The new season is just around the corner and W&S Motorsport will line up in 2026 with a strong programme. After a phenomenal season last year, the goal is clear: build on it, keep developing, and deliver.
The benchmark has been set!
W&S Motorsport is coming off the most successful season in the team’s history: 15 championship titles across six international series, including multiple overall titles in both team and driver standings. Results like that don’t happen overnight.
W&S Motorsport Academy
W&S achievements are no coincidence. They are the result of continuous development. That’s exactly where the W&S Motorsport Academy comes in: a pathway for drivers who want more than just fast lap times. The Academy concept is built on three pillars: – Skills: perfect season preparation, data and video analysis, team processes, and simulator training – Health: year-round monitoring and optimisation of physical fitness – Management: professional career development and soft skills In short: W&S doesn’t just build fast cars — W&S develops professional racing drivers.
2026: The Highest Ambition
The new season won’t be a walk in the park. Quite the opposite: more events, more race kilometres, more pressure — and in every series a field that punishes every mistake. W&S Motorsport is taking on that challenge head-on. For 2026, the programme spans multiple stages: – ADAC GT4 Germany – GT4 European Series – NLS (Nordschleife) – 24h Nürburgring – GT Summer Series
Statement from Daniel Schellhaas (Team Principal)
Of course we’re delighted to be able to announce such a strong line-up so early in the year. Four cars in the European Championship, four cars in the German Championship, four to five cars in the NLS depending on the event, and a great programme with three cars for the 24-hour race — that’s a fantastic result at this point in time. We’re incredibly excited for the new season. Many thanks to all partners and sponsors!
