Lærke Ronn will drive the 500 hp Porsche GT4 RS in 2025 and is now part of Porsche Motorsport's official talent program in Scandinavia
Lærke Ronn has just taken an important step in her motorsport career. The 18-year-old racing driver will drive a Porsche GT4 RS with 500 horsepower and a top speed of around 300 km/h in 2025.
At the same time, she has been accepted into Porsche Motorsport's talent program in Scandinavia.
This means that Porsche is now looking towards West Jutland, which will participate in seven rounds of the Porsche Sprint Challenge Scandinavia in the coming season. The series is run in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
“It's so cool to join the pool of talent, because then I know that Porsche is paying attention to me as a choir. So I consider it a pat on the back,” says Lærke Ronn.
Preparations for the Porsche GT4 RS at the highest level
The training for the season is already underway. Lærke Ronn has tested the race car both in Padborg and at Spa in Belgium. And she feels ready to start the new chapter in her career.
“I feel like I'm prepared for the season. I've gotten to know the car really well, and now I'm just looking forward to getting started,” she says.
With her acceptance into Porsche's talent program, Lærke will have access to specialized training and advice. She expects, among other things, sparring on race preparation and support in working with sponsors and the press.
According to her, it will also be possible to participate in a shootout with Porsche later this year.
First lap on Swedish asphalt in May
The Porsche Sprint Challenge Scandinavia season starts on April 24-25 with a Roll-out at Mantorp Park in Sweden. The first two races will be short at the Anderstorp track on May 9-10.
This year, Lærke Ronn will be handling a car with six cylinders, 500 hp and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just over three seconds.
It places great demands on both physical and mental focus, especially for a choir member who is still a teenager.
Porsche Sprint Challenge Scandinavia serves as an important step towards larger racing series in Europe, and many professional racers have previously had their breakthrough here.
