Austria-based private jet operator GlobeAir has expanded its motorsports portfolio by partnering with racing champion Lechner Racing. This partnership will leverage the respective strengths of both companies to create compelling value for their fans while also reinforcing the connection between private aviation and motorsport industries.

"GlobeAir continues to identify innovative partnerships that will help us stay at the forefront in the motorsport industry," says CEO Bernhard Fragner. "By partnering, it allows us to align ourselves with values shared by motorsports professionals worldwide and provide on demand luxury travel solutions for people who want quality time travel experiences."

GlobeAir will provide fans and clients with unprecedented access to the pulsing heart of race days, a chance for travellers to see the race from a whole different perspective. Invitation-only guests will have the opportunity to train in a Porsche GT4 or GT3 racing car and get the chance to experience racing on a traditional high-speed track at the Salzburgring, and company incentive offers will include exclusive access to well-known European races.

The BWT Lechner Racing Team is currently participating in the Porsche Supercup as part of Formula 1 and the Porsche Sprint Challenge.

"The Lechner Racing team has celebrated great successes in numerous racing series as a second-generation business. The partnership with GlobeAir is driven by a rooted passion for the motorsport industry. With an incredible team full of knowledge and enthusiasm, it is the perfect recipe for success in creating compelling and sustainable value for our ambitious drivers, dedicated race team and our loyal fans," says principal and CEO Robert Lechner.

The two companies will also work together to deliver weekly unique motorsport race updates, including the F1 Grand Prix and Porsche Supercup, as well as share exclusive motorsport industry insights, giving clients and fans a unique look at the current race statistics and trends impacting the motorsport race championships.
