Finn Gehrsitz

Having been slated to make his car racing debut in the Lamera Cup at Misano in 2020,[3] Gehrsitz instead debuted in the Porsche Super Sports Cup at the Hockenheimring owing to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the racing schedule. He started his career out in brilliant fashion, winning his first two races in GT4 machinery.[4][5][6] At the GTC Finale held at the same circuit in November, Gehrsitz finished the endurance race in third, before being disqualified for an operational error, before winning the sprint race.[7]

For the 2021 season, Gehrsitz would move to compete in the Michelin Le Mans Cup, driving in the LMP3 category for Phoenix Racing.[8] Partnering Hamza Owega, the German would qualify second for the opening two races, scoring a seventh and fourth place in the races, before taking his first pole position at Monza.[9] He made good use of his grid spot, remaining in first before handing over the car to Owega at the midway point of the race, before their car suffered a mechanical issue, forcing them to retire. Another pole followed at the penultimate round in Spa-Francorchamps, where the team finished fourth, before Gehrsitz missed the season finale, meaning he dropped to ninth in the standings by season's end.[10]

At the end of the year, Gehrsitz made his debut in the European Le Mans Series, driving for Eurointernational in the season finale at Portimão.[11]

Gehrsitz competed in the Asian Le Mans Series at the start of 2022. Driving alongside Jürgen Häring and Marco Seefried in the GT-Am class, the team took four podiums and ended up third in the championship.[12]

His main campaign would lie in the European Le Mans Series, where he raced for United Autosports in the LMP3 class alongside Bailey Voisin and Josh Caygill.[13] His season started out strongly, as, having run first during his stint, teammate Caygill finished the race in Le Castellet in third, which turned into second once a car ahead had been disqualified.[14][15] The following rounds would bring less success however, as two retirements sandwiched a fifth and ninth place. At the season finale in the Algarve, Gehrsitz and his teammates took another podium finish, leading them to take eighth in the drivers' standings.[16]

Following the end of the campaign, Gehrsitz was selected as one of the designated Rookie Test drivers for the post-season rookie test in the World Endurance Championship.[17] The German drove in the LMGTE - Am category.[18]
