About me
My name is Tobias Welker, born in 1984. I am a father and work in vehicle development at BMW. Cars have always fascinated me – not merely as a means of transport, but as a combination of engineering, craftsmanship and emotion.
Even at school, I enthusiastically gave presentations on active and passive vehicle safety systems. Later, while studying automotive electronics, I helped fellow students establish Einstein Motorsport e.V. – with the aim of building our own racing car and entering competitions.
As technical director, I helped design and build our first racing car. In 2006, we competed with it against international teams at the Formula Student event at the Hockenheimring – at the time still powered by a 600 cc motorcycle engine.
Ever since, the dream of one day building a car for myself has never disappeared – perhaps a Lotus Seven or an AC Cobra kit. Today, my Wiesmann MF4 GT is probably the most beautiful connection between that old dream, my passion for engineering and a fulfilling family life with three wonderful daughters.
