🇦🇹 Lorenz Hörzing

Lorenz Hörzing is a competitive amateur driver rated 2,417, placing him in the club racing band; he competes at the front of entry-level professional fields but typically lacks the depth of experience and consistency found in full-time national championships. His first and only season on record came in 2025, when he took the Racing Prodigy championship with TC Racing, posting five wins and eight podiums across ten rounds with an average finish of second place. This is a notably strong debut. In his limited head-to-head record, Hörzing has beaten established drivers across the field: he finished ahead of Kamden Hibbitt and Thomas Bellemin, both semi-professionals rated above 3,400, in multiple encounters, and he holds a 3–1 record against Nathan Saxon, a professional-level driver rated 2,995. Against his most frequent rival, Dino Filippa, he compiled a dominant 9–1 record over ten shared races.[1]

Hörzing's weakness against the very strongest drivers in his field is evident in his mixed record against other top performers. He went 4–0 against David Dalton, Jr., a driver of similar rating, and 3–1 against Will Redford, but his performance against the broader field suggests he has yet to sustain a pattern of beating front-running professionals consistently. His TC Racing team, while competent with seven wins across its wider roster, has fielded much stronger drivers, notably Gabriel Gomez at professional level. Hörzing's path from sim racing victory in 2023 to a championship year in 2025 shows rapid progression, but with only one season of circuit racing recorded, his standing as a real-world competitor remains to be established across multiple years and stronger international fields.
