I am Mikkel

At 16, I’m lucky to have competed in races across different categories, which has given me the chance to learn and grow. On every type of track and in every race, I always give my best to keep improving and show what I’m capable of.

A step forward:
My debut with Inter Europol in endurance racing
In 2024/25, I competed with Inter Europol Competition, the winning team of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in the Asian Le Mans Series — my debut in endurance racing.
After several years in karting and competing in the Spanish GT Championship, this experience marked a new direction in my career.
At just 16 years old, I had the opportunity to drive the Ligier JS P320 #43 in the LMP3 category during the 2024/2025 winter season, facing a demanding six-race calendar under the guidance of Sascha Fassbender, Team Principal at Inter Europol.
The Asian Le Mans Series is a benchmark for prototypes and GTs in Asia. With a 44-car grid, the level of competition was higher than ever. Driving the Ligier JS P320 #43 in LMP3 was an incredible challenge that helped me improve my pace and strategy in endurance racing.
After this milestone in my development as a driver, I remain focused on new challenges in endurance.
Speed and precision, my personal trademark
