🇩🇪 David Beckmann

David Beckmann is an established professional racing driver competing at the sportscar and Formula E level. His Racer Rating of 5,419 places him among established professionals; he holds FIA Gold status in endurance racing, denoting a full professional in that discipline. His career spans 11 seasons and 177 starts across single-seaters and sportscar racing, where he has averaged a ninth-place finish.[1]

Beckmann progressed through junior single-seaters from 2015 onward, winning once in ADAC Formula 4 and three times in Italian F4 that year before stepping up to the European-level categories. He showed competitive pace in Formula 3 between 2019 and 2020, posting two wins for Trident, and contested Formula 2 in 2021 and 2022 without victory, finishing on the podium twice. His most eye-catching campaign came in GP3 Series in 2018, where he won three races for Trident. Throughout his junior career he regularly raced alongside considerably stronger drivers: he finished ahead of Oscar Piastri 14 times, Lando Norris 12 times, and Liam Lawson 15 times across their shared races, though his head-to-head records against these drivers and his most frequent rivals such as Zhou Guanyu and Jehan Daruvala show he lost those matchups more often than he won them. In his transition to the professional ranks, Beckmann moved into Formula E with Cupra Kiro from 2023, posting no wins or podiums in 13 starts as he established himself in that field. His most recent competitive outing was a productive two-round stint in WEC in 2023, where he scored a win and a podium for Hertz Team JOTA. As of late 2025, he has joined Porsche's test and reserve driver programme in Formula E, continuing his involvement at the top level of sportscar and electric racing.[2]
