🇪🇪 Ralf Aron

Ralf Aron is a professional endurance racing driver rated at 4,793, competing primarily in GT and sportscar series with Mercedes-AMG as a factory driver. He holds an FIA Gold grading, placing him among the professional drivers in international GT and endurance racing. His racing career began in single-seaters in 2015, but he has since transitioned to multiclass and GT endurance racing, where he competes for established teams including Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed and other leading sportscar programmes.[1]

Aron won the 2015 Italian F4 championship with Prema Powerteam, taking 9 wins in 20 starts as a junior driver. He then spent three seasons in FIA Formula 3 European with PREMA Theodore Racing, scoring 5 wins and 12 podiums across 82 starts from 2016 to 2018. His single-seater racing brought him into competition with drivers who would reach the sport's elite levels; he finished ahead of generational talents George Russell and Lando Norris multiple times across their shared seasons. Since 2023, Aron has focused on endurance racing. He secured a win in the ADAC GT Masters in 2023 with Haupt Racing Team and has taken multiple podiums in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. In early 2026, he won the European Le Mans Series round for Team Qatar by Iron Lynx. He has also contested the Bathurst 12 Hour in the PRO class and been entered in IMSA WeatherTech competition.[2]

In his core competition, Aron races regularly against established professionals on Gold gradings; he typically finishes ahead of Marino Sato, a Gold-graded professional with Formula 2 and FIA Formula 3 European experience, and runs closely matched with Zhou Guanyu, a Formula 2 and established professional driver. His record in professional endurance grids shows consistent podium pace against this calibre of opposition. He returned to racing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in August 2026 after a back fracture sustained at Bathurst in February.
