Theodor Peter Roos Jensen (born 30 June 2006) is a Danish racing driver, who is competing in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series with CLX Motorsport.

Career

[edit]

Junior formulae

[edit]

Formula 4

[edit]

Having foregone karting, Jensen began his car racing career in his home country, competing in the 2022 F4 Danish Championship.[1] Driving for Team Formula Sport, Jensen scored a lone win at Padborg Park and finished seventh in the standings. He also contested the final three rounds of the Spanish F4 Championship with Saintéloc Racing.[2]

At the start of 2023, Jensen contested F4 UAE with Saintéloc, where he did not score points.[3] This trend continued into Jensen's full Spanish F4 season, where he was classified 30th in the championship after scoring a best race finish of 12th in Barcelona.[4][5] He also drove in several rounds of the Danish F4 season, winning four races.

Formula Regional

[edit]

Jensen moved up to Eurocup-3 in 2024 with Palou Motorsport.[6] He cited a driver-focused environment as the reason for his switch, which he made in view of switching to the Road to Indy ladder in the future.[7] After the more experienced Kirill Smal left the series following the second round, Jensen became Palou's main points scorer, eventually finishing 14th in the standings.[8][9] His highlight performance came at the Algarve, as Jensen went from 20th to seventh during race 3.[10]

Sports car racing

[edit]

Having made his first foray into sports car racing in the Danish Endurance Championship in 2023, Jensen entered the LMP3 prototype class in 2024. He first drove a Duqueine M30 - D08 for TS Corse in the opening round of the Ultimate Cup Series, before switching to the Ligier JS P320 chassis with Bretton Racing for round 4 at Mugello.[11][12] Before the latter event however, Jensen partnered bronze-ranked Ben Stone for the Spa-Francorchamps event of the Le Mans Cup.[13] During a chaotic race, Jensen made brave overtakes on Adrien Closmenil and Samir Ben just before the end to finish second on the road; the #62 would be promoted to first after the race due to a penalty for the initial race winners, giving Jensen his maiden win on an international stage.[14] At the following LMC round in Mugello, Jensen and Stone earned second place, a result that helped Bretton to finish seventh in the standings.[15][16] After the season ended, Jensen set the fastest time at the post-season test with R-ace GP.[17]

During the winter, Jensen competed in the Asian Le Mans Series alongside bronze-ranked Jens Reno Møller and the swapping pair of Dan Skočdopole and Griffin Peebles.[18] Two fourth places in Sepang were followed by a standout drive from Jensen at Dubai, where he drove away from the chasing Matteo Quintarelli at the end of race 1 to claim victory.[19] Second places in Dubai race 2 and Abu Dhabi race 1 set up a title decider on Yas Island, as Jensen and Møller were five points behind Quintarelli.[20][21] Third place on Sunday was enough for Jensen to clinch the LMP3 title.[22]

Jensen signed up to compete in the European Le Mans Series, piloting the new Ligier JS P325 alongside Adrien Closmenil and bronze-ranked Paul Lanchère.[23][24] With a fast car, proven by Closmenil taking pole position, Jensen and his teammates took victory.[25][26][27]
