961 Motorsport: Forged in Passion, Proven on the Track

Founded by competitive driver Sam Maghmoumi, 961 Motorsport is the culmination of a lifelong obsession with automotive performance. With roots in Lebanon—the inspiration for the '961' name—Sam's journey began with a passion for drifting and a relentless drive to build and perfect high-performance machines.

What started as a personal quest for on-track excellence has evolved into a professional mission: to provide that same level of motorsport-grade expertise and meticulous care to discerning vehicle owners across Southern California.
