate the experiences gained in the pits and with the cars into their own development expertise for the EXPERT KITS+ repair solutions. “We are very much looking forward to this collaboration – to the excitement, top performances and encounters with garages and car enthusiasts. We share a passion for technical excellence and a enthusiasm for automotive engineering. The racing team’s winning mentality is also part of VIEROL’s DNA,” says Ibrahim Chahrour, Head of Marketing & Innovation Management at VIEROL.

The FK-Performance team is eagerly looking forward to the new season in this top-class field and is delighted about the partnership with VAICO. “With VIEROL, we share not only the North German mindset, but also the same values of excellence, a focus on success and a passion for automotive engineering. We are delighted to have the VAICO team by our side, alongside this year’s GT Masters drivers Fabio Rauer and Storm Gjerdrum, and to share their technical expertise,” said Fabian Finck, Team Principal of FK-Performance.

The 2026 ADAC GT Masters season kicks off from 24 to 26 April at the Red Bull Ring and comprises several races in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, often as part of the DTM support programme. Key venues include Zandvoort, the Lausitzring, the Nürburgring and the season finale at the Hockenheimring.
