The Haupt Racing Team (short: HRT) is a German auto racing team founded in 2020 by Hubert Haupt. It currently functions as the official Ford Racing team in Europe. HRT competes in DTM, ADAC GT Masters, GT World Challenge Europe and NLS. Over the last couple of years, HRT has accumulated lots of success including a DTM Driver's Championship, an ADAC GT Masters title and titles in the GTWC Europe.
History The Haupt Racing Team was founded in 2020 by German racing driver and entrepreneur Hubert Haupt in the wake of Black Falcon's retreat from professional racing. Having its race equipment located in Drees, near the Nürburgring, HRT focused on racing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Also, HRT took part in the GT World Challenge Europe. From its foundation, HRT acted as a Mercedes-AMG Performance Team until it switched to Ford in 2025.
HRT made its competitive debut on 27 June 2020, finishing on the podium in P2 having started on pole in the opening round of the NLS. The following round, HRT achieved its maiden victory followed by another on the next day. On 12 September 2020, HRT achieved its first international victory by winning in the first race of GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours. Since 2021 HRT has competed in the DTM, winning the drivers' title in its first season with Maximilian Götz. In 2023 HRT won the Sprint Cup in the GT World Challenge Europe Silver category—securing both the teams' and drivers' titles.
In 2025 HRT expanded its motorsport portfolio by entering into a partnership with the kart team SIM-ON to help young drivers on their to way into professional motorsport.
