🏳️ Abdulaziz Al Faisal

Abdulaziz Al Faisal is a retired endurance racing driver who competed at established professional level in multiclass and single-class championships across Europe between 2013 and 2019. He raced GT3 and GTE cars for BLACK FALCON Mercedes-AMG and other teams, amassing 17 starts with one win and four podiums across the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, 24H Series, WEC and GT World Challenge Europe. His FIA Silver grading placed him among the developing professionals in endurance racing, below the Platinum and Gold grades that mark the category's full professionals.[1]

Al Faisal's record centred on the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, where he started ten times across 2013 to 2017 and took two podiums in the SP 9 GT3 class. His highest-profile success came in the 24H Series, a multiclass international endurance championship that draws amateurs alongside graded professionals; he won one of his three starts there and podiumed twice more between 2017 and 2019. He contested three WEC starts between 2014 and 2017, finishing 13th in the championship standings in 2017, and made a single GT World Challenge Europe appearance in 2019. His only indexed win came in the 24H Series in a shared-car entry for Black Falcon, a team fielding a roster that included Maro Engel, an established professional.[2]

Al Faisal raced regularly against Frank Stippler and Christopher Mies, both Platinum-graded professionals with deeper series experience and championship credentials; he was closely matched with each in head-to-head racing. He finished ahead of Edoardo Mortara, a Formula 3 Euro Series champion and long-term Formula E driver, and António Félix da Costa, a 2019 Formula E world champion and 2022 WEC LMP2 champion, though each of these instances occurred in single meetings rather than establishing a pattern. His career in endurance racing came during his rise through Saudi Arabia's motorsport landscape before moving into administrative roles.
