Stahlschmidt is an entry-level professional competing in German national multiclass endurance racing, racing for Adrenalin Motorsport Team Mainhattan Wheels. He holds an FIA Silver grade, placing him below the full-professional tier in sportscar racing. His primary competition is the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, where he drives Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport and near-standard production machinery across multiple classes, and the Nürburgring 24 Hours, which he contests in BMW M240i Racing and production-based cars.[1]
Over a decade of racing from 2017 onwards, Stahlschmidt has taken three titles in the Langstrecken-Serie: in 2020 and 2021 with Pixum CFN Team Adrenalin Motorsport and Adrenalin Motorsport Team Alzner Automotive respectively, then again in 2025 with his current outfit. He has won five of six Nürburgring 24 Hours starts, a record that sets him apart on the international endurance calendar. Across both series combined he holds 23 wins and 37 podiums from 68 starts.[2]
Stahlschmidt runs in fields mixing amateurs with graded professionals, where he finishes consistently near the front. He is closely matched with regular rivals Torsten Kratz, an entry-level professional with broader endurance experience across European Le Mans Series, and Marcel Manheller, a semi-professional and 2017 Langstrecken-Serie V4 champion. His record includes isolated victories over established professionals such as Esteban Guerrieri, the 2012 Indy NXT champion and 2019 World Touring Car champion, and FIA Gold-graded Néstor Girolami. In the current 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours, Stahlschmidt has taken a win from the opening round so far.
