Career.
Karting.
Nielsen began karting when he was 4 years old back in 2001. He competed in many international events and championships, winning ten major titles. 
Lower formula.
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 championship, this time with the US Racing team. Although he did win a race 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. 
Sports cars.
In 2018, not having the budget to continue single-seater racing, Nielsen participated in the Ferrari Challenge in Europe where he took 10 wins in 14 races. That performance was noticed by Luzich Racing which offered Nielsen a race seat alongside Fabien Lavergne and established Ferrari GT-racer Alessandro Pier Guidi in the 2019 European Le Mans Series in the LMGTE Class, which they won. 
In 2019, Nielsen became an official Ferrari driver, racing for the Italian AF Corse team. He finished third with teammates François Perrodo and Emmanuel Collard at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and became World Champion in the GTE-Am Class.
