Niklas Krütten is a German racing driver whose career has taken him through single-seaters, LMP3 and LMP2 machinery before settling into GT racing, where he has become most closely associated with Team WRT in the GT World Challenge Europe. An alumnus of the ADAC Stiftung Sport programme, Krütten built a broad sportscar foundation prior to focusing on GT competition, and his prior form included a Gold Cup title in the category. His Racer DB record, however, lists his career as retired, with 25 starts, two wins and three podiums accumulated across his time in GT World Challenge Europe, and no drivers' championships to his name in the series.[1]
Krütten's Racer Rating of 3,054 places him 1018th among active drivers on the platform's Elo-style scale, reflecting a competitive but mid-pack standing relative to the sport's elite, who typically sit in the 10,000 to 11,500 range. His most recent campaign, the 2026 season, saw him start 13 rounds for Team WRT, taking a single podium finish without a win and ending the year 35th in the standings. Taken together, the record points to a driver who reached a high point with Gold Cup success but whose broader GT World Challenge Europe tenure, now closed out, settled into a steady, if unspectacular, level of results.[2]
