My name is Raphael Rennhofer, I’m 18 years old and live in Austria close to Vienna. My passion for racing came from my dad who had competed in karting for most of his life and I wanted to race for my entire childhood. Before I even started karting I began to play simracing games and after I’d been in a gokart for the first time I knew that I wanted to race profesionally one day. From 2017 to 2023 I competed in karting, mainly focussing on national and European Rotax Championships. Just before the Corona pandemic I began to take simracing more seriously and started to put a lot of time and effort into getting quicker on the sim, until I joined the eSports department of Phoenix Racing in early 2022. With them I’ve won some of the most prestigious events and series in iRacing, such as the 24h Nürburgring, 24h Series eSports and most recently the DNLS. The contacts I made during my time with Phoenix Racing helped me to get the opportunity in GT4 Germany in 2023, where I had my first real experience of racing GT cars. Since then, I’ve gained a bit of experience in GT4 and GT3 racing, winning races in the GT4 Euro and Germany, as well as competing in ADAC GT Masters. For 2025 my aim is to become the most complete driver I can be in all areas in order to become a professional driver in the future, while hopefully achieving some good results in GT4 Germany.

Goal: Win ADAC GT4 Germany & become a professional driver
