About Us

About us? Well what to tell you? We could tell you just the usual background, if you want to hear that scroll down to the background section.

If the following sounds like a "mission" statement, that's because it probably is. If the way it is written sounds unprofessional, maybe to straight forward? Well then we most likely are not the right fit for you, your team or your company.

We are good at what we do because we love doing it. And we are doing it by choice and not because it is something we stuck with. We love racing, but it is not the most important thing in the world and for sure it's not solving the world's problems and neither do we. In the last twenty plus years we have established relationships, personal and professional which puts us in an unique position within the industry based on trust and honesty and that's why people work with us. We build a network of professionals for all aspects of a program so we can put together the right group of experts and talent what is needed to succeed and produce results.

We all want to make money but the saying, "if you want to make a small fortune in racing start with a big one", is there for a reason. Racing, motorsports in general especially on the top level is expensive, very expensive. And therefore it's not for everyone regardless of the talent at hand.

We chose who we work with and who we work for. Chemistry is more important for us than the "bottom line", because if you don't like who you work for, or work with it does not matter how much you get paid for doing it. Because at the end you will not enjoy doing it and the end results will show it. So why even do it in the first place then.

So If you still want to find out how we got here. Below is our background.

Background

Movement Arts was founded by Matthias Czabok 1992 in Nürnberg Germany as a full service marketing and advertising agency. Matthias had a racing background himself and raced motorcycle GP bikes as well as in junior open wheel classes such as Formula Renault in Germany and Europe.

In 1999 he made the decision to shift the focus of his agency and solely concentrate on programs in racing and within the motorsport industry. One of Movement Arts first motorsport related clients was German past Formula One driver Christian Danner, who became German's main TV live commentator for Formula One after he retired from full-time driving. Danner at the time was also a part owner in a US based Champcar program.

Danner's part ownership in such program was the initial reason for Movement Arts first involvement in a racing program in the US in 2000. After the 2000 season Matthias Czabok was offered to join a new Champcar program around Silicon Valley entrepreneur Larry Blair, which resulted in Matthias also becoming a minor owner in the team.

With the increased involvement in North American based racing programs, a decision was made in 2001 to relocate Movement Arts full-time to the United States. First with offices in Indianapolis and Chicago before relocation to the US east coast in Rhode Island. Working with championship-winning individuals, teams and organizations, Movement Arts has and is utilizing its extensive experience within the motorsport industry to produce winning results for its clients and partners.

In 2008 Movement Arts founder and owner Matthias Czabok joined championship winning IMSA WeatherTech prototype team JDC-Miller MotorSports as one of the teams key principals and oversees the team commercial activities as EVP Head of Corporate Development. He still is directly involved in the teams premier Sportscar Prototype program in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, running a pair of Cadillac Cadillac DPi-V.R prototypes. In addition the team also owns and operates a pair of WEC spec ORECA 07 LMP2's. Outside of the main prototype programs JDC-Miller MotorSports and JDC MotorSports run programs in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge TCR category and LMP3 prototypes in the IMSA Prototype Challenge Championship.
