Sarah's full bio:

(last updated 2026-01-26

Sarah Ganser is a German touring car driver who cut her teeth racing across Belgium before taking on one of motorsport’s most notorious challenges: the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

EARLY YEARS

Sarah started racing at just 15 years old, getting behind the wheel of a Peugeot in 2011. From Stolberg, Germany, she quickly made a name for herself competing in the Cup and Tourenwagen series, though most of her early racing took place not in her home country, but across the border in Belgium[1][2].

OTHER INTERESTS

EARLY SUCCESS

The young driver showed her mettle early on, piloting a Peugeot 206 with “very young and very talented” noted by observers in the Belgian racing scene[3]. By 2010, she was already competing in endurance racing, driving a Porsche 996 GT3 Cup alongside Karen Vaes in the Belgian Racing Car Championship’s Endurance section, where they finished 17th[4][5]. Her willingness to tackle long-distance racing at such a young age hinted at the grit that would define her career.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

  • 2016: Competed in the DMV BMW Challenge[6].
  • 2018: Finished eighth in class V5 at the VLN 6 Hours ADAC Ruhrpokal-Rennen driving a BMW with Bradley Philpot and Johan Sandberg for Underdog Racing[7].
  • 2025: Made her NLS debut, celebrating a third-place finish in her class despite dropping one position in the final stint[8].
  • 2025: Drove a VW Golf 7 TCR in the SP3T class at NLS2, marking a strong performance among numerous female competitors[9][10].
  • 2025: Qualified first in class and 75th overall with a Porsche Cayman during the Nürburgring 24H qualifiers, though finished second in class in the race itself[11][12].
  • 2025: Competed in the legendary 24 Hours of Nürburgring as the fourth driver for Walkenhorst Motorsport in a Hyundai, bringing her experience with VT2 and TCR cars to the Nordschleife[13][14].

REPUTATION

Ganser has built a reputation as a solid touring car competitor who doesn’t shy away from the Green Hell. Her experience spans multiple car types—from Peugeots to Porsches to TCR machines—and she’s consistently shown up for some of endurance racing’s toughest challenges. The Nürburgring Nordschleife has become something of a specialty for her, with appearances in both VT2 and TCR cars proving she can handle the demanding 12.9-mile circuit that’s claimed the courage of many drivers twice her experience[15][16].
