THE CRADLE OF MY MOTORSPORT PASSION

I started training continuously as a race car driver when I was just 4 years old - on what was back then still a very basic PC racing simulator. It wasn’t just for fun; I immediately had high standards for vehicle control and realistic driving physics (all manual, without traction control or ABS). "GTR2" and "rFactor" were my first virtual SIM-racing platforms.

My father used to say that my settings back then made driving feel like driving on slippery soap. In any case, it was an early introduction to aggressive setups and maximum vehicle control.

KARTING

Starting at age 7, I entered an intense period in karting. I logged many thousands of laps in my race karts

- CRG (Bambini),
- Tony Kart (Bambini)
- Maranello (Rotax Max Junior)

on well-known race tracks, following in the footsteps of my idols at the time, Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel. I started right around the time Sebastian was dominating Formula 1 and had just clinched his second of a total of four world championship titles.

THE FIRST REAL Grip

Here, I was able to build seamlessly on my racing simulator experience. While training - often alongside drivers from official kart races - I learned early on how to handle extreme physical forces, such as those experienced in corners and when braking, and developed not only a “butt meter” but also a deep understanding of ideal lines and corner apexes, as well as the machine, mechanics, tires, and tracks - and I honed my “instincts” significantly. This is something I’ve fully internalized and that has had a profound impact on me.

I relentlessly chased the lap record on every track and showed early signs of exceptional motorsports talent.

The intensive karting and the valuable experience I gained from it had a huge impact on me. Together with driving in the racing simulator, it laid an early foundation for everything that was to follow in motorsports.

The high performance expectations, the absolute focus on aggressive competition and the demanding tennis and athletic training have conditioned me intensely, both psychologically and physically.

According to the former head coach of the Hessian Tennis Association, I am the ultimate competitor: highly focused, fiercely offensive in mindset, innerly balanced, completely fearless, highly resilient in mind and body, deeply ambitious, and absolutely determined to win - all of which are the exact qualities that also make up a good part of what it takes to be a high-performance racing driver.

PERFORMANCE TENNIS

In addition to karting, and thanks to another extraordinary talent, thousands of hours of rigorous tennis and athletic training have shaped me from my earliest childhood to the present day. I have been intensely involved in competitive tennis (with the original goal of becoming a professional player) and have played nearly 600 tournament matches to date. - In 2019, the vice president of the German Tennis Federation (DTB), a former top ATP-coach, said of me - a 15-year-old squad player - at the Hessian Tennis Performance Center that I was the only one with the potential to make a career in tennis.

But tennis has changed a lot since 2020. Deliberately slower, heavier, and less durable balls, along with significantly slower court surfaces all over the world, have made it very difficult for my very fast and offensively oriented playing style. For that reason alone, tennis is no longer a major life goal for me to pursue.

- Competitive tennis since the age of 6
- District performance squad player in TBF (Frankfurt Tennis District)
- State performance squad player in HTV (Hessen Tennis Association)
- Top 100 junior in Germany for many years
- Top 10 junior in Hessen for many years
- On DTB men's ranking list since the age of 16
- Tournament player (best ranking: 02/2025 – DTB 281 / LK 1.5)
- Hessen League player
- DTB B performance coach (and thus less time for tournaments)

THOUSANDS OF HOURS

> THOUSANDS OF HOURS

Thanks to the many challenging and fiercely contested online races on iRacing, driving under high pressure, and my numerous victories against strong opponents, I was able to prove my potential in real-world motorsports.

In 2023, I became three-time consecutive OVERALL CHAMPION (Hypercar) in the top divisions of several official multiclass racing series on the very challenging iRacing platform (where many well-known professional racers also compete; I had the opportunity to get to know two of them better - see DRIVERS' VOICES further down on the website).

First proof of my CALIBER

Over the years, I’ve also been able to consistently and successfully translate this intensive training and conditioning into the demanding world of virtual motorsports. SIM-RACING: most recently in Assetto Corsa and iRacing. Here, too, I was able to put my driving skills into practice over thousands of hours of training and hundreds of international races. Especially starting in 2022 on iRacing - which I had recently joined - I was able to further perfect my racecraft while competing for podium finishes and victories.

In 2023, I became three-time consecutive OVERALL CHAMPION (Hypercar) in the top divisions of three official multiclass racing series, each lasting 3 months, on the very challenging iRacing platform (where many well-known professional racers also compete; I had the opportunity to get to know two of them better - see DRIVERS' VOICES further down on the website).

Thanks to the many challenging and fiercely contested online races, driving under high pressure, and my numerous victories against strong opponents, I was able to prove my potential in real-world motorsports as well.

TRIUMPH IN SPA - FROM P9 TO P1

In the spring of 2024, I celebrated a remarkable victory with Linus Stjernelund in the Cadillac Hypercar (GTP class) at the legendary iRACING IVRA "1000 km of Spa" race. For our team at that time, Fiercely Forward, this meant overall victory against top-class competition such as Mivano and BS+Competition – after a strong driving and strategic performance over the seven-hour race distance.
‍
I took over key phases of the race, including the start and final stints, and drove us from P11 on the starting grid to the very front – ultimately securing a well-deserved OVERALL VICTORY (P1).

A STRONG TEAM - A STRONG RESULTAT

I've been part of the top Italian SIM-Racing team MIVANO since the beginning of 2025. In the IVRA endurance series, the team was able to secure the CHAMPIONSHIP title in the GTP class in 2025 - despite disadvantageous balance-of-performance adjustments to the ACURA Hypercar over the season. A strong team, a strong season - and I am proud to have contributed to this MIVANO success once again.

Back in 2024, I had already played a key indirect role in helping MIVANO win the title: My victory at Spa (see above) cost their biggest rival crucial points – which ultimately made the difference in the season finale.

My race record for my 241 races (early 2022 through early 2024) on iRacing

SIM RANKING

My iRating reached a peak of 7,564 for the first time in January 2024—after just 241 races. It took me just 110 races to jump from 3,000 to over 7,000 rating points. By early 2024, I had achieved my best racing record to date: 66% pole positions, 73% wins, and 93% top-5 finishes in the races I’d completed.

By mid-2024, I had made the transition to real-world motorsports. Since then, I’ve been racing less virtually - also due to my other professional commitments.

INSTINCT & MINDSET

> INSTINCT & MINDSET

MENTAL CONDITIONING

My love and passion for motorsports, as well as my unfailing intuition and deep-rooted empathy for race cars, power, and speed, have their roots in my earliest childhood.

Even before I could read, write, or think properly, I began to unconsciously absorb the mental shaping and influence of motorsports and, over time, internalize it as a completely natural part of who I am. This almost “genetic WINNING MINDSET” is deeply ingrained within me - firmly fused with my entire identity as a race car driver.

This deep, instinctive connection with the machine is something you can neither learn nor buy later in life. When I get into a race car now, I become one with it and transform into an intuitive, precision machine with only one goal: veni, vidi, vici.

CROSSOVER

All of this has been my very personal journey through various disciplines. The training sessions and competitions in motorsports and competitive sports - which began early in life and continue to this day - have benefited from one another and reinforced each other. They have literally become SECOND NATURE to me and have also helped me grow as a race car driver.

My baptism by fire as a race car driver and the first proof of my caliber came during my two very successful years on iRacing - the world’s toughest SIM-racing platform - especially in 2023.

In doing so, I also follow the philosophy of the four-time F1 world champion, karting world champion and world-renowned SIM-racer Max Verstappen, who regards demanding SIM-racing as the best school and accompaniment for competitive real-world motorsport.

My first step into real-world motorsports came in 2024 in the BMW 318ti Cup as part of the DMV GoodYear Racing Days, the world’s largest one-make cup and junior racing series. As a 20-year-old junior and rookie, I was able to carry my success from SIM-racing directly over to real tracks.

After that, I took on the next challenges: the RCN (Rundstrecken Challenge Nürburgring) and the NLS (Nürburgring Endurance Series)—heading into the “Green Hell,” the legendary and toughest racetrack in the world.

GERMANY

SEASON FINALE HOCKENHEIMRING 2026

GERMANY

SEASON FINALE AT THE HOCKENHEIMRING

2026

GT4 GERMANY Season Finale 2026. With sun and rain constantly alternating. Competing for the first time at the Hockenheimring as a rookie and junior.

From P14 to P7 within 2 laps after the start
To be honest, I could have imagined a better debut performance in the GT4 Germany racing series. Instead, we faced unpredictable and obstructive weather across all three days of the event (from qualifying to the final race). To make matters worse, incorrect settings on the car (ABS & setup) made it almost impossible to control properly for racing during the first race in dry conditions. Although I managed to charge from P14 up to P10 right after the start, I was subsequently swallowed up by the field and could do nothing more than just drive behind them.

A failure of the pit radio and a missing time display on the screen during the pit stop also hindered a better result in the second race. Nevertheless, my teammate and I still managed a podium finish in the Pro-Am Cup. To be frank, a podium would have easily been within reach in the other two races as well.
‍
Thanks to the great work of the technical team, I finally had a fully competitive car as the starting driver for the third race. In tricky, mixed track conditions, I staged a strong charge through the field, moving from P14 to P7 within just two laps of the start, with the momentum to move even further forward. At the beginning of the 5th lap on slicks, however, a boundary line on the otherwise dry racing line became my undoing - at a section of the track where, unlike other parts, no new rain had started yet (see video below). Even after sliding off the track, the car remained virtually undamaged (just a small dent in the rear apron) but got stuck deep in the gravel. Unfortunately, despite a quick recovery, the race control prohibited continuing.

GT4-GERMANY Saisonfinale 2026. Mit Sonne und Regen - stets abwechselnd. Als Rookie und Junior das erste Mal dabei auf dem Hockenheimring.

Falsche Einstellungen am Rennauto (Bremsen & Setup) zerstörten allerdings mein Debüt-Rennen. Funkausfall und fehlende Zeitanzeige auf dem Display behinderten auch das 2. Rennen in der Box - trotzdem noch Podium im Pro-Am-Cup.

Im 3. Rennen dann ein wettbewerbsfähiges Auto, mit dem ich auch etwas anfangen konnte - nur eben weiter Mischbedingungen auf der Strecke! Innerhalb von 2 Runden nach dem Start von P14 auf P7 vorgefahren, mit der Tendenz weiter nach vorne zu kommen. Dann aber Anfang der 5. Runde auf Slicks von der Strecke gerutscht - aus dem nichts und an einer Stelle, wo noch kein neuer Regen eingesetzt hatte. Auto kaum beschädigt (kleine Delle in der Heckschürze), aber im Kies steckengeblieben. Rennleitung erlaubte kein Weiterfahren nach Befreiung aus dem Kies.

> MORE INFO ABOUT THE RACE WEEKEND

( IN PROGRESS )

2026, im Vorfeld der NLS 6 Rennveranstaltung stand für mich als einziger Punkt ein Testen am Freitag auf der Nürburgring GP Strecke an. Das Arbeitsgerät: ein Porsche Cayman GT4 RS CS.

HOT STINTS

Was als ein gewöhnlicher Testlauf gedacht war, um meine Skills und mein Speed zu demonstrieren, entpuppte sich dank der vor Ort herrschenden und so von mir nicht erwarteten Rahmenbedingungen schnell zu einer intensiven Challenge ganz anderer Art: Hochsommerliche Hitze im Frühling (bis zu 35 Grad im Schatten und tendierend zu 50 Grad auf dem Asphalt im Laufe der Stints) und Reifensätze mit hoher Laufleistung (frische Slicks waren mangels eigenen Sponsorenbudgets an diesem selbstfinanzierten Testtag leider keine Option).

Hinzu kam ein deutlich spitzes Setup, eigentlich auch mein Wunsch, denn ich komme viel besser mit einer losen Hinterachse klar, als gegen ein Untersteuern anzukämpfen. Wie extrem sich dieses kompromisslose Setup jedoch in der Addition mit dem alten (heat-cycled) Gummi und den überraschend hohen Streckentemperaturen an diesem Testtag auswirken würde, erlebte ich dann auf dem heißen Asphalt.

PUSHING TO THE LIMITS

Wer den Motorsport kennt, weiß genau: So ist das keine Kombination für tolle Rundenrekorde, sondern vor allem ein knallharter Test für außergewöhnliche Reflexe und hohe Fahrzeugbeherrschung, wollte man ans Limit gehen (und was macht man denn sonst, wenn man zeigen will, was man draufhat?). Letztlich entpuppte sich das alles als eine durchaus willkommene Option – denn die absolute Kontrolle über ein unruhiges Auto gepaart mit schnellen Runden unter solchen Bedingungen sagt am Ende weit mehr über die wahre Substanz und Klasse eines Rennfahrers aus als jede bloß schnelle Qualifying-Runde bei optimalen Bedingungen.

Das durch das pointy Setup ohnehin schon sehr nervöse Heck des Porsche bei steigenden Temperaturen, schmierenden Reifen und ständig sinkendem Grip-Niveau in jeder Runde konstant am physikalischen Limit zu bewegen, war ein echter Ritt auf der Rasierklinge und bedeutete sehr anspruchsvolle Arbeit am Lenkrad. Aber genau das kenne ich aus dem virtuellen und inzwischen auch realen Motorsport – und mir macht es sogar richtig Spaß, wenn ich fahrerisch derart gefordert werde.

DAS AUTO

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS Competition, 4,0 l Sechszylinder - Porsche 911 GT3 Motor mit 500 PS als Mittelmotor - heute 425 PS (BoP), 7-Gang PDK-Getriebe mit Schaltwippen, KW Cup Rennsportfahrwerk, Sperrdifferential, 250er und 270er Michelin-Slicks, Überrollkäfig, Rennsitz mit 3-Punkt Renngurten, autom. Feuerlöschanlage, Leergewicht 1350 kg

MISSION ERFÜLLT

Ich verbuche den Test als vollen Erfolg, denn ich habe gezeigt, was unter diesen Umständen maximal möglich war: dass ich das Auto jederzeit am Limit bewegen, perfekt kontrollieren und schnelle Rundenzeiten abliefern kann. Die schnellste sogar im allerletzten Stint bei größter Hitze am frühen Nachmittag. Meine Leistung ist eigentlich noch höher zu bewerten, wenn man bedenkt, dass ich diese direkt aus dem Stand geschafft habe. Mein erster und letzter Einsatz in einem GT4-Rennwagen - das NLS 6 Rennen in 2025 - lag bereits 10 Monate zurück.

Ein echtes Highlight war auch die Begegnung mit Team-Fahrer Hendrik Still. Die extrem offene Zusammenarbeit und unsere umfassende Telemetrie-Analyse war von unschätzbarem Wert. Hendrik zeigte sich recht beeindruckt davon, dass ich bei meinem erst zweiten GT4-Einsatz überhaupt – und nach einer derart langen Pause – eine solche Performance abrufen konnte. Bereits meine wenigen Anpassungen nach der Analyse und Hendriks Tipps zum optimalen Umgang mit Reifen mit hoher Laufleistung bei Hitze brachten im letzten Stint über eine Sek. Gewinn bei der Rundenzeit. Welches Potential in mir steckt, lässt sich da unschwer erkennen.

Ebenso interessant war der rege Austausch mit Team-Fahrer Tim Horrell, der auch sehr erstaunt war über meine schnellen Rundenzeiten (insbesondere in meinem letzten Stint) an diesem Tag in seinem Auto. Mit ihm die gemeinsame Rennleidenschaft zu teilen und auf Augenhöhe zu kommunizieren, war eine wertvolle Erfahrung. Ein beeindruckender Mensch und Racer. Weiterhin viel Erfolg, Tim!

DANKE, W&S MOTORSPORT

Teamchef Daniel Schellhaas und die gesamte Crew von W&S Motorsport sorgten für eine vorbildliche Betreuung vor Ort. Es ist beeindruckend zu sehen, mit welcher Präzision und Professionalität dieses Team arbeitet. Wer hier fährt, spürt sofort, warum man mit dieser Mannschaft Meisterschaften gewinnt.

Test day at the Nürburgring. Midsummer heat on a spring day in June. Up to 35 degrees (C) in the shade and tending towards 50 degrees (C) on the track. Old slicks, hot asphalt, and a pointy setup. - Performance right out of the box, after a 10-month break and on only my second time in a real GT4 race car.

(Hot Lap in the afternoon - 2026)

> MORE INFO ON THE TEST DAY

In 2026, leading up to the NLS 6 race event, my only item on the agenda was a test session on Friday on the Nürburgring GP circuit. The car: a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS CS

HOT STINTS

What was meant to be a routine test run to showcase my skills and speed quickly turned into an entirely different kind of intense challenge, thanks to unexpected track conditions on-site: midsummer heat in the spring (up to 35°C in the shade and tending towards 50°C on the track as the stints progressed) and high-mileage tires (fresh slicks were unfortunately out of the question on this self-funded test day due to a lack of sponsorship budget).

Added to this was a pointy setup, which was actually what I wantedbecause I get along much better with a loose rear axle than I do fighting understeer. Exactly how extreme the combined impact of this uncompromising setup, the old (heat-cycled) rubber, and the surprisingly high track temperatures would be on that test day is something I ultimately experienced firsthand out on the hot asphalt.

PUSHING TO THE LIMITS

Anyone familiar with motorsport knows full well: this is not a combination for smashing lap records, but rather a brutal test of exceptional reflexes and supreme car control if you want to push to the limit (and what else do you do when you're showcasing what you're made of?). Ultimately, it all turned out to be a thoroughly welcome challenge - because maintaining absolute control over a twitchy car paired with fast laps under these conditions says far more about a driver's true substance and class than any merely fast qualifying lap in optimal conditions.

Constantly pushing the Porsche's rear end - which was already very nervous due to the pointy setup - right to the physical limit on every lap amidst rising temperatures, greasing tires, and a constantly dropping grip level was driving on a knife-edge and meant intensely demanding work at the steering wheel. But that is precisely what I know all too well from virtual and, more recently, real-world motorsport - and I genuinely enjoy being challenged like that behind the wheel.“

THE MACHINE

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS CS Competition, 4.0-liter six-cylinder - Porsche 911 GT3 engine with 500 HP as a mid-engine - currently 425 HP (BoP), 7-speed PDK transmission with paddle shifters, KW Cup racing suspension, limited-slip differential, 250 and 270 Michelin slicks, roll cage, racing seat with 3-point racing harnesses, automatic fire suppression system, curb weight 1,350 kg

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

I consider this test a total success, because I showed exactly what was achievable under these conditions: that I can push the car to the limit at any time, keep it under perfect control, and consistently deliver fast lap times. My fastest lap even came in the final stint during the peak heat of the early afternoon! This performance is all the more remarkable considering that I achieved it right out of the box. My previous - and only prior - outing in a GT4 race car was the 6-hour NLS race 10 months ago.

Another true highlight was meeting team driver Hendrik Still. The extremely open collaboration and our comprehensive telemetry analysis were invaluable. Hendrik was quite impressed that - in only my second GT4 outing ever, and after that long break - I was able to deliver such a performance. Just a few minor adjustments based on the analysis and Hendrik's tips for dealing better with high-mileage tires in the heat gained me over a second per lap in my final stint. It’s easy to see the potential I possess.

Equally interesting was the lively exchange with team driver Tim Horrell, who was also quite surprised by my fast lap times (especially in my last stint) in his car that day. Sharing our mutual passion for racing and talking on equal terms was a truly valuable experience. An impressive person and racer. Continued success, Tim!

THANKS A LOT, W&S MOTORSPORT

Team principal Daniel Schellhaas and the entire crew at W&S Motorsport provided exemplary support on-site. It is impressive to see the precision and professionalism with which this team operates. Anyone who drives here instantly understands why you win championships with this squad!

> MORE INFO ON THIS NLS RACING WEEKEND

In 2025, I also stepped up to the NLS (Nürburgring Endurance Series) on the Nordschleife as a rookie – the logical next step after my previous three RCN races on the Nordschleife. For the very first time in a GT4 race car, I jumped straight into the action and drove my first NLS race in a Porsche Cayman GT4, as used in the NLS Cup 3 class of the Porsche Endurance Trophy, GT4 Germany, the GT4 European Series, and the Porsche Sports Cup

My NLS start in the first of three starting waves – racing with the top drivers of the race ...

QUICK ADAPTION

During free practice on the test day ahead of the 6-hour NLS 6 race, I adapted very quickly to a car that was both new to me and the most powerful I had ever driven. I was immediately able to run a strong pace right at the limit of the car and set impressive lap times. After the race, I was the second-fastest classified Porsche Cayman GT4 Permit B driver - ahead of me were only Robert de Haan and Alessio Ghiretti, both 2025 Porsche Supercup and Carrera Cup champions. They were clearly also in the field to secure their Nordschleife Permit A.

STRONG PERFORMANCE

My teammate Thorsten Lingnau (with whom I shared the car in the 6-hour race) and I could have actually won our class in the NLS with our performance that day. However, there were two significantly more powerful cars ahead of us. Since SP7 is a mixed class and the NLS doesn't have a dedicated Permit B class, we didn't get the result our performance truly deserved. Based on our pace and considering our engine power, we were the true winners of our class. But no matter – the race was a fantastic experience and a lot of fun.

Team driver Kim Berwanger is kindly introducing me to the Porsche Cayman GT4 CS, which is new to me.

THE MACHINE

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 CS Competition, 3.8-liter six-cylinder mid-engine with 425 HP, 6-speed PDK transmission with paddle shifters, KW Cup racing suspension, Porsche 911 GT3 R steering wheel, limited-slip differential, 250- and 270-series Michelin slicks, roll cage, racing seat with 3-point racing harnesses, automatic fire suppression system, curb weight 1,350 kg

THANKS A LOT, AsBEST RACING

In the end, I drove a total of 22 NLS laps (Nordschleife + GP short layout), or 550 km, over the two days in this wonderful race car. And the awesome AsBest team—especially team principal Alex and his son, the car chief—was exemplary in every way. That also goes for the other drivers on the team. I felt in great hands during both days of the NLS event (test day and race day)

(Free Practice)

> MORE INFO ON MY RCN appearances

In 2025, I stepped into the RCN (Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring) as a rookie – on the HARDEST AND MOST FASCINATING RACE TRACK IN THE WORLD: the Nürburgring NORDSCHLEIFE. Or: the Green Hell, as it is called by those who love and fear it in equal measure. This track demands everything from you – physically and mentally. And that is exactly what excites me. I don't just want to drive it – I want to understand it, master it, and read it more deeply with every lap.

ENTERING THE "GREEN HELL"

The Nordschleife is no stage for showboating. It takes guts out here, and it rewards those who work with focus, precision, and patience. My SIM-racing background made the track layout feel familiar early on and it allowed me to find my feet quickly even in the real "Green Hell".

In one or two laps, I was already fastest in class - but first and foremost, I was here to internalize the Nordschleife in its real-world form. Podiums weren't the goal, if only for technical reasons - but the pace was there. And: I didn't want to get my DMSB Permit Nordschleife (DPN) through a licensing course; I wanted to earn it on the track. Old-school. Anything else was out of the question for me.

THE MACHINE

BMW 325i, 2.5L 6-cylinder front-mounted engine with 210 HP, KW racing suspension, 235 Hankook slicks, sports exhaust, 25% limited-slip differential, short-throw quick-shift transmission, roll cage, racing seat with 3-point racing harnesses, automatic fire suppression system, curb weight approx. 1,050 kg

In the long history of the BMW 318ti Cup, no driver before me has ever managed to achieve an overall race victory during his rookie season.

> MORE INFO ON MY 318TI CUP appearances

2024 was the year I took the first step: On the recommendation of the DMSB (German Motor Sport Federation), I chose the BMW 318ti Cup - the largest single-make racing series in the world. The series is not only a proven stepping stone for ambitious young drivers, but also a real challenge for experienced racers. The fierce competition, the virtually identical cars, and the massive grid should make true driver talent instantly visible - and every success all the more meaningful.

TALENT OVER TECH

Having entered the race series a little later in the season with the uncompromising goal of competing as a solo driver, finding a suitable seat was exceptionally difficult as nearly all dedicated solo grid slots were already filled. This path required extreme flexibility, navigating team changes and adapting instantly to unfamiliar cars and setups.
‍
While the machinery at my disposal was not on par with several of the series' top-tier cars, preventing a complete showcase of my true potential, I successfully maximized the technical limits of every vehicle I drove. Looking at the results achieved under these circumstances, it is evident what I can accomplish when given the right platform to fight at the very front.

From debut straight to the podium

Following a brief one-hour (!) test at Circuit Zolder in late April, I made my real-world motorsport debut six weeks later, in early June at the legendary TT Circuit Assen. That first race weekend turned into somewhat of an unintended test session, as I had to run a very conservative standard setup that severely limited my driving potential. But from the very next race weekends onward -even while driving for different teams - things turned around and I was able to make my mark.

The final tally: 4 podium finishes across 4 race weekends, including 1 lights-to-flag victory and 1 Rookie Record. I achieved this in a highly competitive grid of up to 60 mostly experienced rivals per race - on tracks I had never driven before, and in cars that were completely new to me.

KLAUS PANCHYRZ - FREDERIK VESTI - JACK AITKEN

Back in 2022 , Klaus Panchyrz - Senior Instructor at the Nürburgring Driving Academy and a former professional factory racing driver - already identified me as an exceptional talent. As an 18-year-old rookie with zero previous experience, driving a real race car on a real track for the very first time, I completed a 2-day Formula 4 training program on the Nürburgring GP circuit, finishing significantly ahead as the best and fastest driver. After watching my laps via the onboard camera from the Race Control Room alongside his colleagues, Klaus was full of praise, stating the following about me in front of all the other participants:
"A natural-born racing driver. I rarely meet someone like him. A true joy to watch him and his superior driving skills."I was able to prove this further in SIM-racing in 2023, and have continued to back it up in real-world motorsport since 2024."

In 2023 and beyond, my time competing in SIM-racing on the iRacing platform led to a camaraderie with two top-tier professional drivers: Frederik Vesti (Formula 2 Vice-Champion, Mercedes F1 Reserve and IMSA Hypercar driver) and later Jack Aitken (DTM driver and IMSA/WEC Hypercar driver). I drove a lot of Formula and Hypercars with them, especially with Frederik, who at the time was actively fighting in his real-life 2023 Formula 2 season before ultimately securing the Vice-Championship.

The fact that I proved highly composed and commanding across various cars and tracks - consistently outpacing Frederik and Jack in both practice sessions and races - validated, in their expert assessment, that my exceptional talent and skill would also translate seamlessly to the real-world racetrack.

In 2025 during the DTM weekends at the Nürburgring and Hockenheimring, I was embedded directly with Jack Aitken inside the Emil Frey Racing garage. Having witnessed my potential firsthand, Jack identified me as a prime candidate for a professional shootout test with his team. Since Jack earned his own seat as a factory driver for Emil Frey Racing through the exact same shootout process, he knows exactly what it takes -and has absolute confidence in my ability to take this step.

Due to Jack’s exclusive move to the Hypercar class for the 2026 season, stepping away from DTM, this specific team-internal pathway is temporarily on hold, but the master plan remains unchanged. Securing a decisive shootout test of this caliber and further unleashing my performance in GT racing is now my absolute focus - and I am actively looking for the right partners to join me on this journey.

‍Safely to the limit & Optimal Training
SIM-racing with real driving physics is the most efficient tool before and alongside real-world motorsport. This is also the opinion of F1 World Champion and SIM-racer Max Verstappen. It offers you the ideal opportunity to build expertise and consistency, approach the limit safely, and feel real racing adrenaline - the perfect appetizer for the real track. Likewise, it is the best method to prepare yourself specifically for upcoming race entries as an active driver, or for trackdays as a private driver.
