🇦🇹 Horst-Felix Felbermayr

Horst-Felix Felbermayr is an Austrian professional-level endurance racing driver competing in the LMP2 Pro-Am category. Graded FIA Silver, he operates at the standard of a developing professional in sportscar and GT racing, though his results to date show he remains in the middle order of these fields. Across nineteen starts between 2023 and 2026, Felbermayr has scored no wins or podiums, averaging a fourteenth-place finish. His career began in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup in 2023 before moving to endurance racing with Proton Competition from 2025 onward, racing in the European Le Mans Series, Asian Le Mans Series, and the 2026 WEC.[1]

Felbermayr's most frequent rivals span the professional grades. Against FIA Gold driver Harry King, he holds an even record of six wins and six losses in twelve shared races. His head-to-head against FIA Silver peer Huub van Eijndhoven shows a losing record of four wins to seven, while stronger opponents have generally dominated; against Malthe Jakobsen, a Gold-graded three-time champion, Felbermayr finished behind him in all nine shared races. More significant are occasional results against top-tier Platinum-graded drivers. He has beaten Nick Cassidy, a two-time champion rated well above him, on two occasions; finished ahead of four-time champion Dane Cameron once; and bested 1988 champion Renger van der Zande in a single race. These remain isolated results rather than patterns of competitiveness at that level.[2]

Felbermayr races primarily for Proton Competition, which has established itself as a competitive LMP2 operation with nineteen wins across its index. His involvement in the 2026 Le Mans entry, noted in May and June 2026, places him at the highest level of endurance racing, though his rating of 4,192 positions him in the lower half of professional-calibre competition.
