MPG Competition is an amateur kart team and sim racing team that competes in various IVRC championships. It was founded in 2018 to participate in the Touring Car Championship. MPG Competition's headquarters are located in Ulm, Germany.
Racing History
Touring Car Championship
MPG Competition was founded in 2018 to enter the premier season of IVRC's Touring Car Championship. The team decided to enter with three different cars, with each driver choosing his favourite manufacturer. They later hosted a fourth car, but went back down to three cars after the withdrawal of Martin Jatzek.
At the halfway point of their first season, MPG Competition held the lead in the teams' championship with a huge advantage over the rival teams, while team principal Grimminger was leading the drivers' championship.
The team kept on their lead and won the inaugural teams' championship at Laguna Seca, two events before the end of the season.
Nürburgring Endurance
The team entered the 2018 Nürburgring Endurance race with a 3-driver line-up consisting Volland, Frau and Grimminger, sharing duties in a Ferrari 488 GT3. Due to the limitation of the race distance to 90 minutes, each driver entered on his own. Carlos Frau thus took the first major event win for MPG Competition, but the team even locked out the podium by finishing first, second and third.
Bathurst 200
The team enterd the 2018 Bathurst 200 race with a 3-driver line-up consisting Volland, Jatzek and Frau, each driving a Ford FG X Falcon. The original line-up featured Grimminger, but due to other commitments, the team brought up Jatzek as a replacement, who scored the team's first Bathurst 200 podium.
GT3 World Cup
The team will split it's entries for the 2018 GT3 World Cup with Phillip Volland and Carlos Frau and each driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3, while Martin Jatzek and Constantin Grimminger will enter with a Nissan GT-R GT3. As the rules forbid multiple car manufacturers within one team, the Mercedes entry will be listed as 'MPG Competition Europe', while the Nissan entries will race under the Macau flag and the 'MPG Competition Asia' banner.
F3 World Cup
The team will enter the 2018 F3 World Cup with Martin Jatzek, Constantin Grimminger and Carlos Frau each racing a Volkswagen-powered Dallara F312.
