Tobias Hegewald (born 3 August 1989 in Neuwied) is a professional racing driver from Germany.

Karting

Hegewald spent three seasons competing in professional karting. Notably, he achieved fifth place in the 2002 Junior Monaco Kart Cup at the ICA Junior level, where he raced alongside future prominent drivers such as Alexander Sims, Jean Karl Vernay, Stefano Coletti, Jules Bianchi, and Sébastien Buemi.

Formula BMW

In 2005, Hegewald transitioned into open-wheel racing, taking part in both the Formula BMW ADAC and Formula BMW USA championships. He concluded the German series in 20th position with six points, while in the American series he secured 15th place, accumulating 22 points and earning two pole positions, including one at the support race for the 2005 Canadian Grand Prix in Montréal.

The following year, he improved to 13th place in the ADAC series with a total of 29 points across 18 races. Additionally, he participated in four rounds of the Formula BMW USA series, amassing 23 points and finishing 14th overall.

Formula Renault

For the 2007 season, Hegewald joined Motorsport Arena, based in Oschersleben, competing simultaneously in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup (NEC) and the Formula Renault Eurocup. Although his Eurocup results were modest, he contested strongly for the NEC championship against Frank Kechele, ultimately securing second place with three victories and ten podium finishes.

Continuing with the team renamed Motopark Academy in 2008, Hegewald remained active in both series. He advanced to fifth place in the Eurocup standings with two podiums but was often overshadowed by teammate Valtteri Bottas, who clinched the championship after a close contest involving Daniel Ricciardo, Andrea Caldarelli, and Roberto Merhi. In the NEC, Hegewald earned one win and finished third overall behind Bottas and António Félix da Costa, as Motopark achieved a clean sweep of the top four positions.

In early 2009, Hegewald competed in two rounds of the 2009 Formula Renault 3.5 Series season with Interwetten Racing, substituting for Mihai Marinescu, before committing to a full season in the 2009 FIA Formula Two Championship.

FIA Formula Two Championship

Following participation in Formula Palmer Audi during the off-season, Hegewald entered the revived FIA Formula Two Championship in 2009, driving car number 8. He finished sixth overall, highlighted by an impressive weekend at Spa where he secured pole positions, fastest laps, and victories in both races. After his stint in the GP3 Series, he returned to F2 competition in 2011.

GP3 Series

Hegewald took part in the inaugural GP3 Series season in 2010 with RSC Mücke Motorsport, racing alongside teammates Nigel Melker and Renger van der Zande.
