Mikkel Jensen (born 31 December 1994) is a professional Danish racecar driver currently serving as a factory driver for Peugeot Sport. He competes in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship and has previously held a factory driver position with BMW.

Karting

Jensen started his karting journey in 2010 at the age of 15, competing within Denmark for two seasons. After impressing during a trial for the ADAC Formel Masters series, he made his debut in 2013 with the Lotus-branded Motopark Academy outfit, concluding the season tenth overall with podium finishes at Spa-Francorchamps and the Sachsenring. The following year, he switched to Neuhauser Racing, where he claimed ten victories across tracks such as Oschersleben, Zandvoort, and the Nürburgring, ultimately securing the championship title.

In 2015, Jensen progressed to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship driving for Mücke Motorsport, achieving two podium results at Monza and finishing tenth in the final standings. He continued with Mücke Motorsport in 2016 but managed only one podium finish, ending the season twelfth overall.

Sportscar career

Jensen transitioned to sportscar racing in 2016, participating in the European Le Mans Series with Formula Racing at Le Castellet. Piloting a Ferrari 458 Italia GT2, he secured a second-place finish alongside teammates Mikkel Mac and Johnny Laursen.

Following his Formula 3 tenure, Jensen advanced to the LMP3 class in the ELMS, joining AT Racing alongside Alexander Talkanitsa Sr. and Jr. The squad achieved sixth place overall, highlighted by one victory at Spa-Francorchamps, along with three pole positions and fastest laps. Additionally, Jensen triumphed at the 6 Hours of Rome with AF Corse.

In 2018, Jensen became a reserve driver for BMW Team MTEK in the World Endurance Championship after being incorporated into BMW’s junior driver program. That year, he also competed in the 2018 ADAC GT Masters with BMW Team Schnitzer, partnering Timo Scheider to earn three podiums and finish sixth overall.

Elevated to BMW works driver status in 2019, Jensen contested all five rounds of the 2019 Intercontinental GT Challenge. Concurrently, he raced in ELMS LMP3 with Eurointernational, teaming up with Jens Petersen to capture the championship through wins at Monza, Silverstone, and Spa. The title was ultimately decided following a penalty imposed on rival Inter Europol Competition.

In 2020, Jensen stepped up to ELMS LMP2 with G-Drive Racing, joining forces with Roman Rusinov and Nyck de Vries. Despite securing three podium finishes including a victory in the season finale, setbacks at Spa and Monza prevented them from claiming the championship; they concluded third overall. Moreover, Jensen won his category at Petit Le Mans driving for Tower Motorsport By Starworks in the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

In 2021, Jensen was announced as part of the Peugeot Sport program for their Le Mans Hypercar entry in the upcoming 2022 WEC season. That same year, he participated in all seven IMSA SportsCar Championship events alongside Ben Keating at PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports, achieving victories at Sebring, Watkins Glen, and Laguna Seca to secure the LMP2 championship despite retiring at Daytona. In 2022, Jensen continued competing in IMSA endurance races with Keating and Scott Huffaker while also racing in ELMS LMGTE for Car Guy Racing by Kessel Racing. The IMSA trio earned two wins and captured the Michelin Endurance Cup; meanwhile, Jensen and Frederik Schandorff narrowly missed out on the ELMS title after a late-season surge including a Spa win. He also completed the final three WEC rounds alongside Paul di Resta and Jean-Éric Vergne.

Returning to WEC competition in 2023, Jensen teamed again with di Resta and Vergne in the Peugeot 9X8. Despite facing challenges throughout the season, they achieved Peugeot’s inaugural podium with this model by finishing third at Monza and ended eighth in the drivers’ championship. Simultaneously, Jensen competed in IMSA with TDS Racing, securing third place in LMP2 alongside Steven Thomas after recording two victories.

Formula E

In February 2025, Jensen took part in the Formula E rookie free practice session at the Jeddah ePrix, driving for Cupra Kiro. This event marked his return to single-seater racing since 2016. He secured third place and delivered a strong performance, leading the team to appoint him as their reserve driver.
