Michael Krumm (born 19 March 1970) is a German former professional racing driver and current team manager at TOM'S in Super GT.[1] Krumm is best-known for his successes in the All-Japan GT Championship, where he triumphed in the GT500 class in 1997 and 2003 for TOM'S and Nismo, respectively. He also won the FIA GT1 World Championship in 2011.

Having begun his career in German lower formulae, Krumm went to Japan in 1994 after attaining numerous wins in German Formula Three. That year, he would win the Japanese Formula Three title and moved into Japanese F3000, where he remained intermittently for the next eight years. Krumm won races in JTCC but it was the All-Japan GT Championship, later known as Super GT, where the German would find his calling: after winning a race in his debut season, Krumm won the GT500 class title driving a Toyota Supra alongside Pedro de la Rosa in 1997.[2] Following a year in the Super Tourenwagen Cup, the German became a Nissan factory driver, for whom he raced for ten successive seasons, winning the 2003 title together with Satoshi Motoyama.

At the start of the 2010s, Krumm spent two seasons in the FIA GT1 World Championship, where he and Lucas Luhr won the 2011 title driving for JR Motorsports.[3] Krumm returned to Super GT in 2012, remaining until 2015, when he won his final race at Fuji for Kondo Racing before retiring from full-time competition.[4]

Krumm has attained minor success at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, being part of the third-placed Audi R8 lineup in a podium lockout for the German brand at the 2002 race, before finishing on the LMP2 podium in 2013.[5][6]

Biography

[edit]

Born in Reutlingen, Krumm married Japanese tennis player Kimiko Date on 1 December 2001 at St. Mary's Cathedral, Tokyo.[7][8] Kimiko Date announced their divorce on Twitter on September 26, 2016.[9]
