🇩🇪 Alexander Mies

Alexander Mies is an entry-level professional who raced shared-car endurance racing in national German championships. He drove for Bonk Motorsport and GIGASPEED Team GetSpeed, piloting Porsche Cup cars and BMW racers in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie over eleven seasons, and competed in the Nürburgring 24 Hours. He held an FIA Silver grade, which places him below the full-professional Platinum and Gold ranks but establishes him within the endurance racing hierarchy.[1]

Across 62 starts, Mies took 20 wins and 33 podiums. He won the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in consecutive years: 2016 with Bonk Motorsport in a BMW, and 2017 with GIGASPEED in a Porsche. His record in the Nürburgring 24 Hours, endurance racing's premier event, included one win from four starts and two additional podiums. Most of his racing fell within the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, where he scored 19 wins across 58 starts, a sustained record of speed within that series' multiclass field that ran amateurs and semi-professionals alongside graded professionals.[2]

The company he kept regularly was entry-level; he ran closely matched against Thorsten Wolter and Heiko Eichenberg, both FIA Bronze drivers with extensive Nürburgring records. Against stronger opposition, he finished ahead of Dries Vanthoor, an established Platinum-graded professional and GT World Challenge Europe champion, and Jordan Pepper, a Gold-graded professional who raced in GT World Challenge Europe and IMSA. These were solitary instances rather than patterns, but Mies' sustained presence in a multiclass field that regularly fielded established professionals and his two consecutive national championships placed him among the more consistent operators at his level within German endurance racing.
