Wiechers-Sport is a German auto racing team which is based in Nienburg. The team was first established in 1999, competing in German touring cars. Since its inaugural year in 2005, they have entered cars in the FIA World Touring Car Championship as an independent team with BMWs.[1] In that first year, Marc Hennerici won the Independents Trophy for the team. In 2007, Italian driver Stefano D'Aste won the WTCC independents trophy again as a Wiechers-Sport driver. For the 2008 WTCC season, a total of six drivers drove for the team in selected rounds including Olivier Tielemans, Duncan Huisman and Matthew Marsh. After a year at Proteam Motorsport, D'Aste returned to Wiechers-Sport for the 2009 WTCC season.[2]
