Marco Sørensen

Marco Lorentz Sørensen (born 6 September 1990) is a Danish racing driver and Aston Martin factory driver who is currently set to compete in the FIA World Endurance Championship and in Super GT for D'station Racing. He won the World Endurance Championship in the LMGTE Pro class in the 2016 and 2019–20 seasons, and in the LMGTE Am class in 2022. He has also previously competed in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series and the GP2 Series, and is a former member of the Renault and Lotus F1 junior teams. His younger brother, Lasse, is also a racing driver who last competed in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series.

Career Sørensen during Race 1 of the 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 Series season at Moscow Raceway. Sørensen made his debut in karting back in 1994 and had his first real race in 1998. He began Formula racing in 2006 with Formula Ford Denmark. In 2008, he was able to place fourth in the ADAC Formel Masters despite only completing half of the season.

Sørensen was taken under Renault's wing and became a part of the 2009 Renault Driver Development Programme with Davide Valsecchi and Charles Pic. That made him able to move up to Formula Renault in 2009 with Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup and the Eurocup. Later that year, the programme was shut down because of financial problems which set Sørensen's career back.

In the middle of 2010, Sørensen was able to secure a drive in the German Formula Three series, with Brandl Motorsport. He continued in 2011 and finished runner-up in the series after a tough battle with eventual champion Richie Stanaway. He also had one-off entry at Silverstone in 2011 Formula 3 Euro Series with Mücke Motorsport, winning the reverse-grid race.

Sørensen had no plans for 2012 until Lotus called him and offered a test in the Formula Renault 3.5, in which he impressed sufficiently to be offered a seat alongside former title rival Stanaway at the team.

Søresnen took his first win in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series at the first race at Spa, having already retired from a commanding position due technical problems in the second race at Aragon. Another potential win slipped from Sørensen's grasp at the second race at Silverstone, suffering a puncture whilst leading comfortably on the final lap. After two more second-place finishes, he finished the season in joint fifth position with Nick Yelloly. Sørensen had another disaster season with engine problems in 2013 Formula Renault 3.5, but managed to take pole and victory in both races at Red Bull Ring.

GP2 Series

In 2014, Sørensen switched to GP2, replacing Tio Ellinas at MP Motorsport for the races at Silverstone and beyond. That same year, he took his first GP2 win in Sochi.

Sørensen switched to Carlin, replacing the Sauber-bound Felipe Nasr, for the 2015 season, his first full season in GP2.

Formula One In September 2013, Sørensen undertook a tyre test at Circuit Paul Ricard with the Lotus F1 team and has become one of Lotus's test drivers.

FIA World Endurance Championship

In 2015, Sørensen joined Aston Martin Racing alongside Nicki Thiim and Christoffer Nygaard. He also became a full-time factory driver for Aston Martin. He continued with Nicki Thiim after 2015 where Aston Martin Racing cut one of their GTE Pro cars out of the series. Sørensen took his first endurance win in Austin with Thiim in 2016, and the pair would go on to win the GT Championship. As the No. 95 entry has mostly been driven by Sørensen and Thiim, it has come to be known as the Dane Train.

On 19 January 2022, TF Sport announced that Sørensen would make a full-season return to the World Endurance championship in 2022, piloting the No. 33 Aston Martin Vantage AMR alongside Ben Keating and Florian Latorre.

Although Sørensen didn't return to the series in 2023, he would still be present on the grid at Le Mans. Sørensen joined GMB Motorsport's GTE Am class entry for the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, competing alongside Jens Reno Møller and Gustav Birch.
