Career

Karting Ried has an impressive karting résumé, especially in his native Germany. From 2017 to 2018, he competed in Bambini karting, where he secured a best championship result of second in the ADAC Kart Masters. For the next three years, he went on to compete on OK-Junior karts, where his most successful year came in 2021, finishing sixth in both the Deutsche Kart Meisterschaft and the ADAC Kart Masters. He moved up to join the OK category in 2022, and immediately found himself at home by winning the ADAC Kart Masters. Ried then competed in gearbox karting in 2023, in preparation for Formula 4.

Formula 4 In February 2024, it was confirmed that Ried would be stepping up to cars, joining Monlau Motorsport for the Formula Winter Series. Ried contested the full season of the series, and had a tough spell in the series. He finished 38th in the standings, securing a best result of 17th. It was then announced that Ried would be continuing with Monlau for the F4 Spanish Championship. Improvement was evident in the first round, as he finished 14th in the third race of the round at the Circuito del Jarama. The third round of the season at Le Castellet saw Ried achieve his best finish of the season, as he finished 12th in the opening race of the round. At season's end, Ried found himself in 27th in the standings, finishing above all but one of his teammates.

Eurocup-3 In early 2025, Ried was confirmed to be joining the Eurocup-3 grid with Spanish outfit Drivex. He also joined the team for the Spanish Winter Series. He finished 22nd in the standings, with a best finish of 12th in the opening race at Jerez. However, before the main season began, he switched teams to Palou Motorsport, driving under the Sparco Palou MS banner.

Sportscar career In late 2025, Ried participated in the European Le Mans Series Rookie Test at Portimão, driving an LMP2 car for Proton Competition. He then made his competitive debut in prototype racing during the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series, competing for Bretton Racing in the LMP3 category at the 4 Hours of Sepang and 4 Hours of Dubai. In February 2026, during the Asian Le Mans Series finale weekend at the Yas Marina Circuit, Ried competed in the Gulf Radical Cup alongside Lucas Fluxá. The duo secured a second-place podium finish in the endurance race.

For the 2026 season, Ried committed to a dual program in the LMP3 category: competing in the European Le Mans Series with High Class Racing and the Le Mans Cup with Racing Spirit of Léman.

Personal life Ried's father is Christian Ried, who competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship. His elder brother Jonas competes in the European Le Mans Series.
