Theodor Jensen Confirmed for 24 Hours of Le Mans Debut as Part of Youngest Crew in Race History
Theodor Jensen has been confirmed on the entry list for the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans, marking the Danish teenager's debut at the world's most prestigious endurance race.
The 19-year-old will pilot the #37 CLX Motorsport in the LMP2 class alongside Ian Aguilera (Mexico) and Adrien Closmenil (France). All three drivers are 19 years old, giving the car a combined crew age of just 57 - making it the youngest driver lineup in the 103-year history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The official entry list was published today by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO). The race takes place from June 10–14 at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
To put the crew's youth into perspective: their combined age of 57 is less than that of the oldest driver on the 2026 entry list, 66-year-old Swiss businessman Thomas Flohr, who will drive the #54 Vista AF Corse LMGT3 Evo in his eighth Le Mans start.
From LMP3 champion to Le Mans starter in 18 months
Jensen's trajectory through the endurance racing ladder has been nothing short of extraordinary. Since making his prototype debut in 2024, the Randers native has won the 2024/25 Asian Le Mans Series LMP3 championship, won the 2025 European Le Mans Series LMP3 championship with CLX Motorsport - taking five victories from six races alongside Closmenil - and won Race 1 of the 2025 Road to Le Mans at the Circuit de la Sarthe, his first experience of the legendary track.

More recently, Jensen stepped up to the LMP2 class for the 2025/26 Asian Le Mans Series with High Class Racing, securing a podium at the 4 Hours of Abu Dhabi alongside Jens Reno Møller and Gustavo Menezes.
The Le Mans entry represents the next chapter in Jensen's career with CLX Motorsport, the Swiss-based team led by former Le Mans LMP2 class winner Nicolas Lapierre, whose driver development academy has previously produced Peugeot Hypercar driver Malthe Jakobsen.

A trio of teenage talent
Jensen's teammates each bring proven pedigree to the #37 entry.
Adrien Closmenil, 19, from Bayeux, France, shared the 2025 ELMS LMP3 title with Jensen at CLX and established himself as one of the category's outstanding qualifying performers, taking multiple pole positions across the season. A graduate of the CLX Academy, Closmenil transitioned from French F4 to become a dominant force in prototype racing within two seasons.
Ian Aguilera, 19, from Guadalajara, Mexico, is the 2019 Radical World Finals champion and finished runner-up in the 2024/25 Asian Le Mans Series LMP3 championship. A member of Escudería Telmex, Aguilera has competed in the Ginetta Junior Championship, Ligier European Series, Asian Le Mans Series, and European Le Mans Series, accumulating significant experience across a range of machinery.
Theodor Jensen said:
"Le Mans has been the goal since I first sat in a prototype. To be on the grid at 19, with Ian and Adrien as part of the youngest crew in the race's history - it's an incredible feeling. We've all earned our place here, and we're going to give it everything."
