Franz Linden is a semi-professional racing in national multiclass endurance series at Germany's Nürburgring. He drives Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport cars in the Cup 3 class, splitting seat time with co-drivers across two championships: the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and the Nürburgring 24 Hours. His primary machinery is fielded by Car #971 in the Langstrecken-Serie.[1]
Across three seasons from 2024 to 2026, Linden has taken two podiums from 20 starts. He scored a podium finish in the Langstrecken-Serie in 2024 or 2025, then added another in the 24-hour race that same season. In the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours, still in progress, he has already secured a podium finish from the opening round.[2]
Linden typically races against entry-level professionals graded FIA Silver, among them Moritz Oehme and Leonard Oehme, both regular Nürburgring competitors with considerably more starts in these series; he has usually finished behind them. He has on single occasions finished ahead of Christopher Lulham, an established professional with significant experience in GT World Challenge Europe and Le Mans-level racing, and ahead of Flynt Schuring, a professional with a Porsche Supercup background.
