Mikkel Küno Møllegaard Laugesen Grundtvig{{Cite web|url=https://datacvr.virk.dk/enhed/person/4006990143/deltager|title=Mikkel Küno Møllegaard Laugesen Grundtvig|language=da|access-date=11 May 2024}} (born 30 June 2002) is a Danish racing driver. He notably competed in the GB3 Championship during the early 2020s.

Career

= Karting =

Grundtvig started racing in karting competitions in 2015, when he drove in the Danish Rotax Max Challenge. He remained in karts until 2016.

= Lower formulae =

In 2017 Grundtvig made his single-seater debut in the Aquila Synergy Cup with Young Factory Racing. The Dane scored his first podium in the second race at Karlskoga, and achieved two victories at the final two races of the season. Grundtvig finished the campaign in third place, 67 points behind the champion Kevin Suenson.

For 2018, Grundtvig progressed to the F4 Danish Championship, driving for Apex Racing.{{cite web|date=26 November 2017|title=Mikkel Grundtvig vil selv|trans-title=Mikkel Grundtvig wants to do it himself|url=http://www.motorsporten.dk/news.asp?aID=66887&title=Formel+4+DK%3A+Mikkel+Grundtvig+vil+selv|language=Danish|accessdate=18 January 2018}}{{Cite web|title=Formel 4, Velkommen til Mikkel Grundtvig - Apexracing|url=http://apexracing.dk/|access-date=2021-09-15|website=Apex Racing|language=da-DK}} However, despite five podium finishes of the course of the season, he only managed to end up seventh in the standings. Grundtvig remained with Apex for parts of the 2019 season, whilst also competing in the French F4 Championship.{{cite web|title=Padborg Park Open - F4/F5 Starting List|url=https://www.chronomoto.hu/images/stories/pdf/pdf/20190427_28_padborg/formel_startlist.pdf|accessdate=27 April 2019}}{{cite web|date=April 15, 2019|title=A PROMISING ENTRY FOR THE 2019 FRENCH F4 CHAMPIONSHIP|url=https://www.ffsaacademy.org/2019/04/15/a-promising-entry-for-the-2019-french-f4-championship/?lang=en|access-date=April 16, 2019}} The Dane would fare significantly better in the former than the previous year, winning three races and scoring a further five podiums, whilst in the French series he would come out victorious at the reversed-grid race at Lédenon and finished the year 13th in the championship.{{Cite web|last=Wood|first=Ida|date=2019-04-29|title=Mikkel Grundtvig takes first Danish F4 wins at soggy Padborg Park|url=https://formulascout.com/mikkel-grundtvig-danish-f4/50093|access-date=2021-09-15|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}}

= Danish Touring Cars =

In 2020 Grundtvig raced in Class 4 of the Danish Endurance Championship. After finishing six of the seven races on the podium and winning a total of three races he won the title in comfortable fashion.

= GB3 Championship =

Grundtvig made the step-up to race in the GB3 Championship in 2021, partnering Roberto Faria at Fortec Motorsports.{{Cite web|last=Wood|first=Elliot|date=2020-11-30|title=Roberto Faria to make full-time BRDC British F3 return with Fortec in 2021|url=https://formulascout.com/roberto-faria-to-make-full-time-brdc-british-f3-return-with-fortec-in-2021/71764|access-date=2020-11-30|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|last=Wood|first=Ida|date=2021-05-17|title=Mikkel Grundtvig joins Fortec in British F3|url=https://formulascout.com/mikkel-grundtvig-joins-fortec-in-british-f3/78829|access-date=2021-09-15|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}} He scored his first podium of the season along with his first win at Donington Park, where he held off Max Marzorati to take victory.{{Cite web|last=Woollard|first=Craig|date=2021-07-11|title=Mikkel Grundtvig beats Max Marzorati for maiden British F3 win|url=https://formulascout.com/mikkel-grundtvig-beats-max-marzorati-for-maiden-british-f3-win/81131|access-date=2021-09-15|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}} The following round at Spa-Francochamps the Dane achieved a second place in the reversed-grid race, completing a Fortec one-two lockout along with teammate Faria.{{Cite web|last=Whitfield|first=Steve|date=2021-07-25|title=Faria takes maiden BRDC British F3 win in Fortec 1-2 at Spa|url=https://formulascout.com/faria-takes-maiden-brdc-british-f3-win-in-fortec-1-2-at-spa/81769|access-date=2021-09-15|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}} Grundtvig's third podium of the campaign came at the final race at Oulton Park, where he yet again finished second.{{Cite web|date=2021-09-12|title=O'Sullivan all but secures GB3 title as Bilinski wins in wet|url=https://formulascout.com/osullivan-all-but-secures-gb3-title-as-bilinski-wins-in-wet/83681|access-date=2021-09-15|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}} After two 14th places in the first two races at the final round at Donington Park, Grundtvig won the final race of the season, having started from pole position due to the reversing of the qualifying order.{{Cite web|date=2021-10-17|title=Grundtvig wins GB3's final race with Tatuus MSV F3-016 car|url=https://formulascout.com/grundtvig-wins-gb3s-final-race-with-tatuus-msv-f3-016-car/85341|access-date=2021-10-17|website=Formula Scout|language=en-US}} He finished the season 13th in the standings, eight positions behind his only full-time teammate Faria.
