🇨🇭 Patric Niederhauser

Patric Niederhauser is an established professional sportscar driver rated 5,334, placing him in the professional tier; he holds the FIA Platinum grading for GT and endurance racing, denoting a full-time professional competing at the highest level of that discipline. His career spans 11 seasons from 2012 to 2026 across 159 starts, yielding 9 wins and 29 podiums. He came through the junior formula ranks with 4 wins in GP3 Series across 2012 to 2014 before limited attempts at higher single-seater categories in 2015 and a solitary WEC appearance in 2013 yielded no results of note. His focus shifted decisively to GT racing from 2020 onward, where he has built his career as a Lamborghini factory driver.[1]

The bulk of Niederhauser's record comes from GT World Challenge Europe, where 60 starts have yielded 3 wins and 15 podiums for Rutronik Racing. He has competed regularly in that series since 2020 and has also contested the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie with 2 wins and the ADAC GT Masters; a single DTM appearance in 2023 produced no points. His average finishing position across all racing sits at P9.7, reflecting consistent top-ten capability. Head-to-head against his frequent rivals in GT racing, Niederhauser holds a mixed record. He has finished ahead of stronger drivers more often than behind them against elite professionals such as Maro Engel and Charles Weerts, both multiple GT World Challenge Europe champions, winning 47 of 70 and 47 of 65 shared races respectively. His record against Raffaele Marciello, a triple series champion across Formula 3 European, ADAC GT Masters and GT World Challenge Europe, is considerably tighter at 18 wins against 53 losses in 71 meetings, placing him clearly the junior partner in that pairing.[2]

Niederhauser remains actively competing in 2026 as part of Rutronik Racing's Lamborghini factory effort in GT World Challenge Europe, where his campaign targets race wins and titles.
