His main work has been in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, where he has earned 11 podiums across 39 starts in various classes; he has also made three appearances in the Nürburgring 24 Hours, finishing on the podium twice, and one international outing in the 24H Series, which resulted in a podium.

Gresek typically finishes behind regular rivals Oliver Frisse, a competitive amateur with over a decade of Nürburgring racing, and Christopher Rink, an entry-level professional who has won the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie V4 championship four consecutive years. He has occasionally finished ahead of considerably stronger opposition; he beat Sho Tsuboi, an elite professional and five-time Super GT champion, twice in their meetings, and once finished ahead of Nirei Fukuzumi, an established professional and former Super GT GT300 champion. His regular team rent2drive-FAMILIA-racing fields a competitive amateur roster and has run drivers from established professional level down to developing amateurs.
