🇩🇰 Malthe Jakobsen

Malthe Jakobsen is an established professional sportscar driver with a Racer Rating of 5,727, placing him among the top tier of endurance competitors; this rating reflects a driver capable of winning consistently in the world's strongest prototype fields. Graded FIA Gold, he operates at the full professional level in GT and endurance racing. Across six seasons from 2021 to 2026, Jakobsen has completed 74 starts and accumulated 17 wins and 32 podiums, averaging a fifth-place finish. His record is built primarily on sustained success in the Asian Le Mans Series, where he has won nine races across four seasons and claimed three consecutive championships in 2023, 2024, and 2025 with Crowdstrike Racing by APR. The 2022 European Le Mans Series LMP3 title, won with Algarve Pro Racing, established his credentials in that series; he has since contributed six additional wins there from 25 starts.[1]

Jakobsen's head-to-head record against frequent rivals reveals a driver who consistently outperforms at his own level and occasionally troubles much stronger opposition. Against Matthew Bell, the 2020 IMSA Prototype Challenge and 2021 European Le Mans Series champion, Jakobsen finished ahead 21 times in 28 shared races. He holds positive records against three drivers rated above 5,600, Charles Milesi (16 ahead, 10 behind), Tom Dillmann (16 ahead, 10 behind), and Paul Di Resta, a Formula 3 Euro Series champion rated 5,372, whom Jakobsen beat 22 times to 11 (33 shared races). Notably, he has occasionally finished ahead of significantly stronger drivers: he recorded wins over Maro Engel, a 6,735-rated Platinum professional and 2024 GT World Challenge Europe champion, on five occasions, and isolated victories against Pato O'Ward and Scott McLaughlin, both elite-level drivers.[2]

Jakobsen currently competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Peugeot Totalenergies. His WEC record stands at 14 starts with one podium and no wins, the series presenting a step up in competition that has proved challenging; recent activity through June 2026 shows him securing pole position at Spa but suffering a retirement in that race, followed by the 24 Hours of Le Mans with limited impact. His established strength remains the Asian Le Mans Series, where his three consecutive titles and nine wins from 21 starts demonstrate a sustained record of excellence against the consistent field that series attracts.
