Frank Biela is a semi-professional driver whose recorded career consists of three starts in Formula 3 Macau during 1988. His Racer Rating of 3,854 places him in the semi-professional band, a level typically occupied by paid drivers competing in pro-am and one-make classes. In this limited sample, Biela finished on average in fifth place and showed competitive form against an exceptionally strong field that included future Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill, elite-level drivers Jean Alesi and Gianni Morbidelli, and established professionals such as Stefan Johansson and Jan Lammers. He finished ahead of Alesi on two occasions and proved faster than multiple full professionals, including FIA Gold-graded competitors Karl Wendlinger and Morbidelli, though he did not secure a podium finish across his three races.[1]

The record on file covers only this brief junior foray in 1988 and does not extend into the touring car and endurance racing career for which Biela became known. His FIA Silver classification reflects his standing as a professional-level driver in sportscar racing, a category that sits below the Platinum and Gold grades reserved for full-time top-tier competitors. The database entries do not include his substantial later achievements in these categories, which took place well after this initial season.[2]
