Le Mans Cup
The Series
The Le Mans Cup, abbreviated LMC, is an international racing series, that is competed across six races around Europe. You can compete in either the LMP3- or the GT3-class in the series – GMB Motorsports participates with two GT3-cars this season. There will be a total of 12 competing cars in our class, and it will be of particular interest to be competing with the Danish team, High Class Racing, that enters the competition with a single car with Danish Anders Fjordbach and his British partner behind the wheels.
Counting the other class, LMP3, 42 cars is entered in the series, and unlike the case in 2022 it isn’t possible to win qualification for 24H Le Mans in this season’s version of the LMC.

Last season Simon dominated the Danish Yokohama SuperCup, where he totally outclassed his advisories and was named Talent of the Year by DASU, the main organization of Danish Racing.
Lars
Pedersen
Like in the last season we have the pleasure of filling the seat in our car no. 88 with Lars Pedersen and Jan Magnussen. Lars is once again our Bronze Driver of the crew, with whom he claimed a second-place finish in LMC last season after finishing on the podium thrice.
Jan
Magnussen
Being on the most prolific drivers in Danish racing these last decades, Jan Magnussen requires no introduction. Thru competing in 25 Formula One Grands Prix, victories in 24H Le Mans and the Danish DTC-class; Jan has done it all. In 2023 Jan will be attempting to take one more step up he ladder on the podium in LMC after coming in second last season.

We have a clear goal of being the best both on and off the tarmac.
