Bernhard Auinger was an established professional competing in single-seater open-wheel racing. In 2003, his only indexed season, he drove for Superfund TME in the Formula 3 Euro Series and for Red Bull Junior Team F3000 in the International Formula 3000, contesting 14 starts across both championships.[1]
In Formula 3 Euro, he completed a full campaign with Superfund TME, running against a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals. His International Formula 3000 tenure was brief; he started two rounds for the Red Bull junior programme and finished 18th in the championship standings. Across both series, he raced regularly alongside Nicolas Lapierre and Simon Abadie, both established opponents at his level. His strongest results came against drivers of considerably higher calibre; he finished ahead of Nico Rosberg, then a Formula 3 Euro regular en route to the 2005 GP2 title and later Formula 1 world champion, on three occasions, and ahead of Maro Engel, who would go on to win the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe championship, four times.[2]
