Axel Friedhoff is a semi-professional endurance racing driver who competed in multiclass racing at Germany's Nürburgring across multiple series. Over nine seasons between 2013 and 2022, Friedhoff raced in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, sharing Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport cars in the Cup 3 class alongside modified production-based machinery in SP 3, and made one appearance in the Nürburgring 24 Hours. His primary drive was with Car #654.[1]
Friedhoff won three races and took 19 podiums from 42 starts across his indexed record. He held the 2016 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie championship, a title won in the club racing context typical of the Nürburgring's domestic series. His racing took place in fields mixing amateur drivers with graded professionals, where the shared-car format meant co-drivers' performances shaped each car's finishing position as much as his own.[2]
Among his regular opponents were two entry-level professionals graded as FIA Bronze: Thorsten Jung, who won the Cup 3 class in 2020, and Kai Riemer, the 2022 Cup 3 champion with more than double Friedhoff's Langstrecken-Serie starts. Friedhoff was closely matched with Jung but typically finished behind Riemer. He finished ahead of established professionals including Hendrik Von Danwitz, a FIA Silver-graded driver he beat on three occasions across their meetings.
