🇩🇪 Luca Stolz

Luca Stolz is an established professional sportscar driver with a Racer Rating of 5,443, placing him among the top tier of full-time GT and endurance racers. His FIA Platinum grading reflects a career built almost entirely in top-flight sportscar competition. Across 154 starts since 2017, Stolz has accumulated 10 wins and 48 podiums, with an average finishing position of P8.9 that masks considerable consistency against the strongest fields in his discipline. He competes primarily for Mercedes-AMG, with 66 starts in GT World Challenge Europe forming the backbone of his record, where he has taken 6 wins and 24 podiums. His career has also encompassed forays into single-seater racing through DTM, where 40 starts yielded 3 wins and 10 podiums, and endurance challenges including the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, the Nürburgring 24 Hours, and the World Endurance Championship.[1]

Against the most consistent rivals in his peer group, Stolz shows an mixed record that reflects the cut-throat nature of professional GT racing. He has a winning head-to-head against Ricardo Feller across 91 shared races, edging him 54 times to 37, and holds an even record against Kelvin van der Linde, himself a much stronger driver rated at FIA Platinum with a championship to his name. Against Mirko Bortolotti and Christopher Haase, Stolz trails significantly, while he maintains an edge over Raffaele Marciello, a three-time champion, by a narrow margin of 37 finishes ahead to 34 behind across 71 races. Notably, Stolz has outfinished several generational talents on single occasions: Max Verstappen, Liam Lawson, and Alexander Albon each feature once on his record of drivers beaten, moments of professional excellence rather than patterns.[2]

Stolz's greatest recent success came in May 2026 at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, where he drove for Winward Racing to victory; this represented a major endurance win in one of the sport's most demanding events and concluded Mercedes-AMG's decade-long drought at the circuit. His 2025 season has begun with limited activity, a single start in the WEC resulting in a 67th-place finish, but his long tenure across multiple championships and his consistent presence on podiums in Europe's strongest GT fields define a career at the established professional level.
