In 1999, Bernd Mayländer drove for the team and took fourth place overall in the Porsche Carrera Cup. In 2000, however, the drivers Erik Schwarz, Heinz-Bert Wolters and Jochen Land did not achieve top rankings. In 2001, Jochen Land, Heinz-Bert Wolters and Tim Bergmeister started for the team. Tim Bergmeister contested a full season for Land Motorsport in 2002. In 2003, Christian Land and Roland Asch were behind the wheel. Asch finished second in the last race at the Hockenheimring and then ended his career.
In addition, Land Motorsport also took part in the 24-hour race at Spa-Francorchamps and achieved class wins in 2001 and 2003.
In 2004, Land Motorsport started working with Bilstein to develop motorsport dampers. The team fielded Porsche 996 GT3-RSR in the BFGoodrich Endurance Championship and quickly became one of the strongest teams in the field. The first victory came in the fifth race. In 2007, Land Motorsport came closer than ever to victory at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. However, a few hours before the end, Marc Basseng collided with the leading Manthey Porsche and lost about 18 minutes due to repair work. In the end, the team around Marc Basseng, Marc Hennerici, Dirk Adorf and Frank Stippler managedstill a podium finish in third place behind the Manthey Porsche and the Zakspeed Viper. In 2008 the new Porsche 997 GT3-RSR was used. After five years of cooperation, Bilstein ended the project in early 2009. Overall, the Bilstein Porsche won 19 rounds of the long-distance championship. The last time it was used was in the 24-hour race in Dubai, which the Bilstein Porsche was unable to finish. However, the second Land Porsche managed to win.
At the 24-hour race on the Nürburgring in 2017, the team of Markus Winkelhock, Christopher Mies, Kelvin van der Linde and Connor De Phillippi achieved their first overall victory with the Audi R8 LMS GT3 and a class win in the GTD class at the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.
