Michael Hedlund was an entry-level professional competing in multiclass endurance and sprint racing. He raced a Porsche in the PCA Club Racing GTC4 class, a national championship mixing amateurs and professionals on shared circuits, and campaigned a GTE car in the WEC's LMGTE Am class for Gulf Racing UK, competing against an international field that included graded professionals and semi-professionals.[1]
Hedlund's indexed career spans two seasons and three starts. He won once in PCA Club Racing in 2011. His most substantial campaign came in 2017, when he contested two WEC rounds for Gulf Racing UK, finishing tenth in the championship standings. During that season he made his Le Mans 24 Hours debut.[2]
His WEC appearances placed him in a field that included Gold-graded professional Benjamin Barker, a competitor with extensive experience across WEC, IMSA WeatherTech and GT World Challenge Europe; Hedlund finished ahead of Barker once across their meetings. He also raced against Hiroki Katoh, a Bronze-graded professional with over 120 Super GT starts, and defeated him once.
