Comments
Mikkel Jensen drove his first 24H Le Mans in 2020. He finished 5th in class but he still made a huge impression.
His team qualified second in class and during the first hours they were fighting for the lead. But early in the evening they had to pit to fix the engine management system, which cost them 3 laps.
However, Mikkel Jensen and his team did not give up. On the contrary they put their heads down and gave it all. During the night and early morning they were the fastest team in LMP2 and they impressed massively by fighting their way back to 3rd place.
A podium looked secure but 30 minutes before the finish the suspension failed and the car hit the barriers. The driver managed to get back to the pit and the car was repaired and rejoined the race. But the result was now only 5th place in class.
