Sports car competition

During the 1990s, Walter Lechner Racing took part in the Interserie and collaborated with Reynard Motorsport to develop the Lechner Spyder SC91. From 2003 onward, the team has competed in the Porsche Supercup series, capturing its inaugural Teams' Championship title in 2005, with subsequent victories in 2007 and 2008. In 2008, Alessandro Zampedri clinched the Drivers' Championship, highlighted by a win at the Circuit de Catalunya. Distinguished drivers such as Richard Westbrook, Damien Faulkner, Danny Watts, and Patrick Huisman have all contributed to numerous race triumphs. Despite not achieving any race wins in 2009, Štefan Rosina secured third place in the overall standings.

In 2011, Lechner Racing accomplished a notable feat by securing both front-row starting positions and two podium finishes at the Porsche Carrera World Cup event, which saw participation from over 100 vehicles. Since 2009, the team has been officially designated by Porsche AG as the organizer for the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Middle East, hosting events across Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
