Clausen, 17, is a familiar name in the Winter Series paddock, having shown great pace and consistency with Mücke in the 2025 GT4 Winter Series. Along with Axel Bengtsson, he scored five top-five finishes in six race appearances. The Dane then competed in ADAC GT4 Germany with Mücke, finishing sixth in the rookie standings, while also gaining mileage in the German team’s Duqueine LMP3 cars during the summer.
Mads Kjelde Larsen, also hailing from Denmark, is a newcomer to racing closed-wheel cars, having come from the world of karting and Nordic F4. He has worked hard alongside the Mücke team in a training programme, to ensure he is competitive from the start of the PTWS season. Undoubtedly one of the youngest pairings on the grid, this Danish duo will aim to be one of the most competitive too.
Team boss Stefan Mücke commented: “For many years, our job has been to find young talent, train them, and support them on their journey. There’s more to come [in 2026]; for now, we’re happy to be able to confirm our winter programme and line-up this early.”
The two juniors have further test days scheduled in December, ahead of the season opener of the Prototype Winter Series at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, which will take place from 15-18 January. The third season will once again comprise of four race weekends, with two 50-minute races per event. Following the season opener, the action moves to Estoril, then on to a Spanish double-header in Aragon and Barcelona. The season finale will take place from 12-15 March at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
