Autoracing Club Bratislava, also known as ARC Bratislava, is an auto racing team based in Slovakia. The team is led by Miro Konôpka, who has been driving for the team since its inception. ARC Bratislava are currently known for competing in the Asian Le Mans Series and also the FIA World Endurance Championship, where they lasted for two seasons in the LMP2 Pro-Am class, joining the series in 2021.[2] The team has competed in various FIA, ACO or SRO-sanctioned championships throughout its existence, using various prototypes or GT cars.
ARC Bratislava also compete on the local scene, most notably in the ESET Cup Series (part of the FIA Central European Zone Championship), where Konôpka is a three-time overall champion.[3] As of 2024, the team has two full-time entries in the ESET Cup, with Miro Konôpka using the Ligier JS P320 and a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo, while Miro's younger son Adam competes exclusively with an older spec of the Huracán GT3. Adam also competes semi-regularly in another local, mostly amateur series called the Carbonia Cup with the same car.
ARC Bratislava have been active on the esports scene as well, competing in the Le Mans Virtual Series in both seasons of this championship between 2021 and 2023.[4]
