Esteban Muth (born 30 October 2001) is a racing driver of Belgian-German descent, currently competing for Walkenhorst Motorsport in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series.

Career

Muth initiated his karting career in 2010, primarily participating in competitions held in Belgium and the Netherlands. He claimed victory in the Mini Parilla category of the Belgian Championship in 2012. Advancing to international karting events from 2015 onwards, he secured tenth place in the senior division of the 2017 World Karting Championship.

In 2018, Muth made his move into formula racing by joining the French F4 Championship, where he achieved two race wins at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and Circuito Permanente de Jerez, alongside several podium finishes, culminating in a seventh-place championship standing.

The subsequent year saw him take part in the Toyota Racing Series with M2 Competition, earning a win at Bruce McLaren Motorsport Park and concluding the season fifth overall. He also made his debut in the Eurocup Formula Renault series with M2, competing during a single race weekend at Monza. Additionally, Muth served as a substitute driver for YTB by Carlin in the Japanese Formula 3 Championship. Toward the end of 2019, he transitioned into GT racing by joining Strakka Racing to pilot a Mercedes-AMG GT3 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup.

During 2020, Muth took part in two rounds of the GT4 European Series with Selleslagh Racing Team behind the wheel of a Mercedes-AMG GT4. Despite being classified as a guest and therefore unable to score points, he managed to secure podium finishes at Spa.

Muth's debut in DTM came in 2021 when he competed for T3 Motorsport driving a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo. He amassed 41 points over the season and finished 13th in the overall rankings. The following year, he joined Walkenhorst Motorsport to compete in a BMW M4 GT3 alongside teammate Marco Wittmann.

In 2023, Muth broadened his racing portfolio by becoming a test driver for Vanwall Racing Team’s Le Mans Hypercar project, marking his entry into endurance racing.
