For Fabian, the passion for everything technical and mechanical began at the age of just five, as he was introduced to motocross. Taking part in competitions with his bike meant he had to work on it, a lot, and during 15 years of heavy involvement in motorsport, his interest in bikes and cars grew, and thanks to his understanding of cars and engines, and his talented hands, he decided to make a living out of it. Just after school, he decided to pursue his dream and become a mechanic. He went on to earn his apprenticeship in automotive mechatronics and began his professional career at Kugler Motorsport where he specialised in setting up the cars, optimizing their performance and dyno testing. He then integrated one of the well-known names in the Porsche scene, Porsche Roitmayer in Oberhaching near Munich. His passion for the Stuttgart firm as well as his commitment to learn and expend his knowledge under Mr. Roitmayer senior helped him build a large knowledge of classic machines. With his wide experience, he is now a key team member of our Engineering department, his knowledge of Porsche’s and especially the classic ones leaves no wish unfulfilled. His desire to keep history alive through classic cars gives him the motivation to go a step further to keep these pieces of automotive art on the road.

Deniz has been on-board with Schaltkulisse since 2015 and was the first full-time employee of the company. As he often puts it, he still remembers Kevin with moving boxes under one hand and a french bulldog under the other. His first words were “car” and not “mum” and therefore he knew since the beginning that he needed to work with cars. After a few years as an asset manager at Ferrari Financial Services, he joined us as a sales manager for 6 years before overseeing our newly built state-of-the-art workshop.

Even though still in his 20’s, Sebastian has earned himself his position as the master technician of our Engineering department. No wonder, he was born with a screwdriver in his hand (not literally) and feeds on the smell of gasoline coming out of the exhaust pipes of classic Ferrari’s and such. His journey started by fixing, repairing, and modifying his bicycle, then his scooter, then his motorbike, and then he worked his way up to cars. His passion for automobiles and especially for the classic ones comes mainly from his upbringing and his father. Spending a lot of time around classic cars since a young age shaped his interest and curiosity in the functionality and mechanical aspect of engines, suspension etc. His big passion lies especially within the motorsport era from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. He has a great fascination for the Mille Miglia, in fact, he religiously follows it every year at the wheel of his charming Fiat convertible.
