Nicklas Nielsen

Nielsen sat in a kart for the first time at a very young age: when he was 4 years old back in 2001. Over the years he competed in many international events and championships, winning ten major titles.[2]

In 2016, Nielsen made is single-seater debut in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship in Germany, finishing 8th and winning the Rookie's championship while racing for the Austrian Neuhauser Racing team, scoring 3 podiums and 2 fastest laps.

In 2017, Nielsen returned to the ADAC Formula 4 Championship, this time with the US Racing team. Although he did win a race[3] and scored 3 podiums, a team disqualification at the Lausitzring event and a major accident induced by a competitor which caused irreparable damage to his car for the rest of the event at the Nürburgring deprived him of a proper chance to fight for the title.

In 2018, not having a budget to continue single-seater racing, Nielsen participated in the Ferrari Challenge in Europe, which he completely dominated, taking 10 wins in 14 races. That performance was noticed by Luzich Racing which offered Nielsen to race along with Fabien Lavergne and established Ferrari GT-racer Alessandro Pier Guidi the 2019 European Le Mans Series Championship in the LMGTE Class, which they won.

Thanks to that performance, in 2019, Nielsen became an official Ferrari driver, racing for the Italian AF Corse team. He managed to finish third with teammates François Perrodo and Emmanuel Collard at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and became World Champion in the GTE-Am Class.[4]
