He achieved considerable success in the 2014 season, sharing the winning Audi R8 LMS in the Nurburgring 24 Hours, and finishing second in the GTD class of the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship in America.
Born in Kulmbach, Bavaria, Haase began racing in 2006 in the ADAC Dacia Logan Cup, before moving to the ADAC GT Masters series in 2007, which he won.[6] The following season, he remained in the series and finished second, in addition to winning the GT4 European Cup.[7] After winning the 2009 GT3 European title with Phoenix Racing, the German proceeded to compete in the FIA GT1 World Championship in 2010.[8]
Having become an Audi factory driver in 2011, Haase entered the Blancpain Endurance Series in 2012, winning it for Team WRT.[9] He spent two seasons in the IMSA SportsCar Championship in 2014 and 2015 with Paul Miller Racing, scoring eight podiums and winning a lone race at Petit Le Mans.[10] From 2016 onward, the German driver split his attention between the Blancpain Endurance and Blancpain Sprint Series, driving for Saintéloc Racing until and including 2021. That year also saw him make his DTM debut, competing for Team Rosberg at the Nürburgring.[11]
In 2022, Haase switched to Tresor by Car Collection, with whom he would take third in the GTWC Europe Sprint Cup, his best placing in the championship.[12] Subsequently, Haase drove for Comtoyou Racing in both series before moving to Tresor Attempto Racing in 2024.[13][14]
