🇩🇪 Frank Stippler

Frank Stippler is a professional endurance racing driver competing at FIA Platinum grade. He races primarily in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for Haupt Racing Team, driving GT3 cars across its multiclass grid of amateurs and professionals. His career spans 18 seasons from 2007 to the present, with 123 starts across national and international endurance championships.[1]

Stippler has been a consistent frontrunner in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie since 2010, accumulating 10 wins and 45 podiums across 107 starts in that championship alone. He won the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie title in 2021 with PHOENIX RACING Audi. His record at the Nürburgring 24 Hours is particularly strong; he has taken two wins from eight starts in the race since 2019. His international experience extends to the 24H Series, GT World Challenge Europe, and brief campaigns in the IMSA WeatherTech Championship and FIA GT Championship, where he has consistently performed as a frontrunning driver in grids mixing amateurs with professionals.[2]

On the Nürburgring circuit where he races most often, Stippler is closely matched with Gold-graded Christian Krognes, a multiple-time professional champion, and Hubert Haupt, a long-term regular in the same series. His record includes victories over drivers of significantly higher profile; he has beaten elite professional Edoardo Mortara, a former Formula 3 Euro Series champion, four times, and has finished ahead of generational talent Max Verstappen twice in endurance competition.
