Racing Driver Max Hesse

Max Hesse, born on July 23, 2001, is a rising star in the world of German motorsport. Hailing from Wernau, Germany, Hesse has quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in both touring car and GT racing. Since 2023, he has been a part of the BMW M Motorsport works driver program, demonstrating his talent and commitment to the prestigious brand. Currently, he races for ROWE Racing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, showcasing his skills on the international stage.

Hesse's career began in the ADAC TCR Germany series, where he made his debut in 2017. After a full season with PROsport Performance in 2018 and securing the Rookie Trophy, he joined Hyundai Team Engstler in 2019. That year, he impressively clinched the ADAC TCR Germany title, earning him the ADAC Junior Motorsportsman of the Year award.

Notably, in 2024, driving for Rowe Racing alongside Harper and Augusto Farfus, he secured a victory at Le Castellet and earned pole position for the Nürburgring 24 Hours, becoming the youngest driver ever to do so.
