Marc Lieb was a German professional sportscar and endurance racing driver who competed primarily in the World Endurance Championship between 2012 and 2016. Over that five-season period he accumulated 41 starts for Porsche Team, finishing on average in third place; he won seven races and took nineteen podiums. His final competitive appearance came in 2016, when he scored two wins and three podiums across nine WEC rounds. He is now retired from racing.[1]
Lieb's record in the WEC placed him among strong professional fields. His most frequent competitors were drivers of the calibre of Sébastien Buemi and André Lotterer, both multi-time international champions rated substantially above him; against Buemi across 22 shared races Lieb finished ahead thirteen times, while against Lotterer he held an identical 13-9 advantage. He also recorded a winning head-to-head against Mark Webber, a former Formula 1 driver and Ferrari test pilot, beating him eight times in their overlapping races. These results, sustained across multiple seasons against consistent elite opposition, characterise Lieb as a professional-grade endurance specialist who competed credibly in a series anchored by former and active single-seater champions.[2]
Before his WEC career Lieb had established himself as a successful GT and sportscar driver in other series, notably winning the FIA GT Championship twice and the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016. He transitioned to customer and amateur racing after 2016, competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup and related series in subsequent years.
