LM Racing announced that Nicolai Sylvest will team up with Jan Magnussen for the inaugural TCR Denmark championship season next year.
The 22-year-old Sylvest won the 2012 Formula Ford Denmark title and then raced last year in the 2019 ADAC GT Masters to finish 14th overall win one win.
“I am really looking forward to an exciting season with LM Racing,” said Sylvest. “It is a strong team that has done well previously in the Danish Thundersport Championship. And with an experienced team-mate in the form of Jan Magnussen, there are high expectations.”
“We are glad to have landed a deal with Nicolai Sylvest who is just the right driver for our new TCR programme,” said team manager Lars Morgensen. “Jan is bringing a lot of experience from the previous front-wheel driven DTC cars, while Nicolai has spent the last years getting a lot of experience on tracks abroad, as well as selected Danish races.”
The team is planning to test its two Volkswagen Golf GTI cars for the first time early next year.
