About PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports
PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports is a premier American racing outfit based in Fresno, California, born from the fusion of two storied open-wheel teams—PR1 and Mathiasen Motorsports. Since 2010, the team has competed full-time in top-tier endurance racing, transitioning from American Le Mans Series LMPC to LMP2 class in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Our Story
Bobby and Lisa Oergel began their motorsport journey in 1997 with a karting team. Over the years, their passion and determination propelled them into open-wheel racing, where they achieved multiple championships in the Pacific F2000 and USF2000 Championship series.
In 2008, the team transitioned into sports car racing, laying the groundwork for what would become a new era of success. Two years later, in 2010, PR1 joined forces with Mathiasen Motorsports, marking the official beginning of PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports—a collaboration that has since defined the team as one of the most consistent and competitive forces in endurance racing.
