🇨🇭 Mathias Schläppi

Mathias Schläppi is a competitive amateur in German national multiclass endurance racing. He spent his racing career primarily in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie from 2010 to 2022, racing shared-driver Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport and production-based race cars for Schläppi Race-Tec GmbH. He finished his career with a single start in the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2023, piloting a TCR touring car for Scherer Sport PHX.[1]

Over thirteen seasons, Schläppi took six wins and eighteen podiums from 45 starts in endurance racing at the Nürburgring. He was most competitive in the Cup 3 and SP 3 classes, where he was closely matched against Dirk Groneck and Tim Groneck, both regular rivals at the same level and championship-winning drivers in those classes. He finished ahead of Manuel Metzger, an FIA Silver professional and four-time Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie champion across multiple classes, at least once.[2]

Racing in a field that mixed amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals, Schläppi remained a consistent mid-field competitor throughout his time in the series. His primary team, Schläppi Race-Tec, fielded a field of drivers across its 41-start campaign and achieved 14 wins with him and his teammates.
