Ellen Lohr

What grabs me about Ellen Lohr isn't the longevity, though racing NASCAR's Euro Series near 60 is wild on its own. It's that 1992 DTM win at Hockenheim, in a Mercedes 190E, in a paddock built almost entirely by and for men. Winning outright in a top-tier touring series wasn't a token result; it was raw competitive proof. I find drivers like her quietly more interesting than the headline stars, because the achievement does the talking. She turned a Mönchengladbach upbringing into a genuine place in German motorsport history, and she clearly still races for love.

Ellen Lohr (born 12 April 1965 in Mönchengladbach) is a German race car driver. She currently competes in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series, driving the No. 99 Chevrolet Camaro for Dexwet-df1 Racing in the Elite 1 class. Lohr is one of Germany's most accomplished female drivers, having won a DTM (German Touring Car Masters) race, on 24 May 1992 in a Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo2 on the Hockenheimring.
