Career

Karting

Ried has an impressive karting résumé, especially in his native Germany. From 2017 to 2018, he competed in Bambini karting, where he secured a best championship result of 2nd in the ADAC Kart Masters. ^[2] For the next three years, he went on to compete on OK-Junior karts, where his most successful year came in 2021, finishing 6th in both the Deutsche Kart Meisterschaft and the ADAC Kart Masters. ^{[3] [4]} He moved up to join the OK category in 2022, and immediately found himself at home by winning the ADAC Kart Masters. ^[5] Ried then competed in gearbox karting in 2023, in preparation for Formula 4.

Formula 4

In February 2024, it was confirmed that Ried would be stepping up to cars, joining Monlau Motorsport for the 2024 Formula Winter Series. ^[6] Ried contested the full season of the series, and had a tough spell in the series. He finished 38th in the standings, securing a best result of 17th. ^[7] It was then announced that Ried would be continuing with Monlau for the 2024 F4 Spanish Championship. ^[8] Improvement was evident in the first round, as he finished 14th in the third race of the round at the Circuito del Jarama. ^[9] The third round of the season at Le Castellet saw him achieve his best finish of the season, as he finished 12th in the opening race of the round. ^[10] At season's end, Ried found himself in 27th in the standings, finishing above all but one of his teammates. ^[11]

Eurocup-3

In early 2025, Ried was confirmed to be joining the 2025 Eurocup-3 season with Spanish outfit Drivex. ^[12] He also joined the team for the Spanish Winter Series. ^[13] He finished 22nd in the standings, with a best finish of 12th in the opening race at Jerez. However, before the main season began, he switched teams to Palou Motorsport, driving under the Sparco Palou MS banner. ^[1]

Personal life

Ried's father is Christian Ried, who competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship. His elder brother Jonas competes in the European Le Mans Series. ^{[14] [15]}
