Frank Biela

Frank Biela is a German racing driver best known for his five victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and his touring car racing excellence. Born on August 2, 1964, in Neuss, Germany, Biela established himself as one of the most versatile drivers of his generation.

Biela won the 24 Hours of Le Mans five times (2000-2002, 2006-2007), all with Audi Sport. He was a key member of Audi's dominant sports car program alongside Tom Kristensen and Emanuele Pirro. His experience and consistency were invaluable in the grueling 24-hour format.
