Alexander Mattschull (born 2 March 1972) is a German racing driver who last competed in the LMP2 class of the Asian Le Mans Series for DKR Engineering.
Mattschull is the son of Arnold Mattschull, a former racing driver and former CEO of Takko Fashion. [2] Alexander became co-CEO of the company in 2018, before being promoted to CEO as his father joined the company's advisory board. [3] [4] In the first quarter of 2021, the younger Mattschull left the company. [5]
Mattschull began his car racing career in 1991, mainly competing in Porsche one-make series until 1995, most notably also racing in the 1994 BPR 4 Hours of Paul Ricard and the 1995 24 Hours of Daytona. [6] [7] Returning to racing in 2010, Mattschull primarily raced at the Nürburgring until 2013, [8] which included his debut in the Blancpain Endurance Series for GT Corse in 2013 at the same venue, in which he scored a Gentleman class podium. [9]
Returning to GT Corse by Rinaldi for 2014, Mattschull began the year by finishing fourth overall at the Dubai 24 Hour. [10] Continuing with them for the rest of the year in the Blancpain Endurance Series, Mattschull took Am class wins at Monza, [11] Silverstone and Le Castellet to secure runner-up honors in class. [12] [13] After a part-time season for Car Collection Motorsport in 2015, [14] Mattschull joined Rinaldi Racing for the following season. [15] Competing in the Pro-Am class in all but one race, Mattschull scored a class win at the Nürburgring and a podium at Monza to end the year ninth in the Pro-Am standings. [16]
Continuing with Rinaldi Racing for 2017, Mattschull raced with them in both the Blancpain GT Series Endurance and Sprint Cups. [17] In the former, Mattschull scored a class podium at Barcelona to finish 10th in the Pro-Am standings, [18] while in the latter, he won all but three races in class to seal the Pro-Am title at the Nürburgring finale. [19] Returning with the German team to race in the Endurance Cup the following year, [20] Mattschull took class wins at Monza and the 24 Hours of Spa en route to a third-place points finish in Pro-Am. [21] [22] During 2018, Mattschull also raced in Blancpain GT Series Asia for GruppeM Racing Team, taking an overall win at Buriram, as well as a class win at Fuji along with three class podiums to take fifth in the GT3 Pro-Am standings. [23] [24] Towards the end of the year, Mattschull also represented Germany in the only edition of the FIA GT Nations Cup. [25]
After winning the 2019 24 Hours of Spa in the Am class with Rinaldi, [26] Mattschull remained with the team for 2020 as they made their debut in the LMP3 class of the Le Mans Cup. [27] In his first season in the series, Mattschull scored a best result of fifth at Algarve alongside Nicolás Varrone as he ended the year 17th in the standings. [28] Continuing with Rinaldi alongside Varrone for 2021, the pair took three second-place finishes between the Monza and Le Mans rounds as they finished third in points. [29] [30] Having been set to race in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series for Team Virage in 2022, [31] Mattschull elected to remain in the Le Mans Cup for a third season as he joined Racing Spirit of Léman alongside Tom Dillmann. [32] Alongside the Frenchman, Mattschull opened up the season by winning at Le Castellet and race one at Le Mans, [33] [34] before winning at Monza and finishing third at Algarve to clinch the LMP3 title. [35] [36]
Mattschull then raced in the LMP2 Pro-Am class of the following year's European Le Mans Series season, [37] before then joining DKR Engineering to compete in the 2023–24 Asian Le Mans Series in LMP2. [38] In his first season in the series, Mattschull scored two third-place finishes at Sepang and Abu Dhabi to take fifth in points. [39] [40] Remaining with DKR to race in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series for the rest of 2024, [41] Mattschull took a lone podium at Le Castellet en route to a sixth-place points finish. [42] During 2024, Mattschull also raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the same team, finishing third in the LMP2 Pro-Am class. [43] At the end of the year, Mattschull joined Proton Competition to race in the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series, [44] in which he scored a best result of fifth in both races at Abu Dhabi. [45]
Having not raced for most of 2025 and only appearing as a reserve entry for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for DKR, [46] Mattschull stayed with the Luxembourgish team to race in the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series, [47] taking a lone win at Abu Dhabi to take fifth in the LMP2 standings. [48]
