🏳️ Elena Egger

Elena Egger races in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a multiclass endurance championship run in Germany where amateurs and professionals share the track. She drives a rear-wheel-drive turbocharged production car in the VT2 Hecka class for Giti Tires Motorsport by WS Racing. Her racing career on record spans two seasons, from 2025 to the present.[1]

Egger sits twelfth in the championship standings so far in 2026, across four races completed. She competes regularly against entry-level professionals including Daniel Zils, a five-time VT2 Hecka champion, and Philipp Leisen, also a two-time champion in the class, typically finishing behind both. She has crossed the line ahead of drivers with considerably stronger records; she finished ahead of Tijmen van der Helm, a professional with 36 IMSA WeatherTech starts and 20 in Formula 3, and Bruno Spengler, a professional graded FIA Platinum who has raced in DTM and IMSA, though each of these was a single occurrence.[2]

The field mixes established campaigners with developing drivers. Egger sits mid-grid in a class where the strongest regular opposition are multiple-time national champions; her occasional finishes ahead of much more experienced professionals remain exceptions to a pattern of racing in their shadow as the season continues.
