Stefan Mücke (born 22 November 1981) is a German racing driver.
Born inBerlin, Mücke started his racing career in 1998, when he won theFormula BMW ADAC series, with his father'sMücke Motorsport team, also making their debut. He competed inGerman Formula Three for his father's team for the next three years, before moving to theDeutsche Tourenwagen Masters for 2002. He raced Mercedes forTeam Rosberg,Persson Motorsport and Mücke Motorsport in his four years in the series.
In 2007, Mücke moved into sports car racing,[1] in theFIA GT Championship for the AllInkl.com team in aLamborghini Murciélago R-GT, and in theLe Mans Series and the24 Hours of Le Mans forCharouz Racing Systems in theirLola. He continued to race with Charouz in 2008. In 2009 he competed at the Le Mans Series forAston Martin Racing. He recorded three consecutive top-ten finishes in the LMP1 class at Le Mans.
On 5 June 2011, Mücke was involved in incident withRichard Westbrook duringFIA GT1 World Championship race atSilverstone. First, Westbrook hit Mücke who spun as a result, while Westbrook damaged his own car. Mücke continued and clipped ahead of Westbrook who was driving down Hangar Straight. Both cars were wrecked as a result, and were out of the race. Mücke received 10-place grid penalty for the next race and he was also reported toDMSB to have his licence withdrawn.[2]
Mücke again had his aggressive driving style questioned after at least two incidents in the 2015 Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour. Both involved collisions with Bentleys on the difficultMount Panorama Circuit. The first took outDavid Brabham at 'The Cutting', the second on the last corner of the last lap forced Matt Bell wide, depriving the latter of a podium place. "I think the guy (Mücke) needs a bit of a talking to." said Bell's co-driver Guy Smith.[3]
For 2012, Mücke competed in theFIA World Endurance Championship withAston Martin Racing in a GTE-Pro class Aston Martin Vantage.
In the 80th, edition of the24 Hours of Le Mans in 2012, Mücke and the Aston Martin Racing got the third place in the GTE-Pro class along with his co-drivers theMexicanAdrián Fernández and theBritishDarren Turner, theirAston Martin Vantage 4.5 L-V8 covered a total of 332 laps (2,811.65miles), in theCircuit de la Sarthe without failure or serious mechanical problems.
