Teamwork for success
AVL Deutschland GmbH is supporting DMSB’s Motorsport Team Germany at the FIA Motorsport Games 2024 in Valencia. Also on board is AVL RACETECH, the global motorsport department of Austrian development service provider AVL.
This underlines the company's long-standing commitment to motorsport and the promotion of talented professional and junior drivers.
At the third edition of the FIA Motorsport Games, which will be held in Valencia from October 23 to 27, 2024, German athletes will compete in 19 of 28 motorsport disciplines. At the Circuit Ricardo Tormo they will be doing battle with participants from more than 100 nations to win gold, silver, and bronze medals in this unique motorsport format.
It’s a real pleasure for Motorsport Team Germany to have AVL at its side as a strong partner. This support is key in providing the athletes selected to represent Germany with the optimum conditions for their races.
Jürgen Hieke, DMSB presidium member and team captain of Team Germany: “We’re delighted to have found in AVL a huge supporter of the German team for the FIA Motorsport Games in Valencia. After the success of 2022, when our selection won the FIA New Star Trophy in Marseille as the best-placed team in the junior and recreational sport categories, we want to be up there attacking at the front again this year and represent Germany convincingly in all disciplines.”
Ellen Lohr, Director Motorsport AVL: “In addition to technological innovations, our priority is always the humans. Which is why we are delighted to be supporting one of the best teams at this year’s FIA Motorsport Games. We are represented in all the top motorsport categories, but our work at the racetrack and in manufacturers’ development teams is usually under the radar, so we are happy to be able to be visible with our logo alongside the DMSB at the games.”
