Dennis Lind
Dennis Lind (Roskilde, 3 February 1993) is a Danish racing driver.[1] He is the nephew and cousin of Formula One drivers Jan and Kevin Magnussen, respectively. He is currently competing in the Danish Thundersport Championship which is currently the top level of Danish motorsport.
Career
Lind started his racing career by karting, driving in Italy but mainly in Scandinavia, throughout 2006 and 2007. In 2008, he competed in various Formula Ford events; he won the single-round North European Championship, he finished second behind his cousin Kevin Magnussen in the Danish Championship and entered the Benelux Formula Ford Championship. This got him invited to two 2008 British Formula Ford races at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. He finished 15th and 21st.
Lind's 2009 season looked much alike the year before; he was first in the Danish, seventh in the North European and sixteenth in the Benelux Championship. This got him invited to the annual Formula Ford Festival. He finished fourteenth. In 2010, Lind entered the full season of British Formula Ford and finished fifteenth. He won the Formula Ford Festival.
In 2011, Lind entered only half the races of the 2011 ADAC Formel Masters season, but still finished tenth. He also finished sixth and eighth in the last weekend of the German F3 during the same year. He then competed in the Auto-G Danish Thundersport Championship (which is essentially Danish Touring Cars), coming second just behind his uncle Jan Magnussen in 2012 and then became DTC Champion of 2013. 2014 saw Lind's return to formula racing where he took part in the Formula Acceleration 1.[2] He also drove for AF Corse during the first weekend of the ELMS at Silverstone.[1][3][4]
