Career Highlights
A strong team
No matter how skilled I may be behind the wheel of a race car, I get nowhere without competent people around me.
In addition to the indispensable support from my family and friends, I have a small team of talented individuals who have advised and assisted me all the way from the karting tracks to a seat in the FIA World Endurance Championship.
From Thy
West Jutlanders – and perhaps especially those from Thy – are known for their stubbornness and hardworking nature. It’s not something we talk about. It’s simply the way things are. From times past, we’ve been accustomed to harsh weather and hard labor. We’ve learned that the surest path to a good life is through dedicated and purposeful work – even when it’s tough.
And we stand together. When the tasks grow large, we come together and lift as one.
These are the values that have taken Malthe from dream to reality and into a life as a professional racing driver. His humble approach to the work and the relentless pursuit of success in a demanding sport have earned him great respect from teams, competitors, and car manufacturers alike.
And a job as a factory driver.
