Horst Jr Felbermayr grew up in Austria, where the fascination for motorsport was instilled in the family early on. Like many drivers of his generation, he gathered his first experiences in karting before taking the step into formula and GT junior series. These early years on the kart track honed his feel for vehicle control and race tactics, qualities that would later benefit him in faster and more demanding racing vehicles.
Felbermayr’s path upward led through various national and international junior series, in which he gradually proved himself for GT3 vehicle assignments. The jump to higher-powered categories gave him the necessary experience to eventually establish himself in the formula scene as well as in GT endurance racing. This gradual building of his career, from smaller championships to prestigious endurance classics, formed the foundation for his later entry into the FIA WEC.
Within the international GT and endurance racing scene, Felbermayr has continuously developed over the years and gained valuable experience in different team constellations. His name is associated with committed efforts in highly competitive fields where consistency and technical understanding determine success. These experiences from numerous race weekends form today the basis of his driving profile in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
For the 2026 season, Horst Jr Felbermayr remains part of the international endurance racing circuit of the FIA WEC. His goal for the coming season is to build on the experience gathered in previous years and continue to establish himself in the fiercely contested field. Fans and observers of the scene are eagerly looking forward to his appearances at the upcoming races, where he will once again compete against international competition and continue his development in endurance racing.
