Beginnings in the STW
Franz Engstler entered the Super Touring Car Cup in 1996 with his own motorsport team and brought two Alfa Romeo 155 to the start, which he and Oliver Mayer drove. Stephen Vollmair grabbed the steering wheel of the second Alfas on two runs . In 1997 Engstler deployed four vehicles, which were driven by himself, Frank Schmickler , Marco Bromberger and Danny Pfeil . Schmickler did not contest the entire season and so Vollmair and Gianni Giudici stepped in for him. After a year break, in 1999 two Alfas drove again under the direction of Franz Engstler. He drove one of them, the other was driven first by Christian Zink and then by Wolfgang Treml .
Success in the Procar series and in the Far East
Engstler Motorsport has been active in the ADAC Procar series with a BMW 320i since 2000 . Franz Engstler won the championship in his first year.

While the team continued to take part in the Asian Touring Car Championship, team boss Franz Engstler retired to Germany after the season. In the same year, Engstler and Rustem Teregulov also represented the team in some races in the ADAC Procar series. In 2007 Engstler now fully concentrated on the ADAC Procar series.
