Frank Biela

Biela, from Neuss, began his motorsport career in 1982 in karting and became German champion in this category just one year later.

At the same time, he competed in the German Formula 3 Championship until 1989.

In the 1990 season, Biela joined the MS-Racing team of Jochen Mass and Günter Schons. He won in the 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution DTM already in the second DTM round on the occasion of the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring and achieved tenth position in the final drivers' standings.

in 1991, he switched to Audi and, in addition to winning a DTM title, went on to claim a total of five Le Mans victories for the Ingolstadt-based brand (2000 to 2002 as well as 2006 and 2007).
