🇩🇰 Conrad Laursen

Conrad Laursen is a professional-level endurance and sportscar racing driver, rated 4,296, who competes as an FIA Silver graded driver in GT and long-distance racing. The Silver categorisation identifies him as a professional-level competitor, typically young or early-career, racing in the sportscar discipline. Across six seasons from 2021 to 2026, Laursen has accumulated 81 starts with 2 wins and 10 podiums, averaging a finishing position of P10.4. His career began in single-seat racing, competing in Italian F4 and ADAC Formula 4 during 2021 and 2022 for Prema Racing, where he recorded one win and four podiums over 16 ADAC starts but finished without a win in Italian F4. He has spent the last three seasons focused almost entirely on endurance and GT racing, principally with AF Corse in the European Le Mans Series, where he took a win from 19 starts and claimed 4 podiums.[1]

Laursen's record against top-tier rivals reveals a driver performing at the capable mid-field level of professional sportscar racing. Over 42 shared races, he maintained an even head-to-head record with Nikita Bedrin, a front-running professional driver, winning that contest 21 times to 21, demonstrating consistency against a peer. Against Maya Weug, another FIA Silver graded driver, Laursen clearly prevailed, finishing ahead 32 times to 7 losses in 39 races. He has also picked off isolated victories against genuinely elite drivers: six wins across 36 races against Andrea Kimi Antonelli, an elite professional and three-time champion; two wins against Arvid Lindblad, another elite professional; and single victories against Oliver Bearman and Eddie Cheever, both at the highest professional levels. These occasional successes against stronger drivers reflect the nature of endurance racing, where field strength and pit strategy matter significantly, rather than establishing Laursen as their equal in single-race pace.[2]

Currently, Laursen is active in both the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship with Kessel Racing and AF Corse. His recent activity includes entries in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe, where he competed in the Bronze Cup class and became 2025 champion in that category, and confirmation in the 2026 24 Hours of Le Mans entry, indicating continued work at the top of endurance racing.
