Q Motorsport
Q Motorsport GmbH was founded by Sven Quandt and his two sons Thomas and Tobias Quandt. As a driver, Sven Quandt won the T1 Marathon Cup in 1998. In the same year, his team GECO Raid celebrated a 1-2-3 victory in the T1 classification of the Paris–Dakar Rally. From November 2002 to the end of 2004, Quandt was the head of motorsport at Mitsubishi Motors. At the same time, he began to build up the X-raid Team, which has celebrated six victories in the Dakar Rally and also won the FIA World Cup for cross-country rallies eleven times.
Sven Quandt
“With Q Motorsport, we are breaking new ground in rally raid motorsport independently of and parallel to the X-raid Team,” says Sven Quandt. “The world is changing and the Dakar Rally must also prove that it can be more sustainable. This is exactly what Q Motorsport wants to demonstrate together with Audi.”

Rolf Michl
“Given the rules in this sport, we’re happy to have such an experienced partner as Sven Quandt in the team,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Rolf Michl. “He brings decades of rally knowledge to the table as Team Principal of Q Motorsport, making him an important point of reference and experience. When it comes to race strategy, he knows how to make the best use of the strengths of our technical concept and our drivers. Everyone in the team is a thoroughbred motorsport enthusiast, as are the experienced car chiefs. They have a connection with the drivers, which is important to me because it’s not just about the technology. I particularly appreciate the commitment of our mechanics in this new project – together with their colleagues from Q Motorsport, they have to keep a highly complex vehicle at a high operational level under some of the toughest conditions, which is really challenging, especially when there’s damage.”
