Dennis Olsen is a professional driver and FIA Platinum-graded endurance specialist who races across multiple series, most recently for Ford Racing in IMSA and for Porsche Team SSR Performance in DTM. He has contested international multiclass endurance championships, national touring car racing and GT3 competition over a 16-year career spanning 143 starts across Formula Renault, DTM, WEC, IMSA WeatherTech, GT World Challenge Europe, and the Nürburgring 24 Hours.[1]
His record splits across endurance and single-seater formats. In Formula Renault Eurocup he took three wins and six podiums from 28 starts. His touring car racing in DTM brought one win and five podiums across two seasons. In endurance racing, Olsen has competed in WEC, IMSA WeatherTech, GT World Challenge Europe and multiclass 24-hour racing at the Nürburgring, accumulating five IMSA podiums including two wins, two WEC podiums, one GT World Challenge Europe finish on the podium, and steady appearances in the Nürburgring 24 Hours across eight editions. He currently sits 13th in the 2025 WEC championship standings with one podium from eight rounds raced.[2]
Olsen runs alongside established professionals in every series. In WEC and IMSA he meets Platinum-graded drivers who have won major endurance titles; in DTM, his regular opponents include Kelvin van der Linde, a 2025 GT World Challenge Europe champion, against whom he is closely matched, and Luca Stolz, an established Platinum-graded professional whom he usually finishes behind. In his early career he started races on the same grids as generational drivers George Russell and Max Verstappen, finishing ahead of them on single occasions in shared-car endurance entries where co-driver performance shapes the overall result.
