Mattis Pluschkell (German pronunciation: [ˈmattis plʊʃˈkɛl]; born 9 July 2004) is a German racing driver who most recently competed in the Le Mans Cup and the Prototype Cup Europe in the LMP3 class with BWT Mücke Motorsport. He competed in the Prototype Cup Germany now defunct, where he finished second.
Pluschkell began his racing career relatively late, at the age of 18. He debuted in the ADAC Tourenwagen Junior Cup driving a Volkswagen Up GTI. Pluschkell won in just his second start at the Hockenheimring. He carried this momentum throughout the rest of the season, adding four more wins and seven total podiums.
Pluschkell's main campaign during 2024 would be in the Junior Cup of the ADAC GT4 Germany series. He finished second in race one at the Nürburgring and finished 11th in the championship.
Pluschkell moved up to GT4 machinery in 2024 and competed in three races of the 2024 GT4 Winter Series. He finished on the podium twice in his three starts.
Pluschkell returned to the series in 2025, once again driving for BWT Mücke Motorsport. He won in all three of his starts at Valencia.
In 2025, Pluschkell moved up LMP3 machinery and compete in the 2025 Prototype Cup Germany driving for BWT Mücke Motorsport. This was his debut in prototypes. Joining Pluschkell was young Polish driver Maksymilian Angelard. The two drivers started the season off well, finishing second in their first race at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and being the highest place Junior drivers in race one. The following round at the Hockenheimring saw continued success for Pluschkell, inheriting third place in race one following a disqualification for the No. 80 car of Mikkel C. Johansen and Óscar Tunjo. Ahead of race two, Pluschkell qualified on pole, his first in the series. Pluschkell started the race for the team, and stayed in the lead before handing the car to Angelard. The Polish driver continued to lead the race and secured the duo's maiden victory in the series. The next four races proved to be successful for Pluschkell and Angelard, with their lowest finish being fifth in both races at the Norisring, and their highest being third at the Lausitzring. During race two at the Nürburgring, Pluschkell was closing in on the No. 3 car of Sven Barth for third place. Pluschkell went for a move on Barth, who defended the position and made contact with Pluschkell, causing him to spin. The No. 3 car received a penalty for causing the collision, which allowed Pluschkell and Angelard to finish in third. Competitors Danny Soufi and Pavel Lefterov clinched the title with one round to spare, however, the fight for second in the championship as well as the Junior championship was still on. Heading into the final round of the championship at the Red Bull Ring, Pluschkell and Angelard were competing against their sister No. 8 car of Riccardo Leone Cirelli and Mathias Bjerre Jakobsen for second in the standings. Despite the No. 8 car winning both races, Pluschkell and Angelard hung onto second place in the championship by just two points. They also secured the Junior Championship being the highest placed Junior drivers in the championship.
Pluschkell returned to the newly renamed Prototype Cup Europe for 2026 season, driving the No. 8 Duqueine D09 for BWT Mücke Motorsport. Partnering him would be Danish driver Tobias Bille Clausen. Pluschkell put the car on pole in qualifying for race one at Mugello. During the race, Pluschkell created a gap of 15 seconds to second place Maxim Dirickx. When Clausen took over duties from Pluschkell, Dirickx slowly closed in on the Danish driver, eventually overtaking him for the lead. Pluschkell and Clausen would have to settle for second in the end. Following a fourth place finish in race two, the duo exited the weekend third in the championship.
Alongside his campaign in the Prototype Cup Europe, Pluschkell reunited with Maksymilian Angelard to compete in the Le Mans Cup in the LMP3 class for BWT Mücke Motorsport.
