Champion Motorsport Profile

 The word "champion" is always associated with winners, and no one exemplifies this description better than Champion Motors. Located in Pompano Beach in the heart of South Florida, the company has achieved unparalleled success in the automotive and motorsports industries. Founded in 1988 by owner Dave Maraj, Champion's unwavering commitment to customer service, a stunning designer showroom, and unrivaled innovations in sales and marketing earned the company the enviable status of the largest Porsche dealer in the world as well as one of the top Audi dealers in the Southeast.
Capitilizing on this success, Champion entered the motorsports arena with its own team in '92 and quickly emerged a formidable contender in the exciting Professional Sports Car Racing. An ongoing, collaborative effort with the Porsche factory has resulted in the development of some of the most competitive, high performance cars on the racing circuit.

With a rich racing history, Champion has put cars on the track for drivers such as Thierry Boutsen, Hans Stuck, Juan Fangio II, Bob Wollek, Derek Bell, Allan McNish, Bill Adam, Ralf Kelleners, Dorsey Schroeder, James Weaver among others.

For the Speedvision GT Series, Champion has team with Audi North America to field a team comprised of the 1999 Speedvision Touring Car driver, Michael Galati. In addition, 5 time Le Mans winner Derek Bell will drive the Speedvision Audi S4 and perform commentary as he races in the series.

Don Skuta, Champion's Vice President of Business Development, has a simple explanation for the company's racing success, "Champion's philosophy is we race what we sell. Our efforts on the track serve to showcase the same top-of-the-line automobiles we have in our showroom. Racing allows us to demonstrate to our customers that our cars can compete against other high performance vehicles in the world."

With numerous awards, driver's crowns, and many of racing records to its credit, Champion no longer has to explain why it makes sense to show off its latest products in the racing arena. The national and international recognition Champion has received for its racing team and its sponsors has reaped tremendous benefits for the company and everyone associated with its commitment to excellence.
