The Huber Racing and Proton Huber names have been retired, with Proton Competition set to field all of its racing efforts under a single banner this season.
That will include the current LMGT3 programme with Ford in FIA WEC, the LMP2 programmes in ELMS, Asian LMS and at Le Mans, The Porsche LMGT3 programmes in ELMS and Asian LMS plus the Porsche GT and One-make programmes that previously ran under Proton-Huber and Huber Racing banners.
As for Hypercar, whilst both of the team’s Porsche 963s are currently inactive, team principal Christian Ried has confirmed they are currently housed at the team’s workshop and ready to test ahead of potential programmes.
This could include the Asian Le Mans Series this coming season and potentially, future prospects in the WEC’s top class, depending on Porsche’s decisions about its future motorsport strategy.
The move comes at the start of the first season without Christoph Huber playing an active role in its operations.
Huber stepped down as managing director of Huber Racing in August 2025, after nine years at the helm.
Proton Competition first entered a partnership with Huber’s eponymous operation at the start of 2024, for Porsche Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, in a deal which saw Christian Ried become the majority owner of Huber Racing.
Proton Huber Racing, as it was then rebranded as, has since expanded into GT3 competition, and won last year’s 24H Series European Series teams’ title.
Ried commented: “No other team offers drivers the chance to progress within a single team from the Porsche one-make series through GT3 racing to the LMP and Hypercar classes.
“The development of Proton Competition in recent years and the addition of the [Huber Racing] team in Hofkirchen have been essential in this regard.”
