The founding of Veritas GmbH in 1948 marks the beginning of a fascinating motor-racing story that is unparalleled even today.



On the basis of the BMW 328, Ernst Loof, Schorsch Meyer and Lorenz Dietrich build the first 'BMW Veritas' and begin an incomparable series of racetrack victories in 1949:

A Veritas wins its first race in front of 300,000 fascinated spectators in the first race after the Second World War. All in all, the successful racing car wins 13 German Championships and takes 29 first places within just a few years.

Since 1951, the 'Veritas-Nürburgring' is made in the pits of the Nürburgring racetrack.

In the same year, the unparalleled development of the racing team is crowned by the participation of a Veritas Meteor in the Swiss Formula 1 Grand Prix:
Which makes the Veritas the first German Formula 1 racing car ever.

Even today, the fascination exercised by this legendary racing car is as powerful as ever.

With the RS III, Veritas has launched the next generation – the continuation of a success story that simultaneously heralds the beginning of a new era.
