🇩🇪 Christopher Mies

Christopher Mies is a German professional racing driver currently competing in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship for Ford Racing. He built his early career as an Audi Sport factory driver, a role he held for fourteen years between 2009 and 2023, during which he competed extensively in GT3 competition across series such as ADAC GT Masters, GT World Challenge Europe, Intercontinental GT Challenge, and the Australian GT Championship. That long tenure with Audi established him as an experienced GT specialist before his move into a factory role with Ford Performance.[1]

In his time within the IMSA WeatherTech program, Mies has amassed 18 career starts, with 2 wins and 3 podiums overall, though he has yet to secure a championship. His Racer Rating stands at 5,633, placing him 200th among active drivers on a scale where the world's elite typically reach 10,000 to 11,500, reflecting a solid but still-developing standing within the current IMSA field. In the 2026 season, Mies has made 1 start without a win or podium finish, sitting P177 in the standings, an indication that his campaign is still in its early stages as he continues his transition to Ford Racing colors.[2]
