🇩🇪 Kenneth Heyer

Kenneth Heyer is a professional driver competing in multiclass endurance racing across European circuits. He races GT3 machinery for SR Motorsport by Schnitzelalm in the GT Winter Series, where he won the 2025 championship. Graded FIA Silver, Heyer sits in the middle tier of sportscar racing; below the full-time professionals but above amateur drivers, typically representing competitors establishing themselves in endurance competition.[1]

Heyer has raced for two decades across six series. His record centers on the GT Winter Series, where across three seasons from 2024 to 2026 he has taken 11 wins and 27 podiums from 41 starts, culminating in the 2025 title with SR Motorsport by Schnitzelalm. He has also contested the 24H Series multiclass championship extensively since 2017, recording 4 wins and 9 podiums from 22 starts, and has competed in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie across 16 years with 1 win from 32 starts. He has made seven starts in the Nürburgring 24 Hours since 2019 and holds two appearances in the FIA GT Championship from 2007 to 2009. His career total stands at 115 starts yielding 16 wins and 40 podiums.[2]

In the long-distance fields Heyer inhabits regularly, he typically finishes behind Frank Stippler, a Platinum-graded professional and 2021 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie champion who remains the quicker driver on repeated meetings. He runs closely matched with Martin Ragginger, a Gold-graded professional and regular calendar opponent across the Nürburgring series and FIA GT Championship. Heyer has finished ahead of António Félix da Costa, an established professional and 2019 Formula E champion, once across their rare meetings; he has also beaten Max Verstappen once in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, though Verstappen's three starts in that series mark it as a peripheral part of his career rather than his competitive focus.
