'''ma-con''' is a German [[motor racing]] team. It was founded in 2001 by Marian Hamprecht.<ref name="Erfolge">{{cite web|title=Erfolge|url=http://www.macon-motorsport.de/de/Team/Erfolge|website=macon-motorsport.de|publisher=Jegasoft Media e.K.|access-date=3 March 2018|language=German}}</ref> The team started racing in the [[Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0|Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup]] and [[Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup|Formula Renault 2000 Germany]] in 2002. Currently the team competes in the [[FIA Formula 3 European Championship]]. The team always focussed on regional and continental championships in Germany and Europe.
Over time, the team entered using different names, namely '''ma-con Motorsport''', '''ma-con Racing''' and '''ma-con Engineering''' alongside the common ma-con name. For the 2011 ADAC Formel Masters season the team run a second entry named '''Krafft Walzen'''.
==History==
Founded in 2001 by successful German F3 team manager Marian Hamprecht, the team run in multiple Formula 1 feeder series and gained multiple success in the lower categories of open-wheel racing. After an early campaign in the 2002 and 2003 Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup seasons, the team bought out the [[Den Blå Avis]] outfit and thus appeared on the grid of the [[2004 International Formula 3000 Championship|2004 FIA F3000 Championship]]. Despite finishing third in the team's standings in their rookie season and pushing series veteran [[Tomáš Enge]] to fourth in the driver's championship, the team discontinued their entry and rather supported Enge's 2005 IRL entry, while joining the [[Auto GP|Italian F3000]] grid with an all-Czech team.<ref name="Erfolge"/> Despite even more success in the Italian F3000, the team took a break from racing after 2005.
In 2008 the team joined the ADAC Formel Masters to build up a junior team spanning different tiers of feeder series, leading into the graduation of [[André Rudersdorf]] and [[Sven Müller (racing driver)|Sven Müller]] within their team onto higher levels of open-wheel racing.
In order to re-gain momentum of their [[2012 FIA Formula 3 European Championship]] campaign the team closed down their ADAC Formel Masters operation despite one driver's and one team's title. The team signed British drivers [[Emil Bernstorff]] and [[Tom Blomqvist]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/98956|title=Emil Bernstorff joins European F3 series with ma-con Motorsport|first=Jamie|last=O'Leary|date=18 April 2012|work=[[Autosport]]|publisher=[[Haymarket Media Group|Haymarket Publications]]|access-date=18 April 2012}}</ref> Blomqvist had two podiums, while Bernstorff had only one. The team finished fourth in the teams' championship of [[2012 Formula 3 Euro Series]].<ref>{{cite web|title=2012 Formula 3 Euro Series|url=https://formel3guide.com/saison/saison-2011-2016/saison-2012.html?id=584|website=formel3guide.com|publisher=formel3guide.com|access-date=3 March 2018}}</ref> The team also participated with Rudersdorf in Austrian Formula 3 Cup and in the Trophy Class of the German Formula Three Championship. He won both titles.<ref>{{cite web|title=AUSTRIA FORMEL 3 CUP 2012|url=https://formel3guide.com/images/punkte/2012-punkte-af3.pdf|access-date=3 March 2018|work=formel3guide.com|publisher=formel3guide.com|language=German}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Punktestand 2012 ATS Formel-3-Cup|url=https://formel3guide.com/saison/saison-2011-2016/saison-2012.html?id=583|access-date=3 March 2018|work=formel3guide.com|publisher=formel3guide.com|language=German}}</ref>
This, however, didn't bring the success the team hoped for and stopped operating after the 2013 season. The team operated [[Christopher Höher]]'s car in the Most round of the [[2015 Remus F3 Cup]] in order to test [[Oreca]] F3 engine in the race conditions.<ref name="Oreca">{{cite news|last1=Simmons|first1=Marcus|title=Ma-Con Motorsport and ORECA debut new Formula 3 engine|url=https://www.autosport.com/f3/news/120292/oreca-f3-engine-makes-race-debut|access-date=11 August 2015|work=Autosport|publisher=Marcus Simmons|date=11 August 2015|ref=1}}</ref> He took one podium, but it was the only weekend for the ma-con crew, as in the [[Masaryk Circuit|Brno]] round Höher returned to Franz Wöss Racing's Dallara F308 Opel-Spiess.<ref>{{cite web|title=Remus Formel 3 Pokal 2015|url=https://formel3guide.com/images/punkte/2015-punkte-remus.pdf|access-date=3 March 2018|work=formel3guide.com|publisher=formel3guide.com|language=German}}</ref>
In [[2018 FIA Formula 3 European Championship|2018]] ma-con made the announcement to re-join FIA Formula 3 European Championship with German driver [[Julian Hanses]] after four-year break.<ref name="Hanses">{{cite news|last1=Wood|first1=Elliot|title=Ma-con makes surprise European F3 return with F4 graduate Hanses|url=http://www.formulascout.com/ma-con-makes-surprise-european-f3-return-with-f4-graduate-hanses/40721|access-date=15 February 2018|work=formulascout.com|publisher=Formula Scout|date=14 February 2018}}</ref>

*Notes: Brinkmann, Rudersdorf and Nielsen competed for ma-con's second entry, '''Krafft Walzen'''. However, they had to switch to ma-con's main team for the Austrian round, as the deal with Krafft Walzen didn't include races in another country and thus are all included in ma-con's statistics.
