Jochen Krumbach is a retired German driver with a Racer Rating of 3,861, placing him in the semi-professional band. This rating reflects a driver who competes at amateur level within sportscar and endurance racing; the FIA categorised him as Bronze, the amateur grade in GT competition. His record consists of three starts in the Nürburgring 24 Hours between 2019 and 2023, all for WTM by Rinaldi Racing, with an average finishing position of tenth place and no wins or podium finishes to his name.[1]
Krumbach's competition came against a field of established professionals. He raced repeatedly against Matteo Cairoli and Christopher Haase, both FIA Platinum graded drivers who finished ahead of him in all three shared races. Against Martin Ragginger and Stefan Aust, both professional-level drivers, Krumbach finished ahead twice each; he also beat Markus Winkelhock, an FIA Platinum driver, once. In isolated instances he finished ahead of much stronger competitors, including Kelvin van der Linde, 2025 GT World Challenge Europe champion, and Jordan Pepper, an established FIA Gold professional. These results represent single occasions rather than patterns of superiority, typical of an amateur driver occasionally outpacing professionals in the long-race format of endurance events.
The career shows the profile of an amateur gentleman driver who competed in one of motorsport's most gruelling events over a five-year period without graduating to stronger performances or higher-level competition. Krumbach retired from racing after the 2023 running of the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
