Conrad Laursen was born in Denmark and grew up in an environment where motorsport played a major role from an early age. Like many of his countrymen, he began his career in karting, where he not only learned the technical foundations of racing but also developed the feel for racing lines and braking points that would distinguish him later. The Danish karting scene, known for its competitiveness, provided him with the perfect stage to compete against fellow talents his age and achieve first successes.
Laursen’s transition from karting to junior formulas was consistent and purposeful. Through various formula series, he gathered important experience in handling increasingly powerful vehicles before making the leap into GT3 racing. There he established himself as a versatile driver who excelled in both sprint and long-distance formats. This versatility ultimately opened the door to the FIA WEC, where he found entry into the world of long-distance prototypes and had to assert himself in a high-caliber international field.
In recent years, Laursen has achieved several remarkable results that underscore his rise in international motorsport. In particular, in GT3 championships, he consistently demonstrated strong performances and repeatedly scored points, which brought him to the attention of larger teams. His move to the FIA WEC marked another milestone in his career and confirmed his reputation as a reliable, quick driver with development potential for the highest classes of long-distance racing.
For the 2026 season, Conrad Laursen approaches the FIA WEC with clear ambitions. Alongside his teammate, he wants to convert the experience gathered in recent years into consistent results and work his way further up the standings. The goal for the coming season is to take another step forward both individually and as a team and to establish himself permanently in the front middle field of the World Long-Distance Championship.
