Championship weekends for Magnussens

Sunday was a big day for Corvette Racing’s Jan Magnussen and son Kevin. Eight days after winning his first American Le Mans Series championship, Jan Magnussen captured his second Danish Touring Car championship after winning the season-ending race at Jyllandsringen. It came less than an hour after 16-year-old Kevin won the Danish Formula Ford championship.

The younger Magnussen posted his 11th victory in 13 events. The proud father added the DTC title to the one he secured for Peugeot in 2003. So far this season, he and Johnny O’Connell have won eight times this year in GT1 for Corvette Racing.

While Jan Magnussen completes the American Le Mans Series this weekend with the Monterey Sports Car Championships presented by Patr¢n at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Kevin Magnussen will drive in the Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch.
