Martin Ragginger

Martin Ragginger (born 29 March 1988 in Wals-Siezenheim) is an Austrian racing driver who last competed for Neuhofer Rennsport in the 24H Series Middle East.

A Red Bull and Porsche junior in his youth, Ragginger has tasted success in the ADAC GT Masters, and won the 24 Hours of Spa overall in 2010 aged only 22. He has raced for Falken Motorsports in both the American Le Mans Series and Nürburgring 24 Hours.

Career Ragginger began karting in 1999. During his time in karts, Ragginger joined the Red Bull Junior Team in 2002 and stayed with them as he made his single-seater debut in 2005 in Formula BMW ADAC. Spending two seasons in the series, Ragginger finished eighth in points in both seasons, scoring two wins in his sophomore campaign before leaving single-seaters and the Red Bull Junior Team.

Switching to sports car racing for 2007, Ragginger became a member of the Porsche Junior Team ahead of his maiden season in Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. In three years as a Porsche junior, Ragginger most notably finished 11th in the GT2 standings of the 2009 FIA GT Championship after sharing the car with Emmanuel Collard at the season-ending round at Zolder.

Despite leaving the Porsche Junior Team in 2010, Ragginger drove for Porsche-fielding teams that year in various one-off appearances, most notably winning the 24 Hours of Spa with BMS Scuderia Italia. That year, Ragginger's main programmes were in Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and the GT2 class of the Le Mans Series, in which he finished fifth and third, with four podiums in the former and a lone podium at Le Castellet in the latter.

After another season consisting of one-off appearances for Porsche-fielding teams, Ragginger made his full-season debut in ADAC GT Masters and Porsche Carrera Cup Asia in 2012. In maiden season in both series, Ragginger scored two pole positions and a best result of fourth in the former, whilst taking two wins in the latter on his way to fourth.

Returning to both championships for 2013, Ragginger remained with Team Eagle to compete in Carrera Cup Asia, whilst switching to Tonino powered by Herberth Motorsport for ADAC GT Masters. In Asia, Ragginger won five races and was once again runner-up in points, before finishing third in the Invitational race at Macau. In the latter, Ragginger took his maiden ADAC GT Masters win at Lausitzring on his way to fourth in points despite missing one round. During 2013, Ragginger won the A6 Am class of the Dubai 24 Hour and was given the Porsche Cup trophy for being the highest-scoring privateer Porsche driver during the year.

After coming runner-up in Carrera Cup Asia and making part-time appearances in ADAC GT Masters the following year, Ragginger returned to both championships in 2015. Racing for Team Porsche Holding in the former, Ragginger scored a lone win and ended the season fifth in points despite missing four races. In ADAC GT Masters, Ragginger raced for Schütz Motorsport, with whom he finished 13th in points with, after scoring three podiums in five rounds he competed in. Also during 2015, Ragginger finished third overall in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring and won on his Trans-Am debut in the TA3-I class.

For 2016, Ragginger switched to Herberth Motorsport for ADAC GT Masters, whilst remaining with Porsche Holding in Carrera Cup Asia and Falken Motorsports in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. In the former, Ragginger won at the Lausitzring and Hockenheimring to finish fifth in points alongside Robert Renauer. In Asia, Ragginger won at Marina Bay and Shanghai en route to a ninth-place points finish. During 2016, Ragginger also finished ninth in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring with Falken Motorsports.

Ragginger then shifted his focus to Asia for 2017, racing in both Porsche Carrera Cup Asia and the China GT Championship. Taking four wins in the former, Ragginger ended the season runner-up to Chris van der Drift, whilst finishing fifth in the China GT Championship. In the following two seasons, Ragginger stayed in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia, finishing third and second in the points in 2018 and 2019, respectively. During these three seasons, Ragginger, who had been racing with Falken Motorsports since 2010, kept his role as a driver in both the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.

Following that, Ragginger mostly remained with Falken Motorsports across the next three seasons in both the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. In 2020, Ragginger also returned to the Trans-Am Series, taking a win at Road Atlanta in his fourth start in the series.

Ragginger then returned in Porsche Carrera Cup Asia across the next two years for Team Porsche Holding, finishing fourth in both seasons and scoring just two wins, both coming in 2024. Ragginger also retained his drive with Falken Motorsports in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, taking a lone win in 2024 at the second 24h Nurburgring qualifier race. In early 2026, Ragginger raced at the Dubai 24 Hour for Neuhofer Rennsport in the 992 class.
