Profile.
As in 2012, Uwe Alzen will also strengthen the ranks of the BMW Team RLL in 2013 when they take on the endurance classics at Sebring and Road Atlanta. Alzen will be bringing a great amount of endurance racing experience with him to North America. His home track is the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. In 2010, he won the 24-hour race there with Jörg Müller, Augusto Farfus (BR) and Pedro Lamy (PT) in a BMW M3 GT2. For Alzen, this was the second victory in the “Green Hell”: he also won there for Porsche in 2000.
He wouldn’t be a complete racing driver, however, had he not dared to widen his horizons during his career. In 1993, he won the Spa 24 Hours, and was second in the overall rankings with Jörg Müller in the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1998. A year later, he won the GT3 class. He has also driven in the DTM for Opel and Mercedes, celebrating a total of six ictories. Alzen has twice won the Porsche Carrera Cup (1992 and 2007), and won the Porsche Supercup in 1994.
