Mikkel Gaarde Pedersen (born 30 September 2008) is a Danish racing driver who most recently competed for DKR Engineering in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series.
Career
[edit]Pedersen began karting at the age of six, competing until 2022.[1] In his karting career, Pedersen most notably was runner-up in the junior class of the Rotax Max Challenge Germany standings in 2022,[2] and also was third in the Karting Sprint Cup Junior discipline of the FIA Motorsport Games the same year while representing Denmark.[3]
In late 2022, Pedersen made his single-seater debut, racing in the final round of that year's F4 Danish Championship at Jyllands-Ringen for GP Racing, in which he scored a best result of fourth in race one.[4] Returning to the series the following year for BAR,[5] Pedersen began the season by winning twice in the opening round at Padborg Park and winning race two at Anderstorp Raceway to take an early championship lead.[6][7] After winning race three at Karlskoga a round later,[8] Pedersen scored what turned out to be his final two wins of the season at Ring Djursland,[9] before scoring two podiums in the final two rounds to secure the series title by four points over Magnus Pedersen.[10]
Remaining in Formula 4 for 2024, Pedersen joined Drivex to compete in both the Formula Winter Series and the F4 Spanish Championship.[11][12] In the former, Pedersen scored his only podium of the season in race three at Jerez by finishing second,[13] and scored four more points finishes to end the winter eighth in points.[14] In the latter, Pedersen scored points twice, taking a best result of eighth in race two at Aragón before leaving the team and the series with three rounds remaining.[15] After leaving Drivex, Pedersen made his prototype debut in the JS P4 class of the Ligier European Series for Team Virage at the season-ending round at Algarve alongside Brandon McCaughan.[16] The pair finished fourth and fifth in the two races.[17] At the same venue, Pedersen partook in the European Le Mans Series rookie tests with DKR Engineering as he tested LMP3 machinery for the first time.[18]
Stepping up to full-time LMP3 competition the following year, Pedersen joined DKR Engineering to race in the European Le Mans Series alongside Antti Rammo and Wyatt Brichacek.[19] In his rookie season in the series, Pedersen scored his maiden podium at the season-ending race at Algarve by finishing third, on his way to a 10th-place points finish.[20] During 2025, Pedersen also made a one-off appearance in the 24 Hours of Le Mans-supporting round of the Le Mans Cup in the LMP3 Pro-Am class for Rinaldi Racing,[21] and partook in the European Le Mans Series rookie tests with R-ace GP in the LMP3 class.[22]
