The stony Dane must take part in the world's toughest race

The Danish rich man Jonny Laursen will for the second time take part in the world's toughest motor race, the 24 hour race at the Le Mans track in France.

It will not be announced at first in the Danish Formula Racing's own colors that Jonny Laursen will drive Le Mans for the second time.

Instead, the rich man behind the Danish Ferrari importer has been given a seat by the Swiss team Spirit of Race in a Ferrari 296 GT3.

It happens in the new LMGT3 class, where the team must fight against 22 other cars from the world's best GT teams.

This is stated in a press release .

– I am proud to have the chance to participate in Le Mans for the second time, which is the world's biggest motor race and an event that every racing driver dreams of winning.

– It will be an exciting year, when a new era with GT3 cars begins, and I look forward to taking up the fight with Spirit of Race, says Jonny Laursen.

The names of the other two singers, who will perform together with Jonny Laursen, will be announced shortly.

The Dane has made a fortune in the publishing industry as the man behind Benjamin Media, which was later sold to a Swedish publisher. Subsequently, Laursen threw some of his money into the deal with Ferrari's street cars in Denmark.
