Nicolai Kjaergaard is a Gold-graded professional, the FIA's full-professional licence for sportscar and endurance racing. He raced single-seaters in British national championships before moving to GT and endurance competition. His career spanned eight seasons from 2016 to 2024, accumulating 105 starts across four series for Carlin, Fortec Motorsports, Garage 59 and Team Sorg Rennsport.[1]
He began in British F4 in 2016 with 25 starts for Fortec Motorsports. He progressed to GB3, where he spent two seasons from 2017 to 2018 and took five wins and ten podiums across 40 starts, all for Carlin. He then transitioned to GT and endurance racing; GT World Challenge Europe saw him compete over five seasons from 2020 to 2024 in 37 starts with Garage 59, while his final indexed activity came in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie in 2021 and 2022, where he raced in two classes for Team Sorg Rennsport across three starts and finished twenty-first in the championship standings in his final season.[2]
In GB3, Kjaergaard was closely matched with Jamie Chadwick, a three-time W Series champion who also raced at Indy NXT level. Against James Pull, a Gold-graded professional with significant experience across single-seaters and GT racing, Kjaergaard usually finished behind him but competed in the same fields throughout his career. His record includes isolated results against stronger drivers; he finished ahead of Matt Campbell, a Platinum-graded professional and two-time WEC LMGTE Am champion, and of Franco Colapinto, a Platinum-graded driver who went on to race Formula 1.
