Arno Klasen is an entry-level professional competing in multiclass endurance racing on the Nürburgring. FIA Bronze-graded, he races in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for équipe vitesse and the Nürburgring 24 Hours for BSL Racing Team, driving Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars, GT4 machinery, and Toyota GT86 cup cars across shared-driver grids that mix amateurs with full professionals.[1]
His record spans 17 seasons from 2010 to the present. He took the 2010 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie championship with Manthey Racing, and has accumulated 11 wins and 29 podiums across 74 starts in the main series; a further four podiums came in eight appearances at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. He finished ahead of established professional Timo Bernhard, a 2016 WEC LMP1 champion, once in direct competition, and the same applies to Max Verstappen, who entered the series for three races in 2026. His most consistent battles are against Frank Stippler, a Platinum-graded professional and 2021 Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie champion, and Klaus Abbelen, an entry-level professional like himself and a 2014 series champion; the head-to-head records against both read as closely matched.[2]
