Andreas Wirth

Andreas Wirth (19 November 1984 – ) was born in Heidelberg Germany, and currently resides near the famed Hockenheimring. From an early age Andreas proved himself to be a capable German racer.

In 2004 Wirth won the Formula BMW USA championship after coming state-side, and then advanced to the Champ Car Atlantics in 2005 where he raced for two years, winning three races and finishing 6th and 3rd in the championship.

Following up a full 2006 season with Forsythe Championship Racing in the Champ Car Atlantics, Wirth was named to compete in his first Champ Car race in Dale Coyne Racing's #19 Sonny's BBQ entry at Surfer's Paradise, where he finished in 9th place. He then went on to race with Dale Coyne in Mexico City, and tested the new DP01 Champ Car in 2007.

In 2008 he was called to test in the Superleague Formula [1] and also ran in the American Le Mans Series with PTG Panoz.

For seven seasons Andreas competed in the ADAC GT Masters Series where he tallied a total of 9 victories, and as of the close of the 2015 season holds the record for GT Masters driver with the most wins at the Nürburgring.

In 2016 Wirth takes on a new challenge, moving into Prototype racing in the European Le Mans Series with SMP Racing in their LMP2 BR01 with co-drivers Stefano Coletti and Julian Leal.
