About
When Dirk Müller joined Multimatic as a development driver in late 2019 he was already well known by the Multimatic Motorsports team after racing for four years in one of the Ganassi Racing Ford GTs, in which he famously took the GTE Pro class win at Le Mans in 2016.
The German is a “Nürburgring specialist” so he is the ideal driver for some of the company’s high performance vehicle engineering programmes. As part of Müller’s role with Multimatic, he races Mercedes-AMG GT3 and GT4 cars, alongside his road car development duties.
Müller’s racing career began in the traditional way, in go-karts. He soon stepped up to cars, racing in various single-seater categories up to Formula 3. In 1996 his talents were spotted by Porsche who signed him up as a member of the German manufacturer’s junior team. During his career Müller has been a factory driver for Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Ford and Mercedes-AMG and has raced in all of the world’s top sportscar and touring car categories.
In addition to the 2016 Le Mans victory, Müller’s career highlights include winning the 2011 American Le Mans Series title with BMW. He has won multiple races in ALMS and more recently the WeatherTech Sportscar Championship, and he has taken multiple European and World Touring Car race wins. He was FIA GT Champion in 2007 and has taken overall and class wins at the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
