Terms & Conditions
  • Andreas is proud to have the opportunity to continue working with ALPINA on the development of the BMW ALPINA B6 race car with their new managing team S-Berg Racing of Austria. After a successful and fulfilling 2009 season, Wirth looks forward to competing once again in the German ADAC GT Masters series and the FIA GT3 European Championship in 2010.
  • Having faced his share of challenges in the world of motorsport, Andreas was happy to be back on track in 2009 where he was able to put it all behind him. 2009 marked the beginning of a new journey for this young racer as he joined a team rich in racing heritage - BMW ALPINA, as they celebrated their return to motorsport in the FIA GT3 European Championship, the GT Masters and VLN Series and the 24h race of the famous Nürburgring Nordschleife. Andreas is proud to join the ranks of such legendary ALPINA drivers as Niki Lauda, Jacky Ickx, Hans Stuck and Dieter Quester, and hopes to learn from the experience and long history of this successful team.
  • The world of motorsport saw considerable upheaval in 2008 as the Champ Car World Series & the Indy Racing League merged to create one unified series. Unfortunately for Wirth, this meant he would never achieve his goal to race full time in the beloved Champ Car World Series. Eager to return to racing and hone his skills, Wirth made the difficult decision to return to the Atlantic Championship in 2008 where he competed until sponsorship woes, stemming from the unrest in open-wheel racing and lack of exposure for the series, sidelined him after just three events. On a more positive note, Andreas worked hard to find his way back behind the wheel and closed out his main stream racing efforts for the year in the American Le Mans Series with PTG Panoz competing in the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.
  • In 2007 Andreas tested the new DP01 Champ Car and was invited to explore a number of options with teams throughout a variety of racing series. However, in order to reach his long-term goals and secure a solid racing career for the future with a competitive team in a top series, Andreas realized that his efforts for 2007 were best spent working behind the scenes with the business of racing.
  • In 2006 Andreas was extended the privilege to debut in the Champ Car World Series at Surfer’s Paradise Australia where he proudly finished in ninth place on one of the most difficult tracks on the schedule.
  • Enjoyed a total of six trips to the podium in the 2006 Champ Car Atlantic Championship (two first place finishes and four third place finishes), and a total of eight top ten finishes in the 12 events on the calendar. Andreas finished the season third overall driving for Forsythe Championship Racing.
  • During his rookie year in the Toyota Atlantic Series, Andreas was second in the point standings going into the penultimate race, and was a serious contender for the Championship. However, due to an unfortunate accident he was forced to miss the final two events of the 2005 season. Despite missing the last two events, Andreas finished the season in a respectable 6th place.
  • Earned five 3rd place finishes, one 2nd place and one victory in his 2005 rookie season with the Toyota Atlantic Series.
  • Won the inaugural Formula BMW North American Championship in 2004.
  • Recorded podium finishes in 11 of 14 Formula BMW North American events in 2004 (never finishing lower than 5th place), including wins at Road America, Laguna Seca, and both events at Lime Rock.
  • Produced six top-five finishes in the 2003 German Formula BMW series, including a 2nd place finish in Italy.
  • Finished in the top 10 in all eight races in 2002 Formula BMW series, including a 2nd place finish at the Austrian Grand Prix and a 3rd place finish at Zandvoort in the Netherlands.
  • Finished second in the 2001 German Formula Ford Championship in his rookie year.
  • Earned two 10th-place finishes in Formula Ford including the event at Spa and the World Final at Brands Hatch in 2001.
  • 1998-2000: Raced in several junior and senior German Karting series, earning several championships along the way.
