My Journey

From EuroNASCAR Success to the McLaren Cockpit

I'm racing in the McLaren Trophy in 2026

I'm very excited to announce an important step in my motorsport career. After several successful years in the EuroNASCAR series, I will be competing in the 2026 McLaren Trophy season for Team TARGET.

This opportunity means a great deal to me and marks a new chapter on my path in international motorsport.

How It All Began

A few years ago, motorsport expert and journalist Wolfgang Koepp gave me the opportunity to test a EuroNASCAR car for the first time. This test took place as part of an official programme in France and became a defining moment in my career.

This chance opened the door to the EuroNASCAR series, where I was able to develop as a driver and prove myself at international level.

In the years that followed, I worked hard and improved step by step. I achieved wins and multiple podium finishes along with many strong results. The highlight of my career so far was the 2024 season, when I became Vice European Champion in EuroNASCAR Open and simultaneously won the European Championship in EuroNASCAR Team Endurance.

The Next Step – Testing with McLaren

At the end of 2025, we started thinking about what the next step in my career could look like. Together with Wolfgang Koepp, we decided to test my talent in international GT racing as well.

In early February 2026, I got the opportunity to test a McLaren GT race car for the first time at the Circuito de Navarra in Spain. From the very first laps, I felt very comfortable in the car and was able to deliver consistently fast lap times.

After this test, I received another invitation from McLaren.

Strong Test at Monza

In early March 2026, I had the chance to participate in another test as part of the McLaren Evo Trophy at the legendary Autodromo Nazionale Monza.

On this iconic high-speed circuit, I was able to quickly adapt to the car and show consistent pace over multiple stints.

Shortly after, incredible news followed: I signed a contract with McLaren Team TARGET for the 2026 McLaren Trophy season.

A New Chapter in My Career

Joining the McLaren Trophy is a major step forward for me. After my years in formula racing and EuroNASCAR, a new chapter in international GT racing now begins.

This opportunity motivates me enormously to keep working hard, to develop further as a driver, and to compete at the highest level.

Together with McLaren and Team TARGET, I want to continue building my professional motorsport career.

The 2026 season will be an exciting new chapter – and I can't wait to get on track.

Strong Debut at Monza – McLaren Academy Race Weekend

My first race weekend as a member of the McLaren Academy is in the books – and it was a very positive experience. Despite missing the Monza tests three weeks prior, I was able to compete on equal terms against a very strong and experienced field. In both races, I delivered a top performance and received praise from all sides. The McLaren Artura is the best car I've ever driven, and the collaboration with Team TARGET and my race engineer Matteo is excellent. Thanks to my sponsors and management for making this possible. Next stop: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps at the end of June!
