Season Start: BWT Continues with Phantom Global Racing as Windhager Joins for First Porsche Carrera Cup Asia Season

Building on a part­ner­ship that began in early 2024 and driven by a shared ambi­tion to push bound­aries, BWT continues its journey with Phantom Global Racing into the new season. For Wind­hager, this marks the first year along­side the Asian racing team – an impor­tant mile­stone in the brand’s motor­sport engage­ment and global pres­ence.

Following the livery launch in February and successful preseason testing, Phantom Global Racing is ready to go racing. Two Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars will line up in the glob­ally estab­lished BWT PINK, paired with the bold Wind­hager RED, a striking combi­na­tion that reflects the strength and char­acter of the part­ner­ship.

The season begins in mid-​March at the Shanghai Inter­na­tional Circuit before taking the team across Asia, with races in China, Japan, Malaysia, Thai­land, and Singa­pore. The driver lineup blends expe­ri­ence and fresh energy: Yan Chuang (China) joins to compete in the Amateur cate­gory, while Marcus Amand (Finland) embarks on his first full season with the team, racing in the Pro cate­gory as part of the Junior Program.

As the market leader in water treat­ment, BWT – Best Water Tech­nology – delivers advanced solu­tions across the entire water cycle, from drinking water and highest-​quality water for injec­tion (WFI) used in phar­ma­ceu­tical and biotech indus­tries to water treat­ment solu­tions for heating, boiling, and cooling systems as well as swim­ming pools. Driven by its vision to “Change the World – sip by sip,” BWT’s signa­ture PINK symbol­izes inno­va­tion, respon­si­bility, and posi­tive change, inspiring a new lifestyle of hydra­tion. Through motor­sport, BWT brings this vision to life on a global stage, promoting greater aware­ness of sustain­able water consump­tion. Through its prod­ucts and tech­nolo­gies, BWT miner­al­izes local water and enriches it with valu­able minerals such as Magne­sium, Zinc and Sili­cate, reducing single-​use plastic and glass bottles as well as CO₂ emis­sions from trans­port.

This approach is comple­mented by Wind­hager – Best Heating Tech­nology, a pioneer in advanced heating solu­tions. With Wind­hagerNXT, Wind­hager high­lights its next gener­a­tion of heat pump solu­tions – defined by high energy effi­ciency, forward-​thinking tech­nology, and reduced CO₂ emis­sions. The unmis­tak­able bold RED trans­lates this sustain­able mindset into a clear visual state­ment, reflecting Wind­hager’s real-​world impact with Purest Heating

Together with Phantom Global Racing, BWT and Wind­hager carry their shared ambi­tion into the next era of racing, where perfor­mance meets respon­si­bility and inno­va­tion drives progress both on and off the track. Two brands. One team. One clear mission: For You and Planet Blue.

“Motor­sport is a powerful plat­form for BWT to show­case how sustain­able water solu­tions can make a global impact. As we enter the new Porsche Carrera Cup Asia season with Phantom Global Racing, we reaf­firm our commit­ment to combining top-​level perfor­mance with envi­ron­mental respon­si­bility. Together with Wind­hager and its forward-​thinking heating and energy solu­tions, we under­line that tech­no­log­ical inno­va­tion is key to shaping a more sustain­able future. For You and Planet Blue,” says Anna Grubeck, Head of Sport­spon­soring BWT.

“Having Marcus join Phantom Global Racing in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia while also competing in Porsche Supercup with BWT Lechner Racing under the BWT colors is a great step for everyone involved. His appoint­ment as Porsche Junior under­lines the level of talent and profes­sion­alism he brings to the program. For us, this is more than a driver announce­ment – it reflects the confi­dence placed in Phantom Global Racing as a compet­i­tive plat­form in Asia and the strength of the collab­o­ra­tion between Porsche, BWT, and our team. We are proud to see the BWT PINK repre­sented across both cham­pi­onships and excited to support his devel­op­ment while pushing for strong results throughout the season.”, says Antoine Bruneel, Commer­cial and Commu­ni­ca­tion Director Phantom Global Racing.

The new season stands at the starting line, with BWT PINK and Wind­hager RED setting the pace.
