Timo Wachs crowns his year with a World Cup victory – the Wachs brothers are on the rise!

The year 2025 is coming to an end, and for brothers Timo and Fabian Wachs, this is the perfect time to look back on an impressive year in motorsport. Timo, who comes from Emsland at the age of 22, won the hearts of fans with his victory at the FIM Long Track Under 23 World Cup in Vechta. At this prestigious event, which took place on a rainy Friday evening in the Reiterwaldstadion, he didn't let himself get down and secured first place, while his older brother Fabian, 27, drew attention with a solid performance in the European Championship qualification. As Speedweek reports, family support is highlighted as an important factor in their success.

Timo's path to the title was not a walk in the park. After taking second place behind Fabian in the track cup in 2019, Timo has continuously improved in the following years. His 2023 victory in the track cup in the B license paved the way for promotion to the international license class in 2024. With a lot of support, especially from his family and his team, Timo describes his World Cup victory as “indescribable”. During the race he received valuable tips from Lukas Fienhage from AC Vechta, which helped him collect the crucial points to secure the title. FIM Long Track highlights that Timo is the third winner in this category.

Brothers in top form

But it wasn't just Timo who was in the spotlight. Fabian has also achieved significant success. As a reservist at Grands Prix and at the Challenge in Morizes, he was able to gain valuable experience. He qualified for the European Championship final in Eenrum, where he finished 13th despite tough competition. At the German Championships in Schwarme he came in 9th place. He also competed for MSC Dohren in the Speedway, where the team took fifth place in the Northern League. The brothers also have big plans for 2026: They want to defend their titles and qualifications, with the focus clearly on the long track, as Speedweek emphasizes.

Although the two brothers work in their own teams, they still maintain close cooperation. This not only strengthens their sporting ambitions, but also strengthens family cohesion. In Timo's team, screwdriver Forty takes care of the technical responsibility, while Fabian's mechanic Hendrik Hukelmann is responsible for machine maintenance. Another important member is Timo's girlfriend Lea, who supports in the background. The organization is in the hands of her parents, with mom Monika and dad Wachs taking on essential tasks. Angie Dammeier rounds out the team by taking care of the social media presence. Decisions are made together, which underlines the family nature of the team.

A look into the future

A number of contracts have already been signed for the new season next year and the anticipation is great. Timo and Fabian Wachs have set their goals clearly: Together they want to build on their previous successes next year. The brothers are driven by their passion for motorsports and their tireless team spirit. As Wikipedia reports, the 2025 FIM Long Track World Championship is considered one of the highlights in motorsport history, which makes the expectations for the coming races even greater. The Wachs brothers have what it takes to continue to assert themselves at the top of long-track racing. All that's left to say is: We're excited to see what the next year has in store for you!
