Ralf Zensen was a club-level driver racing in national German endurance championships. His indexed career spans two seasons between 2014 and 2021, comprising three starts in multiclass racing at the Nürburgring; he drove near-standard production cars in the V4 class of the Langstrecken-Serie and a turbocharged production-based car in the SP 4T class of the 24 Hours.[1]
Zensen's sole podium came at the 2021 Nürburgring 24 Hours. His two starts in the Langstrecken-Serie in 2014 and 2015 yielded no podium finishes. The seven-year gap between his Langstrecken-Serie appearances and the 24 Hours marked the end of his racing career.[2]
He raced alongside established drivers in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a field that mixed amateur and semi-professional entrants with graded professionals. Christopher Rink, a four-time series champion and entry-level professional, and Danny Brink, a four-time champion and semi-professional, both raced the same V4 class. Zensen finished ahead of both drivers once each.
