🇦🇹 Christian Engelhart

Christian Engelhart is a professional racing driver competing in European GT and endurance racing. Graded FIA Gold, the full-professional tier in sportscar competition, he drives primarily for GRT Grasser Racing Team in GT World Challenge Europe, where he has contested 50 starts since 2019. He has also raced the ADAC GT Masters shared-driver GT championship, the national DTM series, and multiclass endurance events including the Nürburgring 24 Hours and the 24H Series.[1]

Across 14 seasons and 116 starts, Engelhart has taken seven wins and 24 podiums. His most regular success has come in GT World Challenge Europe, where he has two wins and ten podiums, and in the ADAC GT Masters, where he won three races from 25 starts between 2021 and 2023. He also won a race in DTM during his three-season stint in that series, and scored once in IMSA WeatherTech competition. His record in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, raced annually since 2011, spans 15 starts with three podiums, and he continues to race the Nürburgring 24 Hours; his 2026 campaign is still in progress.[2]

Engelhart races consistently against established professionals and multiple champions. He is closely matched with Christopher Haase and Christopher Mies, both FIA Platinum-graded drivers; Mies holds two national championships including the 2021 ADAC GT Masters title. Engelhart has finished ahead of Sho Tsuboi, an elite professional and two-time Super GT champion, and Austin Cindric, an established professional and 2020 NASCAR Xfinity champion, though these meetings are isolated results rather than a pattern of regular competition at that level.
