The 2025 racing season marked a major breakthrough for Danish racing talent Marcus Terkildsen, who at just 15 years old completed his first full year in national motorsport with impressive results in both Super GT Denmark and TCR Denmark in the CUPRA TCR.
Despite his young age, Marcus delivered a season that showcased speed, maturity and a clear trajectory toward a future in international GT and endurance racing.
Super GT Debut with Strong Pace, Rapid Growth and a Historic First Win
Marcus made his debut in Super GT Denmark, one of the most competitive GT series in the region. Racing against far more experienced drivers, he showed remarkable adaptability and development throughout the season.
His standout achievement came when he became the youngest driver ever to win a heat in Super GT Denmark, an extraordinary moment for a 15-year-old competing in a senior-level GT category.
Key Super GT highlights include:
- A confident performance in his first-ever GT race
- Multiple top-10 finishes during the season
- Strong improvements in qualifying pace and racecraft
- Rapid technical learning across high-performance GT machinery
- A historic Super GT heat victory that established him as a rising Danish motorsport talent
The Super GT campaign accelerated his development and demonstrated his ability to compete at a high level in advanced GT machinery.
TCR Denmark Podium Performance and Third Overall in the Championship
Alongside his GT programme, Marcus competed in selected rounds of TCR Denmark driving a CUPRA TCR. TCR is known for extremely close racing, technical demands and strong competition, which made the challenge even more impressive.
Across the season, Marcus delivered consistent speed and race intelligence that earned him an outstanding third place overall in the TCR Denmark championship. This result is remarkable considering his age and limited experience in touring cars.
TCR strengths included:
- His performance across both categories highlighted his ability to switch between racing platforms while remaining competitive.
- Competitive pace in both qualifying and race sessions
- Strong overtaking and defensive skills in tight grids
- Quick adaptation to front-wheel-drive dynamics
