🇩🇰 Lars Nielsen

Lars Nielsen is a competitive amateur endurance racing driver who raced in multiclass championships at the Nürburgring for Max Kruse Racing. His indexed career spans two seasons, 2021 to 2022, comprising one start in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in a turbocharged SP 3T production car and one in the Nürburgring 24 Hours in a TCR touring car.[1]

Nielsen won his Langstrecken-Serie start in 2021, the sole victory in his record. His other outing came at the Nürburgring 24 Hours the following year. In shared-car endurance racing, a driver's performance is inseparable from their co-drivers' pace and reliability over a long race; Nielsen's single result speaks to one successful outing in that format rather than establishing a pattern across multiple events.[2]

The fields at the Nürburgring multiclass races include graded professionals and established series champions. Nielsen finished ahead of Andreas Gülden, a FIA Bronze-graded professional and multiple Langstrecken-Serie champion across three classes, and Markus Schmickler, an entry-level professional and former series champion in the V4 class. Max Kruse Racing, the team he drove for, has taken 35 wins across the index with drivers ranging to established professional level.
