Fernández Laser began his racing career in 2007 in the ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup and ended it with three wins in the rookie classification. A year later, he entered the SEAT León Supercopa. Between 2012 and 2013, he took part in a total of six races in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, with the best result being fourth place at the Red Bull Ring.

In 2014, Fernández Laser started more and more races in the VLN Endurance Championship on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, initially in a 450 hp Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. In 2015, he entered the Nürburgring 24 Hours for the first time and finished sixth overall with his teammates Michela Cerruti, John Edwards and Daniel Keilwitz. In the further course of the year, Fernández Laser drove two overall victories[3] in the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring, in the Dunlop BMW Z4 GT3 Art Car designed by JP Performance. In 2016, he was brought in by James Glickenhaus, to drive for Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus. He finished in second place in the SP-X class together with Manuel Lauck, Franck Mailleux and Jeroen Bleekemolen.[4] In 2019, he finished in 8th overall and had the fastest race lap in the class, and in 2020, he finished 14th overall and won the SP-X class for Glickenhaus. In addition, Fernández Laser and Lance David Arnold won the 3rd round of the VLN Endurance Championship Nürburgring in 2018 for the Frikadelli Racing Team, a team owned by Sabine Schmitz and Klaus Abbelen.[5]

In the 2020 season, Fernández Laser entered the European Le Mans Series on a Porsche 911 RSR.[6][7] In 2022, as part of Frikadelli, he joined the Le Mans Cup alongside Abbelen.[8] Fernández Laser formed a part of the Frikadelli entry that won the 2023 24 Hours of Nürburgring, driving alongside Earl Bamber, Nicky Catsburg, and David Pittard.[9][10][11]
