Finn Wiebelhaus (born 5 March 2006[1] in Obertshausen[2]) is a German racing driver currently competing in GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and ADAC GT Masters for Haupt Racing Team.

Early career

[edit]

A late starter to karting, Wiebelhaus initially took up soccer, playing for the Kickers Oberthausen team until 2019, when he participated in a karting course organized by ADAC Hessen-Thüringen.[3] Racing in karts for three years, Wiebelhaus won the South Germany ADAC Kart Cup in 2021 and 2022, along with further titles in the ADAC Kart Masters and West Germany ADAC Kart Cup, all in X30 Junior.[4]

In 2023, Wiebelhaus made his single-seater debut in the FFSA Academy-centrally run 2023 French F4 Championship as one of three representatives of the ADAC Formel Junior Team.[5][6] Racing in all but one rounds, Wiebelhaus scored a best result of seventh in race three at Magny-Cours and ended the season 22nd in the standings on six points.[7] During 2023, Wiebelhaus also competed on a part-time basis in Italian F4, racing for AS Motorsport at Imola round and for Jenzer Motorsport at Monza and Vallelunga.[8][9] In the nine races contested, Wiebelhaus scored a best result of 15th in the season-opening race one at Imola.[10]

GT career

[edit]

2024

[edit]

Despite testing for US Racing at the end of 2023,[11] Wiebelhaus elected to leave single-seaters ahead of 2024, instead joining Haupt Racing Team to compete in the GT Winter Series and ADAC GT Masters, driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo.[12] After winning seven out of nine races on his way to runner-up in the GT3 standings,[13] Wiebelhaus finished fourth and second in the two races of the season-opening Oscherlseben round.[14][15] Despite a fire damaging his car in race one of the third round at the Nürburgring,[16] it was repaired in time for race two,[17] and with it Wiebelhaus finished second to David Schumacher and Salman Owega to score his second podium of the season.[18] In the penultimate round of the season at the Red Bull Ring, Wiebelhaus achieved his maiden series win in race one, in what eventually was his third and final podium of the season.[19]

Also in the same year, Wiebelhaus also represented Germany in the FIA Motorsport Games, racing in both the GT Cup and GT Sprint disciplines. Paired up with Hubert Haupt in the former, the pair took the Gold medal by beating the Team Great Britain pair of Chris Frogratt and James Cottingham.[20] In the latter, Wiebelhaus drove solo and led most of the race, until he was passed by Ayhancan Güven with five minutes left and held on to take a Silver medal.[21]

2025

[edit]

In 2025, Wiebelhaus stayed with Haupt Racing Team, as the team switched to Ford Mustang, for a dual campaign in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and ADAC GT Masters,[22][23] in his first season as a Ford Performance GT3 junior.[24]
