🇦🇹 Max Hofer

Max Hofer is a Silver-graded sportscar professional competing in GT and endurance racing; this rating of 5,030 places him among established professional drivers who win regularly in their own fields, though typically outside the highest tier. Across seven seasons since 2015, Hofer has made 34 starts, the vast majority in GT World Challenge Europe, where he has raced 26 times for Pure Rxcing without a win or podium finish. His average finishing position across all classified races stands at sixteenth. Hofer has also competed in the Nürburgring 24 Hours five times and made two ADAC Formula 4 starts in 2015 at the outset of his career.[1]

Hofer's record in GT World Challenge Europe reveals the competitive context in which he operates. He has faced a succession of elite endurance drivers, including Platinum-graded professionals such as Charles Weerts, who won that championship four times, and Maro Engel, the 2024 champion. Against these rivals and others of comparable standing, Hofer's head-to-head records are heavily one-sided; he finished ahead of Weerts once in 25 shared races, ahead of Engel three times in 25, and ahead of Dries Vanthoor twice in 24. He has found more competitive ground against Benjamin Goethe, a Gold-graded driver, whom he has beaten 12 times in 23 encounters. His record against Ricardo Feller, a Platinum professional and 2021 ADAC GT Masters champion, shows 16 wins in 24 races, indicating a closer contest at that level. Hofer remains active in 2026, most recently competing in the Nürburgring 24 Hours.[2]
