Marko made his breakthrough in motorsports in 2004 when he competed in the Suzuki Cup and won it a year later. After competing in the National Rally Championship, he founded sportfahrer.at in 2006 with Robert Mittermann and Michael Wretschko. In the years that followed, the company successfully established itself as a provider of driver training on the Austrian market.

Starting in 2010, Marko once again focused more heavily on active motorsports and, as a driver and co-owner of the ZaWoTec Racing Team, won three series in a row: the BMW Challenge Group N, the KTM X-Bow Battle, and the Porsche Alpenpokal. In 2011, he also excelled as part of the winning team in the Nissan Sportscar Battle. In 2013 and 2014, he competed in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, Europe’s toughest one-make series, and made his endurance racing debut in 2014 at the 24 Hours of Barcelona.

As chief instructor at sportfahrer.at, Marko is no stranger to any drivetrain or engine design—and, of course, no brand. Whether it’s a horse, a bull, rings, a propeller, or a star. From A for Ariel Atom to Z for Zuffenhausen. Four-, six-, eight-, ten-, or twelve-cylinder engines, turbocharged or naturally aspirated—Marko has already put them all through their paces on the racetrack and set benchmark lap times that can be found on our HOTLAP page.

Mick has been an instructor at sportfahrer.at since its founding, and that’s not the only reason he’s logged thousands of kilometers on racetracks in various sports cars.

As a devoted father of two, he doesn't have quite as much time behind the wheel—but when he lines up at the start of a race, a spot on the podium is usually guaranteed.

Just like Marko, Mick has extensive technical knowledge about our favorite toys. That’s why he’s always ready to listen to our participants—especially when it comes to questions about riding technique and setup…

Cisi was already an indispensable asset and a great help with our former KTM X-Bow during the 2016 season—not only as a coach at customer events, a technical advisor, and a helper with the installation of data analysis equipment.

Cisi also proved in 2016, in the X-Bow Rookies Challenge—his first race—that he can be fast: He finished in third place and made it onto the podium right off the bat.

We were all the more pleased, then, when he finally decided to become a partner and contribute his extensive expertise and network even more actively.

Since his earliest childhood, Robert has been known as a car enthusiast and a true car buff. To keep his driving skills in step with the ever-increasing horsepower of his favorite toys, he completed countless driving and racetrack training sessions and was often the driving force behind organizing sports car outings.

After meeting Marko Klein during the 2005 MINI Challenge, the idea was born to channel their passion for all things automotive into a joint project. A year later, sportfahrer.at was founded together with Michael Wretschko.

Robert’s passion isn’t auto racing itself or the quest for that last tenth of a second, but rather the refined, spirited handling of fast cars and the pure joy of driving. That’s why he understands exactly what all those people need who aren’t at home in a race car cockpit but simply want to spend an exciting day at the racetrack.

Nevertheless, he has extensive knowledge of the racing world, not least because of his active involvement in various motorsports events, including as part of Marko Klein’s team, with whom he also competed in several rally events in the Suzuki Swift Cup as a co-driver.

At sportfahrer.at, Robert is responsible for all aspects of sales, marketing, advertising, public relations, and on-site customer service, and he enjoys sharing his knowledge of the racing world with anyone interested.
