Michel Neugarten was a professional racing driver from Portugal who competed in shared-car endurance racing. He spent six seasons in the FIA GT Championship between 1997 and 2003, making 42 starts for JvG Racing and latterly Elf Haberthur Racing. His rating of 4,298 places him among established professional-level drivers, though his competitive record reflects the mid-field of a championship that mixed amateur, semi-professional and professional entrants in the same field.[1]
Neugarten's best results came against established professionals from stronger racing backgrounds. He finished ahead of Allan McNish, an established professional with substantial Formula 1 and International Formula 3000 experience, and also beat Alessandro Nannini, who had raced in Formula 1. Against his most regular opponents, Neugarten was closely matched with Mike Hezemans, an FIA Silver graded professional, and typically finished ahead of Gerold Ried, an entry-level professional. His final season of record came in 2003, when he completed two rounds and finished 35th in the championship standings.[2]
