🏳️ Phillipp Leisen

Phillipp Leisen was a semi-professional endurance racing driver competing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a national multiclass championship run in shared-drive sprint races across multiple car classes. He raced for Pixum Team Adrenalin Motorsport, primarily in the V4 and V5 production-car classes alongside the single-make Cup 5 BMW category.[1]

Leisen contested three seasons from 2016 to 2018, taking nine wins and fourteen podiums across twenty-three starts. His peak came in 2018, when he won the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie championship with six wins and eight podiums from ten rounds. That title came with Pixum Team Adrenalin Motorsport, an established operation that had fielded nearly 150 drivers across the index.[2]

His record placed him closely matched with Marcel Manheller, the 2017 V4 champion and a regular competitor across the series, though he typically finished behind Michael Flehmer, a Bronze-graded amateur with four titles in the V4 class. Leisen's strongest scalp was Fabio Leimer, a GP2 Series champion and established professional in endurance racing; he beat him twice across their shared races in the championship.
