🇨🇭 Benedikt Frei

Benedikt Frei, a Swiss driver, compiled a modest record across 11 seasons of endurance racing at the Nürburgring between 2010 and 2022. His rating of 785 places him in the developing amateur ranks; this was a club-level racer competing in regional endurance fields rather than a professional driver. Across 25 starts, he scored one win in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and two podium finishes, with an average result of eighth place.[1]

Frei's competitive context shows he was consistently outpaced by the drivers around him. Against his most frequent rivals, he managed only scattered successes; he finished ahead of Yannick Fübrich once in seven shared races, but lost the head-to-head against every other regular opponent by margins of six to seven races. His most notable results came as isolated performances rather than patterns: he beat Eric Curran, an established professional with a 5,311 rating, once, and finished ahead of Maximilian Buhk and Janine Hill in single races each. These outlier results stand against a general picture of consistently finishing behind semi-professional and professional-ranked drivers who raced at the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie.

Frei's primary equipment was the MKR-Engineering BMW M235i, which he drove in seven of his races. The team itself was not a winning outfit across the index, and his single career victory came while racing for W&S Motorsport. His last recorded appearance was the 2022 Nürburgring 24 Hours, after which he retired from racing.
