🇩🇪 Marc Lieb

Marc Lieb is a retired German endurance racing driver who raced for Porsche Team in the World Endurance Championship, a multiclass international series that runs prototypes and GTE cars in shared-driver format. His career spanned 15 seasons from 2002 to 2016, during which he competed across four major series: the FIA GT Championship, the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, the WEC, and IMSA WeatherTech. He is rated an established professional.[1]

Lieb's record centres on his sustained success in top-tier endurance racing. He took 41 starts in the WEC across five seasons, scoring seven wins and 19 podiums, and finished third in the championship standings in his final season, 2016. The Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, where he raced modified production and GT3 cars, saw him win seven of eleven starts with eight podiums between 2010 and 2012. His early years in the FIA GT Championship, a mixed-field single-class series, yielded one win and one podium from 35 starts. He added two brief campaigns in IMSA WeatherTech in 2014 and 2015. Across all series, he recorded 89 starts, 15 wins and 28 podiums.[2]

In the WEC, Lieb raced regularly against Andrea Bertolini, a three-time FIA GT Champion and entry-level professional with extensive endurance credentials, and Darren Turner, a professional Gold-graded driver with fifty-nine WEC starts; both proved closely matched competitors. His career included finishes ahead of elite-level drivers such as Mark Webber, the 2016 WEC LMP1 champion, whom he beat eight times across their shared races, and Nico Hülkenberg, a Formula 1 driver and Formula 3 Euro Series champion, though their meetings were rare.
