Nico Menzel is a German sportscar and endurance racing driver rated 4,211, placing him in the professional band; this is a full-time participant in FIA Gold-graded GT and endurance competition, racing against other full-time professionals. His career spans eight seasons from 2019 to 2026 and comprises 29 starts across four series, all in GT and endurance formats. His single win came in the 2023 ADAC GT Masters, where he scored five podiums across twelve starts for Huber Motorsport, a team that has fielded drivers up to the 5,294-rated level. Beyond that season, his record is substantially winless; he has completed eight Nürburgring 24 Hours entries without a podium, six Asian Le Mans Series starts without a podium, and three GT World Challenge Europe races without points.[1]

Menzel's competitive standing emerges clearly from his record against professional-level rivals. Against Ralf Aron, a rated 4,755 full professional who won the 2015 Italian F4, Menzel finished ahead in eight of nineteen shared races but behind in eleven. Against Elias Seppänen, the 2023 ADAC GT Masters champion, Menzel was ahead four times in sixteen encounters but behind twelve. His head-to-head records against Sven Müller, Marco Mapelli, Benjamin Hites and Dennis Marschall all run negative. He has occasionally finished ahead of notably stronger drivers, most tellingly Maro Engel, the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe champion rated 6,735 as a Platinum professional, and Matt Campbell, a multiple-time WEC and 2025 IMSA WeatherTech GTP champion rated 6,393. These are isolated results rather than patterns and occur within his typical average finishing position of 14th place. Menzel remains active in endurance racing; he competed in the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours and is known as one of the team's lead drivers in the discipline.[2]
