Niklas Krütten, GT World Challenge Europe Gold Cup Champion.
Niklas Krütten x Cool Performance
German racing driver Niklas Krütten trains on the GT Pro, and says that of all solutions, Cool Performance has always been his favourite. He won the 2023 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup Gold class title with Calan Williams in a Team WRT BMW M4 GT3, a year after taking his first ADAC GT Masters win at the Red Bull Ring in only his third race in the series with Schubert Motorsport. He has also raced LMP2 at the Le Mans 24 Hours with COOL Racing, took a podium on his Super GT debut at Okayama in 2024, and returns to Super GT in 2026 in the Velorex Ferrari 296 GT3.
