Danny Soufi

Danny Soufi (born 16 July 2003) is an American racing driver currently competing in the Prototype Cup Germany with Konrad Motorsport. In 2025, he became the Prototype Cup Germany Overall Champion together with teammate Pavel Lefterov.

Early career Soufi began his racing career at the age of ten, driving a Mazda Miata at Harris Hill Raceway (H2R) in San Marcos, Texas. Starting in 2014, he quickly developed his skills in the competitive Spec Miata series, a popular class known for its close and exciting racing.

By 2016, Soufi had secured his first major title, winning the H2R Miata Challenge Championship. Building on this success, his breakthrough year came in 2017, when he dominated the Texas Region, winning multiple titles as a rookie. These accolades included the NASA Spec Miata Championship and the Teen Mazda Challenge Championship for the Texas Region, alongside being named NASA Texas Rookie of the Year and NASA Texas Driver of the Year. For the 2024 Prototype Cup season, Soufi teamed up with experienced LMP3 competitor Torsten Kratz, and the duo enjoyed considerable success, finishing as vice champions nine points behind Gebhardt Motorsport drivers Markus Pommer and Valentino Catalano.

2025 Soufi successfully defended his Prototype Winter Series title in 2025, becoming a two-time champion with seven wins in eight races. He opened the season with double victories at Estoril and Portimão before continuing his dominance at Aragón, where he won Race 1 but finished second in Race 2 behind Laurents Hörr. Soufi then secured back-to-back wins in the final rounds, sealing the championship with a commanding points lead.

GT3

2023 In 2023, Soufi made his GT3 debut with Konrad Motorsport at the ADAC 24h Qualifying Race at the Nürburgring, driving a Lamborghini Huracán GT3. Prior to this, he participated in various rounds of the Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie with QTQ Race Performance to secure his Nordschleife permit, which allowed him to compete in endurance races at the famed circuit.

During the 2023 NLS season, Soufi shared the car with experienced drivers Luca Ludwig, Axcil Jefferies, and Yelmer Buurman. For the 2023 Nürburgring 24h Race, he once again teamed up with Yelmer Buurman and Axcil Jefferies, and they were joined by Pavel Lefterov. During the second qualifying session for the 24h race, a major incident occurred when Pavel Lefterov collided with a Porsche Cayman driven by Karl Heinz Meyer while coming onto Döttinger Höhe, resulting in significant damage to the car. This incident necessitated a major rebuild of the vehicle before the main race. In the main event, the team was forced to retire early in the morning due to a mechanical issue.

2024 In 2024, Soufi returned to compete in both the NLS and the ADAC 24h Race at the Nürburgring. For the Qualifying Race, he was joined by Thierry Vermeulen and Maximilian Paul. In the 24h race, which got cut short due to heavy fog, he teamed up with Maximilian Paul, Torsten Kratz, and Colin Caresani, finishing 15th overall and achieving third place in the Pro-Am class.

2025 In 2025, Danny Soufi participated in the GT Winter Series with Konrad Motorsport, sharing the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO I with German driver Carrie Schreiner. Schreiner competed in the sprint races, while Soufi joined her for the endurance events.

Throughout the season, the duo consistently performed well, securing third place in the GT3 class standings. Their collaboration culminated in a notable performance during the final race at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where they achieved a third-place overall finish. In this race, Soufi demonstrated exceptional defensive driving by holding off DTM driver Luca Engstler, securing their podium position.
