🇩🇪 Markus Nölken

Markus Nölken is a competitive amateur racing in multiclass endurance championships at Germany's Nürburgring, where he competes in the BMW M240i Racing and Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport classes. He drives for Renazzo Motorsport and holds FIA Bronze grading, the amateur designation in endurance racing. His five seasons on record, from 2022 to 2026, span the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and the Nürburgring 24 Hours, a field that mixes amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals in the same race.[1]

Across 31 starts, Nölken has taken one podium finish. He is a regular in both series, most often competing against Aaron Wenisch, a Silver-graded entry-level professional, and Heiko Eichenberg, a multiple class champion of the Langstrecken-Serie who races at Bronze level. Nölken typically finishes behind both. He has finished ahead of established professionals including Christopher Lulham, a Gold-graded driver with GT World Challenge Europe and Asian Le Mans Series experience, and Thierry Vermeulen, also Gold-graded, who has raced in GT World Challenge Europe, DTM and ADAC GT Masters. His most recent activity is the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours, one round raced so far in what remains a full season still in progress.[2]
