Marco Lorentz Sørensen (born 6 September 1990) is a Danish professional racing driver and official Aston Martin factory competitor, currently active in the FIA World Endurance Championship as well as Super GT representing D'station Racing. He earned the World Endurance Championship titles in the LMGTE Pro category in both 2016 and 2019–20, and later secured the LMGTE Am championship in 2022. Sørensen's career also includes participation in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series and GP2 Series, alongside being a member of the Renault and Lotus Formula One junior development programs. His younger sibling, Lasse, last competed in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.

Career

Sørensen launched his motorsport journey in karting back in 1994 before transitioning to formula racing in 2006, competing in Formula Ford Denmark. Despite only contesting half of the season in 2008, he achieved fourth place overall in the ADAC Formel Masters championship.

In 2009, he became part of the Renault Driver Development Programme alongside Davide Valsecchi and Charles Pic. That year, he stepped up to compete in both the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0. Unfortunately, financial difficulties led to the termination of the development program, which interrupted his career momentum.

Midway through 2010, Sørensen secured a seat with Brandl Motorsport in the German Formula Three championship, where he finished as runner-up in 2011 following a tight contest with champion Richie Stanaway. Additionally, he claimed victory in a reverse-grid race at Silverstone during the 2011 Formula 3 Euro Series while driving for Mücke Motorsport.

Without a confirmed drive for 2012 initially, Sørensen accepted an opportunity to test with Lotus in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, earning a race seat alongside Stanaway. He celebrated his maiden win at Spa, narrowly missed further victories due to technical setbacks and a puncture, and ultimately ended the season tied for fifth place overall.

Although facing engine reliability issues during the 2013 campaign, he secured pole positions and won both races held at the Red Bull Ring.

GP2 Series

Sørensen stepped into the GP2 arena in 2014 with MP Motorsport, taking over from Tio Ellinas starting at Silverstone, and notched his first GP2 victory at Sochi. The following year, he joined Carlin for his first complete GP2 season, replacing Felipe Nasr who had advanced to Sauber's Formula One team.

Formula One

In September 2013, Sørensen conducted tyre testing duties for the Lotus F1 outfit at Circuit Paul Ricard, subsequently becoming one of their official test drivers.

FIA World Endurance Championship

Sørensen became a full-time factory driver for Aston Martin Racing in 2015, teaming up with fellow drivers Nicki Thiim and Christoffer Nygaard. Following Aston Martin Racing’s decision to reduce their GTE Pro entries after 2015, Sørensen continued his partnership with Thiim. Together they achieved their inaugural endurance victory at Austin during the 2016 season and went on to win the GT Championship that year with their #95 car affectionately dubbed "Dane Train."

On 19 January 2022, it was announced by TF Sport that Sørensen would return for a full World Endurance Championship season behind the wheel of the #33 Aston Martin Vantage AMR, sharing driving duties with teammates Ben Keating and Florian Latorre.

Although not competing full-time throughout 2023, Sørensen participated in the prestigious 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, racing for GMB Motorsport’s GTE Am entry alongside co-drivers Jens Reno Møller and Gustav Birch.
