Phoenix and Opel never won another DTM race until the end of 2005, when the manufacturer backed down.

For 2007 the team joined the Carsport team Holland Toine Hezemans to form Phoenix Carsport . Deletraz and Mike Hezemans finished in third place in the Corvette C6 racing standings. In 2008, Hezemans and Fabrizio Gollin finished as runners-up for the team. In 2009, Carsport re-run their team with Peka Racing, but Phoenix and Carsport will again partner with each other in 2010 for the first season of the FIA ​​GT1 World Championship.
Phoenix Racing became the Audi Sport support team in 2009, competing in the Blancpain Endurance Series and 24 Hours NÃÆ'¼rburgring with the Audi R8 GT3 LMS.
