Funke finished third in the
German Touring Car Challenge in 1999 and 2000, and was runner-up in 2001. The championship became the DMSB Produktionswagen Meisterschaft in 2004, and Funke finished third for
Hotfiel Sport. Hotfiel moved to the new
World Touring Car Championship in 2005, and Funke was test and reserve driver. He replaced
Thomas Jäger for the final five rounds of the season, scoring a best finish of tenth position. Funke has since competed in
ADAC GT Masters. ==Racing record==
