🇩🇪 Rolf Buchstaller

Rolf Buchstaller was a competitive amateur racing in national multiclass endurance championships at the Nürburgring. He raced for Car #443 in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and later drove a Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport in the Nürburgring 24 Hours, sharing the cars with teammates as is standard in endurance racing.[1]

Buchstaller took 21 starts across eight seasons from 2011 to 2019, spread between the Langstrecken-Serie and a single appearance in the 24-hour race. He scored one win and eight podiums; his victory came in the Langstrecken-Serie, and he added a podium finish at the Nürburgring 24 Hours in 2019, his most recent race. The bulk of his racing came in the Langstrecken-Serie across 2011 to 2013, a period when he accumulated seven podiums from 20 starts in the V5 and V6 classes.[2]

His regular competition included Daniel Zils, an entry-level professional and three-time Langstrecken-Serie champion with over a hundred starts in the series, against whom Buchstaller was closely matched. He also raced against Dominik Thiemann, a four-time V5 champion, finishing behind him consistently. Buchstaller beat professional-graded drivers including Christian Konnerth, a two-time V5 champion with 90 Langstrecken-Serie starts, and Noah Nagelsdiek, a Silver-graded professional.
