Benjamin Hirche is a club-level driver racing in American Endurance Racing, a multiclass endurance championship in which each car is shared by two or more drivers. He has competed in the series across six seasons from 2020 to 2025, primarily in Classes 1, 2 and 3, which all run production-based machinery in mixed fields spanning amateurs through to graded professionals.[1]
Hirche has taken one win and eight podiums across 21 starts. So far in the 2025 season he has recorded two podiums from two rounds raced and sits 35th in the championship standings. His results place him consistently in the middle tier of the field; he typically finishes behind regular opponents Phil Tupper, a competitive amateur with 23 American Endurance Racing starts, and Alexandru Vasilescu, an FIA Bronze entry-level professional who has raced the series 39 times and competed in European endurance racing as well. Hirche has beaten entry-level professionals Tyler Chambers and Stuart McAleer once each, though both drivers have more extensive records in other series and in American Endurance Racing itself.[2]
