Motorsports has a long tradition in my family. My grandfather used to compete in races. He participated in the Rallye Monte Carlo among others. My father was involved in motorsports for a long time as well. After his beginnings in karting he achieved success in Formula 3.

I started my career in motorsports at the MSC Geesthacht with slalom karting. My first bambini race was a major step and marked my debut on a circuit. After two years in the bambini class I contested the junior category (KF3) in the North German and German Kart Championship for another two years. At the end of my career in karting I contested the German Kart Championship and the ADAC Championship in 2009 as well as the senior category (KF2) in international races.

In 2010 I took the major step into car racing. The Formel ADAC is the perfect entry-level class for , and I trusted the professionalism of the successful KUG-Motorsport team and the ma-con Motorsport team. Following two successful years in Formula racing, I advanced to for Heico Motorsport in 2012.

I started my debut GT3 season with a podium place at the 24h Dubai and a victory at the season kick-off of the European Champi- onship. I finished the FIA GT3 European Championship as the youngest winner of the title ever, which was a spectacular success. At the season‘s finale of the 2013 ADAC GT Masters I was forced to retire early due to a technical fault, which cost me the title. However, since we secured the victory in both the legendary 24 Hours of Spa (youngest winner ever) and the 1,000km Nürburg- ring I won the title in the Blancpain Endurance Series. The ADAC Junior Motor Racer of the Year award is a positive end to a very successful season. I was also voted the fifth best GT driver in the world by the English media.

In only 18 months of touring car racing I won four international championships and scored two international titles. I am dedicated and ambitious. I am willing to learn new things and improve my skills. I consider myself a team player and know how to express myself. I would like to thank my sponsors and Polarweiss Schöner Wohnen in particular for their professional support.
