Laurents Hörr (born 11 September 1997) is a professional German racing driver actively competing in the European Le Mans Series.
Early single-seater years
Hörr launched his open-wheel racing journey in 2014 with Dutt Motorsport, a team he co-founded, participating in the Formula Renault 1.6 Northern European Cup. The following year, he achieved his inaugural open-wheel victory within the Formula Renault 1.6 Nordic series. In 2016, he advanced to the more competitive Formula Renault 2.0 category but concluded his tenure in junior formula racing after the 2017 season due to financial limitations.
Transition to sports car competition
In 2018, Hörr shifted focus to sports car racing, joining the French outfit CD Sport for the Michelin Le Mans Cup and finishing seventh overall in the LMP3 division. The next year, he signed with Luxembourg’s DKR Engineering, where he secured two wins and five podium finishes en route to capturing the LMP3 class championship alongside teammate François Kirmann.
At the start of 2020, Hörr stepped in for David Heinemeier Hansson at Team Project 1 during the final four rounds of the 2019–20 FIA World Endurance Championship, earning pole position and a podium finish (third) at Circuit of the Americas. Later that season, partnering with Jean Glorieux, he contributed to DKR Engineering’s fourth consecutive Michelin Le Mans Cup championship.
Hörr returned to DKR Engineering for a full campaign in the European Le Mans Series in 2021, where he claimed three race victories and clinched the LMP3 title. That year, he was also selected to participate in the FIA World Endurance Championship rookie test held in Bahrain. In 2022, Hörr made his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans competing in the LMP2 category with DKR Engineering.
For the 2023 season, Hörr joined IDEC Sport as a full-time driver in the European Le Mans Series’ LMP2 class alongside Paul-Loup Chatin and Paul Lafargue. Concurrently, he competed in the Prototype Cup Germany with Koiranen Kemppi Motorsport, securing one win and two additional podiums to finish sixth overall. In ELMS, he achieved two podium placements over six races, concluding fifth in the LMP2 championship standings.
