Hi, I'm Dieter Bergmann, the man behind Bergmann-Racing.com
My life started a couple of miles north of Stockholm, Sweden with my German parents.
I had a father who was an ex ww2 pilot, engineer and inventor. I quickly understood that things figured out in your head often not were products that you could buy. His workshop became the place to get hold of those things and workshops since then have been my dancefloor all life.
My childhood friend Staffan Toll became age 29 professor in fiber based materials at Chalmers in Gothenburg. That became also the start for me working with advanced composite solutions in the early 90´s.
Many years later I now sit and try to give you an explanation of why I feel I can make difference in the Porsche aftermarket scene.
My brother and me imported a 1974 Porsche Carrera 2.7 in the early 80's. That car never went out of my system. It became my benchmark for sport cars. I have also worked with concept motorcycles for the last 30 years and advanced vehicle geometry solutions.
As my kids got older they started trying to convince me buying a sports car again. Finaly I bought a 991 GT3 in January 2019. The first season I drove it completely stock as it was delivered from factory. I quickly realised that the custom parts scene found in the motorcycle world not is present in modern sports car world. My love for driving things has always been strong. As a child I grew up with Go-carts. To analyse the physics and psychology behind the driving is thrilling. Making the vehicle parts doing fast driving easier is the ultimate goal.
My thesis was to build a modern GT Porsche to run with a higher degree of comfort on the road and way faster on the track with one hour of modification. I think I succeeded in that mission, the parts are tested on road & track and are to be found here.
