Michael Hermann Frei is a 17-year-old sim racer from Switzerland who has gained a lot of experience in endurance and sprint racing. Since his first encounters with real motorsport in the MX Academy (by Chris Möckli), the foundation was laid. In 2022, Michael spent a lot of time on motocross tracks and in the simulator and was able to gain a lot of valuable knowledge.
In 2023, Michael was able to take part in long-distance races with some experienced colleagues and gain important experience. He learned to be patient and to strike at the right moment. In mid-2023, Michael was invited by Next Neo-n Racing to be part of a professional e-sports team. Together, Michael and Next Neo-n Racing were able to develop their potential to the best of their ability.

The year 2024 was marked by consistent top-10 finishes and strong championship results in an international sprint series (LFM Pro Series). In August 2024, Michael had the opportunity to showcase his talent in a real Porsche GT4 race car for the first time. He successfully translated his simracing experience to the real-world racetrack, leaving a strong impression on W&S Motorsport.

For 2025, Michael is planning additional GT4 test days to further prepare for the next steps in his real-world racing career. His goal is to compete in a full racing season in 2026. Michael is currently actively looking for sponsors and partners who would like to support him on this path - with the common goal of hitting the ground running in real motorsport in 2026.
