Herbie Schmidt was a competitive amateur racing in national multiclass endurance championships at the Nürburgring. He competed in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie from 2014 to 2015 as a shared-driver endurance competitor in modified production-based machinery, primarily for Toyota Swiss Racing Team, and later raced the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2019 and 2020 in turbocharged production and near-standard production cars.[1]
Across eight starts in these two series, Schmidt took two podium finishes. His most regular competition came against semi-professional drivers Joachim Nett and Jürgen Nett, both established regulars at the Nürburgring with dozens of starts between the two championships; Schmidt typically finished behind them. He recorded single finishes ahead of stronger drivers including Luca Engstler, a professional and FIA Gold-graded driver with extensive single-seater and GT racing experience, and Franz Engstler, an FIA Bronze professional and 2023 Ferrari Challenge Am champion with a career spanning the World Touring Car Championship.[2]
