Racing Heritage, Engineering Excellence and the Next Generation of Motorsport

A Czech family-run racing team with a motorsport history dating back to 2006, European racing achievements and its own technical and engineering facilities.

Who We Are

SVC GROUP RACING is a Czech family-run motorsport team based in Náchod, Czech Republic. It continues the racing activities of SVC GROUP and Vladimír Vitver's team, which has competed in national and international motorsport events since 2006.

Throughout its history, the team has operated under several names, including SVC Náchod Motorsport, SVC Vitver Racing and SVC Racing. These names reflect different stages of its development, technical projects and racing programmes.

The common foundation has always been the combination of competitive motorsport with in-house engineering, racing car development and the industrial expertise of the family-owned SVC GROUP.

Today, the team focuses primarily on young driver development, the preparation of single-seater racing cars and the continuation of its family motorsport tradition.

Technical and Industrial Background – SVC GROUP

The racing team's technical foundation is supported by SVC GROUP s.r.o., a Czech manufacturer of automotive components with a manufacturing heritage spanning almost four decades.

The company specialises in research, development, engineering and manufacturing of towing systems, automotive accessories and related technical solutions.

Its product portfolio includes more than 1,900 types of products and components. SVC GROUP operates its own design and development facilities, manufacturing technologies and quality control processes.

The company also applies its engineering expertise to motorsport, having contributed to the preparation, modification and development of racing cars.

An important part of this history is the work carried out on Audi TT-R DTM racing cars originating from the German ABT Sportsline racing programme. These cars subsequently became the foundation of SVC Vitver Racing's successful European hill climb project.

The combination of industrial engineering and practical motorsport experience remains one of the team's defining strengths.

Racing Team History – Since 2006

The modern history of SVC Racing began in 2006, when Vladimír Vitver started competing regularly in motorsport events.

Over the following seasons, the team progressively expanded its activities from national hill climb competitions to international events, circuit racing and FIA European Championship competition.

Its racing machinery evolved from modified touring and sports cars to dedicated Lotus racing specials and highly developed Audi TT-R DTM race cars.

In-house engineering, structural modifications, aerodynamic development and powertrain optimisation played an important role in the team's ability to achieve competitive results against established European competitors.

Success in the FIA European Hill Climb Championship

One of the most successful chapters in the team's history was its participation in the FIA European Hill Climb Championship.

Driving SVC Racing machinery, Vladimír Vitver achieved numerous international results, particularly in the E2-SH class.

Key achievements include:

• Five first-place finishes in the final European E2-SH class standings – 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

• Three third-place finishes in the overall European Category 2 standings – 2013, 2016 and 2018.

• Further podium finishes in European, Czech national and international competitions.

• Recognition with the prestigious Czech Golden Steering Wheel award.

• Success in team classifications and circuit racing events.

These results represent an important part of SVC Racing's heritage and demonstrate the team's ability to develop and prepare competitive racing machinery for European motorsport competition.

Audi TT-R DTM – An Exceptional Engineering Project

One of the team's most recognisable racing cars was the Audi TT-R DTM, originally developed for the German ABT Sportsline racing programme.

After acquiring the car, SVC Racing undertook an extensive engineering and development programme to adapt it to the specific demands of European hill climb competition.

Under the direction of Vladimír Vitver, the project evolved into a highly modified racing car featuring a V8 engine, extensive aerodynamic modifications and individually developed engineering components.

The car underwent several stages of development and, under the names MATY and later MATY II, became one of the team's most distinctive motorsport projects.

Today, the Audi TT-R DTM represents a significant part of SVC Racing's technical and competitive heritage, reflecting an era of successful participation in European Championship events.

A New Chapter – Developing Young Racing Drivers

Following many years of competition in European hill climb racing, the team began developing a new area of activity: supporting and preparing young racing drivers.

From 2020 onwards, SVC Racing established a karting programme focused on fundamental driving skills, technical understanding and structured long-term driver development.

A central part of this programme was Matyas Vladimír Vitver, who progressed through Czech and international karting competitions, winning championship titles and gaining experience in European and world-level karting.

Throughout his development, the team has drawn upon its own engineering and organisational resources, together with experience gained from previous motorsport projects.

Formula 4 – The Next Generation of SVC Racing

In 2025, the team entered a new phase of its history by beginning its transition into single-seater racing.

SVC GROUP RACING acquired a Tatuus F4 T-421 Gen 2 for Matyas Vitver and established a structured development programme combining physical training, racing simulator sessions, technical preparation and circuit testing.

The 2026 season focused on gaining real racing experience ahead of a planned entry into international Formula 4 championships.

At just 14 years old, Matyas achieved several victories in the Formula 4 category of the Carbonia Cup series and, according to team records, completed more than 7,100 kilometres of testing and racing during the season.

Through this programme, SVC GROUP RACING has built upon its established motorsport heritage while developing a new focus on single-seater racing and the long-term progression of young drivers.

Technical and Racing Facilities

SVC GROUP RACING operates its own racing car preparation facilities, mechanical equipment, chassis geometry measurement and setup systems, and transport infrastructure for racing and testing activities.

The team's technical programme includes racing data analysis, vehicle dynamics evaluation, chassis setup development and direct technical collaboration with its drivers.

A dedicated racing simulator supports driver preparation, while structured circuit testing programmes provide practical opportunities for performance development.

SVC Racing's philosophy is based on a long-term approach to both engineering and driver development, rather than focusing solely on individual race events.

The Future – Continuing a Family Racing Tradition

For the Vitver family, motorsport has always represented more than simply competing in races. It combines engineering, innovation, sporting ambition and long-term teamwork.

The current Formula 4 programme represents the next generation of this family racing tradition.

After years of representing the Czech Republic in European hill climb competition, the team's next chapter focuses on supporting Matyas Vitver and creating the conditions for his continued development as a racing driver.

SVC GROUP RACING aims to preserve its engineering knowledge and racing experience while applying them to the development of a new generation of drivers.

SVC GROUP RACING – Built on Experience. Driven by the Next Generation.
