LAG represents Latvian Australian German, the shared heritage of our four founding members Akims Vilims, Shaun Dekker and Ben Hornung.

Born from late night hill runs, early morning coffee meets and countless hours in garages, LAG was never just about the cars, it was about the people who lived for them. The streetlights became our start line, the roundabouts our checkpoints and the road our language.

Our passion for motorsport and the culture that surrounds it drives everything we create. What started as a small circle of friends with a shared obsession has evolved into something greater, a movement built on loyalty, creativity and respect for the craft.

LAG Motorsports is not just a brand or a team, it is a commitment to grow the automotive community, support the motorsport scene and build the foundation for what comes next.

This is our story, our heritage, and our blueprint for the future.

May 2025 – Rally Sprint Debut

In May 2025, Akim Vilims and Ben Hornung competed in their first rally sprints behind the wheel of the 2016 BMW 125i, tuned by Navardi. The event marked a major milestone for the team, showcasing the beginning of LAG Motorsports’ journey into competitive rallying. The BMW is currently being purpose built for future Tarmac Rally events, serving as both a proving ground and a symbol of the team’s commitment to performance, precision, and progress.

Akims Vilims - Driver

Carrying Latvian heritage and a deep European influence, Akim lives for adrenaline. From the rally stages to the world of Formula 1, his passion for performance fuels everything behind the wheel and beyond.

As the team’s driver for tarmac rally, Akims represents control, instinct, and commitment. Away from racing, he manages the financial and developmental vision of LAG Motorsports, helping shape the path that drives the brand forward.

Shaun Dekker - Drift Driver

Shaun lives and breathes motorsport, from the virtual world of sim racing to the roar of his real-life builds. Behind the wheel of his slammed Toyota Corolla or his ongoing Lexus IS200 project, he’s always chasing the perfect slide and testing the limits of control.

Known among the team as the professional cone collector, Shaun brings energy, creativity, and a fearless attitude that captures the true spirit of LAG Motorsports.

Ben Hornung - Co Driver

With German heritage and a strong European background, Ben brings precision and discipline to everything he does. A lifelong motorsport enthusiast with a passion for Formula 1 and a soft spot for McLaren, he embodies the analytical side of LAG Motorsports.

Beyond the co driver seat, Ben helps steer the operational and creative direction of the brand, guiding presentation, strategy, and growth alongside Shaun and Akims as LAG moves into its next stages.

Track Session – Collie Motorplex

Shaun took the BMW 125i to Collie Motorplex, a short track circuit set in the coal mining town of Collie in Perth’s southwest. The session captured the spirit of friendly competition and precision driving as Shaun pushed the car through each corner, overtaking our good friend Blayde in his Toyota MR2. It was a day that reflected everything LAG Motorsports stands for, passion, performance, and the drive to keep improving with every lap.
