🏳️ Jens Riemer

Jens Riemer was a semi-professional racing driver competing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a multiclass endurance championship run entirely in Germany where amateur and semi-professional drivers shared the track with graded professionals. He raced Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars in the Cup 2 class and near-standard production machinery in the V5 and V6 classes, primarily for Car #450, the team he drove for in 24 of his 54 starts.[1]

Riemer competed in the series across seven seasons from 2010 to 2017, taking nine wins and 22 podiums. He won back-to-back championships in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in 2015 and 2016, both with Car #450. His most recent season, 2017, saw him take one podium across four rounds before finishing 22nd in the championship standings.[2]

In a field that regularly included graded professionals, Riemer finished ahead of Earl Bamber, an established professional and 2019 IMSA WeatherTech GTLM champion, once across their 11 meetings. He also beat Edoardo Mortara, an elite professional and 2010 Formula 3 Euro Series champion, twice. Among his regular opponents were Bertin Sing and Christian Büllesbach; he typically finished ahead of Sing while remaining closely matched with Büllesbach.
