Autosport Top 50 of 2024: #12 Nicklas Nielsen
Top 50 Drivers of 2024
Autosport's team of expert journalists got together to try to assess who were the top 50 drivers of 2024. Here are the results.
Nicklas Nielsen proved how good he is in the final stages of the Le Mans 24 Hours as Ferrari made it two out of two in the big one after its return to top-flight sportscar racing as a factory.
The pressure on the Dane was intense as he saved fuel while keeping the gap to the chasing Toyota, a car that in the conditions at the end was faster.
