🏳️ Bejamin Albers

Benjamin Albers is a club-level driver competing in his first recorded racing season. His Racer Rating of 1,379 places him in the developing category; he is a newcomer to competitive motorsport with minimal experience to date. Across three starts in the 2026 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, he has finished on the podium in all three races, averaging a second-place finish. His early results have included victories over drivers considerably more experienced than himself; he has beaten Jamie Green, a former champion of the 2004 Formula 3 Euro Series and an established professional, as well as Harry King, an FIA Gold graded driver at the professional level. He also finished ahead of both Ranko Mijatovic and Max van der Snel, the former a two-time champion of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and graded FIA Silver.[1]

The calibre of these individual results suggests that Albers's strong early showings have come against a meaningful field. However, with only three races on record, all in the same series and all with Adrenalin Motorsport Team Mainhattan Wheels, there is insufficient data to establish whether his podium finishes reflect genuine competitive ability or result from the strengths of his team. The team itself has accumulated 90 wins across its wider history and has fielded drivers ranging to the established professional level, notably Tim Tramnitz at a rating of 5,621. Albers' development beyond this opening season will determine whether his three strong finishes prove a pattern or an isolated run.
