🇦🇹 Martin Ragginger

Martin Ragginger is a professional-level sportscar and endurance driver, rated 4,710; this places him among established professional competitors, drivers capable of winning races and running consistently at the sharp end of their fields. His FIA Gold categorisation reflects standing as a full professional within GT and endurance racing. Across seven seasons from 2019 to 2026, Ragginger has accumulated 13 starts split between the Nürburgring 24 Hours, Trans-Am, and ADAC GT Masters, with three podiums to his name and an average finishing position of P9.8.[1]

Ragginger's record shows him firmly in mid-field among professional rivals rather than as a front-runner. His head-to-head record against his most frequent competitors reads poorly; he trails Platinum-graded professionals Christopher Haase, Markus Winkelhock, and Luca Stolz by 5-7 results apiece, and has won only scattered encounters against Gold-graded driver Daniel Keilwitz. However, occasional victories over much stronger drivers tell a different story: he has beaten elite Platinum professionals Nico Müller (rated 6,642), Timo Bernhard (a 2016 WEC LMP1 champion), and Matt Campbell (a multiple-time WEC champion). These results appear isolated rather than part of a pattern, single instances in endurance fields where field variables and pit work matter alongside driving, rather than indications of underlying strength.[2]

The bulk of Ragginger's activity has come at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, where he has completed six starts for Falken Motorsports without a podium finish. His Trans-Am presence is more recent and productive; through 2026 he has scored two podiums across three rounds, most recently finishing fifth in the championship. His current status places him as a capable professional driver whose value lies in consistency and reliability in long-distance and endurance racing rather than in outright race-winning pace.
