Alexander Mattschull (born 2 March 1972) is a German businessman racing driver who last competed in the LMP2 class of the Asian Le Mans Series for DKR Engineering.
Personal life and business career Mattschull is the son of Arnold Mattschull, a former racing driver and former CEO of Takko Fashion. Alexander became co-CEO of the company in 2018, before being promoted to CEO as his father joined the company's advisory board. In the first quarter of 2021, the younger Mattschull left the company.
Racing career Mattschull began his car racing career in 1991, mainly competing in Porsche one-make series until 1995, most notably also racing in the 1994 BPR 4 Hours of Paul Ricard and the 1995 24 Hours of Daytona. Returning to racing in 2010, Mattschull primarily raced at the Nürburgring until 2013, which included his debut in the Blancpain Endurance Series for GT Corse in 2013 at the same venue, in which he scored a Gentleman class podium.
Returning to GT Corse by Rinaldi for 2014, Mattschull began the year by finishing fourth overall at the Dubai 24 Hour. Continuing with them for the rest of the year in the Blancpain Endurance Series, Mattschull took Am class wins at Monza, Silverstone and Le Castellet to secure runner-up honors in class. After a part-time season for Car Collection Motorsport in 2015, Mattschull joined Rinaldi Racing for the following season. Competing in the Pro-Am class in all but one race, Mattschull scored a class win at the Nürburgring and a podium at Monza to end the year ninth in the Pro-Am standings.
Continuing with Rinaldi Racing for 2017, Mattschull raced with them in both the Blancpain GT Series Endurance and Sprint Cups. In the former, Mattschull scored a class podium at Barcelona to finish 10th in the Pro-Am standings, while in the latter, he won all but three races in class to seal the Pro-Am title at the Nürburgring finale. Returning with the German team to race in the Endurance Cup the following year, Mattschull took class wins at Monza and the 24 Hours of Spa en route to a third-place points finish in Pro-Am. During 2018, Mattschull also raced in Blancpain GT Series Asia for GruppeM Racing Team, taking an overall win at Buriram, as well as a class win at Fuji along with three class podiums to take fifth in the GT3 Pro-Am standings. Towards the end of the year, Mattschull also represented Germany in the only edition of the FIA GT Nations Cup.
After winning the 2019 24 Hours of Spa in the Am class with Rinaldi, Mattschull remained with the team for 2020 as they made their debut in the LMP3 class of the Le Mans Cup. In his first season in the series, Mattschull scored a best result of fifth at Algarve alongside Nicolás Varrone as he ended the year 17th in the standings. Continuing with Rinaldi alongside Varrone for 2021, the pair took three second-place finishes between the Monza and Le Mans rounds as they finished third in points. Having been set to race in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series for Team Virage in 2022, Mattschull elected to remain in the Le Mans Cup for a third season as he joined Racing Spirit of Léman alongside Tom Dillmann. Alongside the Frenchman, Mattschull opened up the season by winning at Le Castellet and race one at Le Mans, before winning at Monza and finishing third at Algarve to clinch the LMP3 title.
Mattschull then raced in the LMP2 Pro-Am class of the following year's European Le Mans Series season, before then joining DKR Engineering to compete in the 2023–24 Asian Le Mans Series in LMP2. In his first season in the series, Mattschull scored two third-place finishes at Sepang and Abu Dhabi to take fifth in points. Remaining with DKR to race in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series for the rest of 2024, Mattschull took a lone podium at Le Castellet en route to a sixth-place points finish. During 2024, Mattschull also raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the same team, finishing third in the LMP2 Pro-Am class. At the end of the year, Mattschull joined Proton Competition to race in the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series, in which he scored a best result of fifth in both races at Abu Dhabi.
Having not raced for most of 2025 and only appearing as a reserve entry for the 24 Hours of Le Mans for DKR, Mattschull stayed with the Luxembourgish team to race in the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series, taking a lone win at Abu Dhabi to take fifth in the LMP2 standings. Following that, Mattschull was slated to compete for the team at the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans in LMP2 Pro-Am, but was replaced by John Farano before the event.
