Early career

Karting

Jensen began karting in 2010 and raced in his native Denmark for the majority of his career. He ended his karting career two years later, moving into single-seaters.

ADAC Formel Masters

2013 saw his debut in the ADAC Formel Masters championship with the Lotus-monikered Motopark Academy team. Jensen finished tenth in the championship with podiums at Spa and the Sachsenring.[1]

Jensen remained in the series in 2014, moving to the Neuhauser Racing team. He achieved ten wins at Oschersleben, Zandvoort, Spielberg, the Slovakia Ring, the Nürburgring and Hockenheim on his way to the championship title.[2]

FIA European Formula 3 Championship

In 2015, Jensen will graduate to the FIA European Formula 3 Championship, joining Mücke Motorsport.[3]

Hypercar career

At the start of 2021, it was announced that Jensen would become part of the Peugeot Sport Le Mans Hypercar outfit for the 2022 WEC season.[4] Partnering Paul di Resta and Jean-Éric Vergne, the team competed in the final three races of the campaign.

The following year, the trio of Jensen, di Resta and Vergne returned to the World Endurance Championship, driving the Peugeot 9X8.[5]
