Alex Arkin Aka (born 7 August 2000) is a German racing driver currently competing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup. He is the son of Attempto Racing team boss Arkin Aka.[1]

Early career

[edit]

Aka made his car racing debut for his father's team in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Benelux in 2018. The following year, Aka contested a full season of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, though he only finished 26th in the points standings with a best race result of 14th.[2]

GT3 career

[edit]

GTWC Europe

[edit]

2020

[edit]

For the 2020 season, Aka switched to GT3 racing to compete in the Silver Cup class of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.[3] Partnering Nicolas Schöll for the whole campaign and Finlay Hutchison for its majority, Aka finished the year 18th in class with a best individual race finish of 24th at the Nürburgring.[4]

2021

[edit]

Aka competed in the Dubai 24 Hours at the start of 2021, before embarking on a double-campaign in the Silver Cup categories of the GTWC Endurance and GTWC Sprint cups.[5][6][7] The former proved to be a vast improvement to the previous year, as he, Dennis Marschall, and Max Hofer finished on the class podium in Germany, helping them to third place in the Silver Cup standings.[8][9] In the latter, Aka and Marschall scored a lone win at Valencia, which was the German's first victory in a subclass.[10]

2022

[edit]

Beginning 2021, Aka once again took part in the Dubai 24 Hours, where he and his teammates finished seventh, as well as racing in a full campaign of the Asian Le Mans Series.[11][12] This was preparation for Aka's third season in GT3, which he would once again contest in the silver class of the Endurance and Sprint cups.[13][14] The German showed progress, helping take a pole position alongside Nicolas Schöll and Marius Zug and setting a fastest lap in-class at Imola on his way to second in the Endurance Cup opener.[15] Further class podiums came at the 24 Hours of Spa as well as the Hockenheimring round, which contributed to the trio taking second in the championship.[16][17]

In the Sprint Cup, Aka and Schöll combined to claim fourth in the class standings, scoring one win at Zandvoort where Aka was able to fend off eventual champion Ulysse de Pauw in the closing laps and taking four further category podiums.[18]

2023

[edit]

Going into his fourth year of the Silver Cup, Aka would be joined by Lorenzo Patrese in the Sprint Cup, with Pietro Delli Guanti joining the pair in Endurance.[19] The trio fared well despite a retirement at the season-opening Imola round, coming back with a class win in Le Castellet.[20][21] They scored another podium at the Nürburgring and finished third in points. Aka and Patrese were embroiled in a title battle in Sprint, where they took a season-high five class victories with a best overall result of fourth in Valencia.[22] However, they would miss out on the championship courtesy of a Patrese-caused collision at the final race in Zandvoort, though their efforts still saw the pair pocket the overall GTWC Europe Silver Cup title.[23]

2024

[edit]

In 2024, Aka contested his first full season in the Pro class, partnering Ricardo Feller and Christopher Haase in the Endurance Cup and only the former in the Sprint Cup.[24] In the latter, Aka and Feller only scored four points finishes and a best result of fourth at Brands Hatch, leading to a ninth place overall.[25][26] The Endurance Cup campaign proved more fruitful; after a sixth place in Le Castellet, Aka and his teammates ran well during the 24 Hours of Spa, leading at the halfway mark.[27] They then finished the Nürburgring and Monza rounds in fourth place respectively, putting themselves into a close title battle with the Comtoyou Racing No. 7 and AF Corse No. 51 crews.[28][29] Having sat just three points behind the leaders going into the finale at Jeddah, the Attempto lineup finished the race sixth, thus ending up third in the Endurance Cup championship.[30][31]

2025

[edit]

Aka returned to the Silver Cup class ahead of 2025.[32] He finished third in class in the Endurance Cup, having won the category at Barcelona alongside Leonardo Moncini and Sebastian Øgaard by placing fifth overall.[33][34] Thanks to two class wins at Zandvoort and Misano meanwhile, Aka found himself competing for the class title in the Sprint Cup.[35][36][37] After a weaker final round, Aka also finished third in the Sprint Cup's class standings.[38]
