Ferdinand Stuck is set to appear at the Grand Meeting 2026

Ferdinand gained his first experience in karting before making his debut in the Porsche Carrera Cup in 2010 – as a Porsche Motorsport Talent, with all that this title implies. His big breakthrough came a year later: in 2011, he competed alongside his brother Johannes for Reiter Engineering in the ADAC GT Masters and the German GT Championship – at the wheel of a Lamborghini Gallardo. The brother duo clicked straight away, with four race wins securing the German GT Championship title and second place in the ADAC GT Masters. It was a debut to remember.

Another special moment marked 2011: at the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring, Hans-Joachim, Johannes and Ferdinand formed Team Stuck³ – “Strietzel” Stuck’s farewell race. “It brings things full circle,” said their father at the time. “If you manage to finish by driving with your sons and then saying: ‘Lads, now it’s your turn’ – that’s a lovely thing.” Three generations of Stucks, one race, one story.

This was followed by another year in the ADAC GT Masters in 2012, and appearances in the VLN with Audi Sport Team Phoenix in 2013 – always on the lookout for new challenges, always with the ambition one would expect from Stuck. In 2014, he competed in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring with Walkenhorst Motorsport, and in 2017 he drove a KTM X-Bow GT4. And the Nürburgring remained his territory: in 2018 and 2021, Ferdinand Stuck won his class at the Nürburgring 24-hour race in the KTM X-Bow – two class victories on the track where his father had once celebrated his greatest triumphs.

Ferdinand Stuck is calmer and more focused than his father – but no less fast. He didn’t inherit his place in motorsport; he earned it. At the Grand Meeting 2026, running from 31 July to 2 August, he’ll be on hand for autographs, chats and unforgettable encounters – as part of the “Next Generation – Daughters & Sons of Speed”.
