I’m glad you’re visiting my page and are interested in my journey and my goals!

• My goal: To become a factory driver in GT and touring car racing.
• My personality: I am a calm person with a sense of responsibility and a focus on long-term goals.
• My mindset: I know what I want and pursue my path My mindset: I know what I want and pursue my path with determination.
• My goals for 2026:: To translate my SimRacing success into real-world performance on the actual racetrack.
• My driving style: Fair, intelligent, fast, and focused.
• Favorite car: Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO 2020
• Favorite track: Mount Panorama (Bathurst)
• Interpersonal approach: I inspire those around me through skill, intuition, knowledge, and respect. I enjoy sharing my experience—for example, through SimRacing coaching
• Hobbies: Playing the piano (because motorsport is more than just a hobby!)
  
  Since motorsport is very expensive, I appreciate any form of support—whether through Crowdfunding, PayPal Pools, booking my SimRacing coaching sessions or following me on social media.

My passion for cars began very early

Since I could speak, there was a lot for me to talk about: I talked about the car brand names and matched them to their logos. 
I loved long car rides and played with all kind of cars: Matchbox, Lego, RC cars …

and one day: 

We were driving on the highway and there was a rally-stage on the field behind the guard rail.
There was a whole lot of dust and. I couldn’t quite believe that they were driving faster than us. 
And from there on the goal was clear:

I am gonna be a racing driver! 

It was 2022. First I began with rental karting, on all tracks, even new ones, I was quick from the beginning. The marshals notice this immediately and encouraged me to pursue my dream. On the Spreewaldring Kart Center I am holding the track record since may 2025. 

For some drivers are achievements in SimRacing the gateway to the real world of motorsport, maybe for me too?

I made space in my room, sold all the kids stuff and wished for money on birthdays and christmas. And sooner rather than later I owned a PC for SimRacing. Nowadays I have a high-end SimRig and since late 2023, I am participating in semi-professional races on multiple platforms. 
Start of 2024 I founded my own SimRacing team Vin Motorsport, for which I am currently racing myself. We are an international community with 15 drivers in the main team and around 10 drivers in the academy, who I am supporting with my SimRacing coaching . 
For some sprint and endurances races, which we host as a community I mostly take the role of race control. 
I already earned myself a fair amount of SimRacing achievements, one for example is the G61 trackrecord for the GT3 class on the Nürburgring GP Track Grand Prix layout. Currently I am ranked 5th highest on the platform Pitskill with over 40k drivers and I have yet to stop climbing in the elo-rating. 

Onto the racetrack – step by step

II train with the Spreewaldring Kartingschool under the supervision of Oliver Rodig and David Böhrke. With those two and Tassilo Budde, I also absolved my two-week long school internship at the Spreewaldring Training Center. I learned there and next to the track loads of things and came a step closer to achieving my goals. 

In March 2026, I competed in my first races on a real racetrack in a BMW 318ti Cup car as part of the NATC Youngster Cup.
Unfortunately, the race weekend was marred by technical issues and bad luck.
I decided to switch teams. I contacted my preferred team, underwent a sim racing test with their race coach, and am now looking forward to racing with a professional team:
JAS Rennsport

In Motorsport

In 2026:
Finding the perfect team who trusts me as much as I do myself. 
Bringing my SimRacing achievements SimRacing achievements onto the real race track. 
Additional SimRacing achievements. 

Long-term:
