FROM ROOKIE STRAIGHT TO PODIUM
In 2024 I’ve taken my first step into the real-world motorsport, and right from the start I was able to show what I’m capable of and what a complete racing driver I already am.
In the BMW 318ti Cup, the world’s biggest one-make racing series and talent platform. As a 20-year-old rookie and junior without any experience or preparation, I was able to impress straight away in my first racing season in 2024 and deliver top results. After just 4 race weekends (DMV Goodyear Racing Days), I had already scored 4 podium finishes – including a start-to-finish victorY AND A UNIQUE ROOKIE-RECORD.
And that against up to 60 mostly experienced drivers per race – on tracks that were new to me, in a car I had never driven before. See GraPHIC .

In the long history of the BMW 318ti Cup, no driver before me has ever managed to achieve an overall victory in a race during his rookie season.
mY Way INto the COCKPIT
As a child, I was a passionate
kart racer and spent many thousands of laps behind the wheel. I have also been active as a competitive
tennis player since childhood, with over 500 tournament matches to date. At the same time, I have developed into one of the most successful
SIM-Racer through my many thousands of hours in the race simulator and hundreds of very demanding online races - including as three-time iRacing Overall-CHAMPION (LMDh/GTP) in a row in 2023 and currently IVRA-Team-CHAMPION (GTP) in 2025.
Diese Kombination aus frühem Kartsport, aktivem Leistungssport und Renn-Simulation hat das starke Fundament für mich als kompletten Rennfahrer gebildet. Sie ermöglicht es mir heute, auch auf realen Rennstrecken Höchstleistungen abzuliefern.
What others miss, makes me fasterMany established racing drivers who did not grow up with race simulator and SIM-racing like me find it difficult in the virtual world. They lack the physical feedback of the real car - noises, g-forces, vibrations. They are used to relying on all this information - if this is lost, they lack orientation.
For me, it's exactly the opposite: I learned to race mainly in the SIM - in a world where you have to make do with less information. But you have to be all the more precise, disciplined and technically perfect. And that's why it's all the easier for me in the real cockpit: the additional impressions from the real-world races only make me better.

Competitive sport: My BOOSTER for real-WORLD RACINGAnd unlike many SIM-racers, who often reach their physical limits in a real cockpit, I'm also well prepared physically. I've played tennis competitively and on high-level since my early childhood, I work as a DTB-B performance tennis coach and have also been doing targeted athletic training for many years. This long-standing mental and physical conditioning has prepared me perfectly for the high demands of real motorsport. I bring the driving skills from karting, SIM racing and real-world racing - and the important fitness and strength that only top-level sport can deliver.
WHAT SETS ME APART AS A DRIVER
These are qualities and strengths that are both inherent in me and shaped through many years of highly demanding conditioning and sports competition since my early childhood. It is this unshakable MINDSET that defines me as a race driver today – and will make me even stronger in the future.
THE BIGGER PICTUREI always drive VERY FAST, CONSISTENT, SAFE and gentle on the car. I take on every challenge – driven by great ambition, determination, and an uncompromising will to win.
No matter how high the pressure, expectations, or demands: I never lose my CALM, never lose PATIENCE - and never my nerves. I always keep a CLEAR HEAD.
And I also keep the bigger picture in mind trusting my sharp INTUITION. I ANTICIPATE the decisive moment, feel the situation, the car, the track – and am already on the next move while others are still reacting.
AN OPEN BOOKI read a race like an open book: driving strategically, thinking ahead, and thinking for others. I pay attention to all the small and big moments that can shape the dynamics and the outcome of a race.
New track, new car, new setup, barely any test time? Changing conditions? With minimal preparation, high FLEXIBILITY and lightning-fast ADAPTATION, I deliver from the very first moment – constantly at a high level.

MY GREAT LOVE
I feel connected to a higher force that equipped me with everything it takes to race at the very front. I’m doing what I was meant to do. I want to go where I truly belong.
When I step into a race car, I become one with it – a precision machine with a soul. Controlled adrenaline runs through my veins, and in my heart burns a guided fire that knows only one love: motorsport. And only one goal: veni, vidi, vici.

I offer my full potential as a race driver – not for money, but for those who truly honour motorsport – just like I do: with love, passion, ambition, and the hunger to win at a higher level. In return for the opportunity to prove myself – and to show what I’m capable of, in front of those who know the difference.
WHAT´S NEXT ?
In 2025 I´m making the most of the opportunity to race on the most legendary and demanding racetrack in the world: the Nürburgring
NORDSCHLEIFE. It’s not just nearby – it means very much to me. And it is one of my favorite race tracks. Mastering it as a real-world racer (not in the SIM only) has always been a major goal. So far, I haven't had the opportunity to drive there in real life.
ROOKIE IN THE "GREEN HELL"So what could be more natural than committing to the Nordschleife via the official RCN (Rundstrecken-Challenge Nürburgring) – and earning my Nordschleife Permit-B along the way?
Much like on the other tracks I’ve driven so far, I was quickly up to speed here too – with consistently strong lap times, at the limit of what the car could do. - Ready for more!

NLS PREMIERE WITH GT4
In 2025 I also entered the NLS (Nürburgring Endurance Series). For a rookie, in a GT4 race car for the very first time and instantly in a highly demanding race on the Nordschleife, world’s toughest racetrack, where I had only driven three times in total before, it was a debut with signal effect.
“GREEN HELL” ,ONE STEP HIGHERDuring free practice on TEST DAY before the race, I quickly adapted to this race car, which was completely new to me and the most powerful I had ever driven and was already running at high pace, delivering quite impressive lap times on the Nordschleife - consistently and safely. The same on RACE DAY – in qualifying and in the race.
