Goals for the future

24 Hours of Le Mans, Formula 1

Even as a little boy, I had the „Need for Speed“ in me and have been fascinated by motorsport ever since. This led me to start karting at the age of 7. Thanks to numerous successes in karting, I was invited by BMW to test a formula car for the first time shortly after my thirteenth birthday. With success!

In 2015, I then competed in the ADAC Formula 4 and had some heated duels with the two current Formula 1 stars Mick Schumacher and Lando Norris. At the end of the same year, I was also named „Driver of Promise“ by the McLaren Formula 1 team.

Unfortunately, the not insignificant financial aspects of motorsport slowed me down on my path towards Formula 1 and so I switched to touring car racing in 2016. I won my first race right away, which was also my debut on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.

After a very successful year, I moved into GT racing. I finished second in the 24-hour race in Dubai in 2017.

In 2018, I finished on the podium six times in the first eight races. I was even on course for the European Championship until 10 minutes before the end. Unfortunately, the consequential damage from a contact at the start prevented the coup and I had to settle for third place in the GT4 Central European Cup.

The following year, I returned to Dubai for the 24-hour race and switched to the traditional Porsche brand. Then came the global pandemic. Unfortunately, 2020 only saw small, national races.

Now I want to hit the ground running again in 2023 and chase the really big titles in international GT racing. Let's do it together.

My new brochure went to print today. In the brochure, you can find out about my history, successes and future plans, Your advantages as a sponsor in motorsport and why motorsport will continue to play an important role in the future.

Sponsoring

Sponsors and supporters wanted!

On The Road To Success

SPONSORS WANTED

Motorsport is an exclusive but also cost-intensive sport.

Unfortunately, talent is not the only thing that counts here.

If a young, talented driver doesn't have the money for the season, he has no chance here.

Where would Michael Schumacher or Sebastian Vettel be today if they had not received the appropriate support from mentors and sponsors?.

YOUR ADVANTAGES

As a sponsor, you benefit in several ways with the following advantages...

MY SPONSORS

NOW SPONSOR BECOME

Accompany me as a strong partner on my way to the top. The possibilities of sponsoring are manifold and can be realised according to your ideas.

FITNESS

MY TRAINING

The life of a future world champion naturally also includes physical fitness. Daily training is a must. The right diet is another building block for success. My personal coach supports me with the building blocks of fitness and nutrition.

Cardio training

Jogging, cycling and swimming are naturally part of my training plan.

Strength training

With the strength machines or with my own body weight - I really enjoy strength exercises.

Mental training

It allows me to improve my emotional, cognitive and physical skills. And a game of chess is also part of it.
