🇩🇪 Klaus Landgraf

Klaus Landgraf is a professional endurance racing driver competing at FIA Bronze level, the amateur grade in sportscar racing. He raced the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a national multiclass championship in which two or more drivers share each car across endurance rounds. Landgraf drove for his own operation, Landgraf Motorsport, in Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and GT3 machinery across seven seasons from 2011 to 2017.[1]

Over 34 starts he took two wins and finished on the podium in 18 races. His record centered on a tightly matched rivalry with Michael Flehmer and Rolf Derscheid, both multiple V4 class champions within the series; Landgraf ran closely with them across multiple seasons and occasionally finished ahead of them in shared-car endurance racing where co-driver performance shapes the result. His best result on record came against established professionals competing far above his regular level; he finished ahead of Laurens Vanthoor, an FIA Platinum driver and multiple champion across IMSA and the WEC, and Michael Christensen, the 2018 WEC LMGTE Pro champion, once each in their rare meetings.[2]

Landgraf was the strongest driver his own team fielded across the index, the only professional on a roster of amateurs and semi-professionals that took six wins over its entire history in the series.
