Born in Søndersø, Møller Madsen began racing karts in the early 2000s, in which he won two Danish Karting titles, before winning the SKUSA SuperNationals in 2009 and the Karting European Championship in 2010. Making his car-racing debut three years later, Møller Madsen was a mainstay in GT4 competitions, winning titles in the GT4 European Series and ADAC GT4 Germany in 2018 and 2020, respectively.
Career
Møller Madsen began karting in 2005. Mainly racing in Scandinavia in his first three years, Møller Madsen won the DASU Youth Cup in 2005 and 2008, along with winning the Peugeot Super Kart race in 2007 and the Danish Karting Championship in 2007 and 2008.[1][2]
Having made his debut in International races in 2006, Møller Madsen won the Deutsche Kart-Meisterschaft, Bridgestone Cup Europe and SKUSA SuperNationals in his first full year in International races, all in the KF2 class with Energy Corse.[3][4] Møller Madsen stayed with Energy Corse for the following two seasons, with whom he won the Deutsche Kart-Meisterschaft and Karting European Championship titles in 2010,[5][6] before taking his second Bridgestone Cup Europe title the following year.[7]
After two more years in karting, Møller Madsen began his racing career in 2013, racing in both the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup and the Yokohama SuperCup.[8] The Dane spent two years in the former, in which he scored two podiums in his sophomore year and ended the year fifth in points.[9] In 2015, Møller Madsen transitioned to the Audi Sport TT Cup.[10] In his only season in the series, Møller Madsen took a lone win at the Norisring and was runner-up in the season's standings, 25 points behind Jan Kisiel.[11][12]
The following year, Møller Madsen joined Phoenix Racing for a dual program in the Blancpain GT Sprint Series Cup and the GT4 European Series from Pau onwards.[13] In the former, Møller Madsen opened up the season with a class win at Misano,[14] before taking further class wins at the Hungaroring and the season-ending round at Barcelona as he capped off the year runner-up in the Silver Cup.[15] In the latter, Møller Madsen scored a lone win at Pau, which helped him to finish third in the Silver Cup standings at season's end.[16][17]
After taking a class win at the Bathurst 12 Hour in early 2017,[18] Møller Madsen returned to the newly-rebranded GT4 European Series Northern Cup for the rest of the year, joining PROsport Performance to race in the Pro-Am class alongside Jörg Viebahn.[19] After taking an overall win in the season-opening round at Misano,[20] Møller Madsen was left on the sidelines at Brands Hatch after crashing in qualifying and severely damaging the car, which caused the team to withdraw from that weekend.[21] After missing the following two rounds due to brake issues with the car and losing his driver's licence after speeding in his native Denmark,[22] Møller Madsen returned to the series for the season-finale at the Nürburgring, where he finished no higher than 20th across the two races.[23]
In 2018, Møller Madsen joined Phoenix Racing and partnered up with Milan Dontje for his first full season in the GT4 European Series.[24] The duo won the season-opening race at Zolder,[25] before taking more wins at Brands Hatch and Spa,[26][27] on his way to the title at season's end.[28] At the end of the year, the Dane finished third in the GT4 International Cup with the same team.[29] Møller Madsen then stayed with Phoenix Racing to defend the title in 2019,[30] in which he took a lone win at Zandvoort as he ended the year sixth in points in his final season with the team.[31]
Having been set to join Absolute Racing's GT4 operations in GT World Challenge Asia for 2020,[32] Møller Madsen joined Allied-Racing for a dual program in ADAC GT4 Germany and the GT4 European Series as pandemic-related issues forced the GTWC Asia season to be cancelled.[33] In the former, Møller Madsen won on debut at the Nürburgring,[34] before taking wins at the Red Bull Ring,[35] Lausitzring and Oschersleben as he clinched his only ADAC GT4 Germany title by one point.[36][37] Racing in the Pro-Am class in the latter, the Dane took a lone class win at Misano by finishing third overall, before taking one more overall podium to end the season third in the Pro-Am standings.[38]
Møller Madsen remained with Allied-Racing for 2021, once again racing in both ADAC GT4 Germany and the GT4 European Series.[39] In the former, Møller Madsen took two podiums in the first three rounds of the season before leaving Allied-Racing with immediate effect following the round at Zandvoort.[40] After joining Team AVIA Sorg Rennsport for the round at the Hockenheimring, the Dane ended the season with W&S Motorsport, with whom he scored two podiums in the final round of the season.[41] In the latter, Møller Madsen won race two at Spa, which helped him end the year 11th in points despite missing the season-ending round Barcelona.[42]
Staying with W&S Motorsport for 2022, Møller Madsen only competed in ADAC GT4 Germany alongside Finn Zulauf.[43] The Dane scored a lone podium at the Nürburgring as he finished the year 11th in points,[44] despite missing the final round due to personal reasons following a 14-day prison sentence for a hit-and-run accident in Denmark.[45][46]
Remaining in ADAC GT4 Germany for the following season, Møller Madsen joined Wimmer Werk Motorsport alongside Eric Scalvini for the first round,[47] before being joined by Ivan Ekelchik.[48] The pair ended the year 14th in points with a pole at the Lausitzring and a best result of fourth at the Nürburgring.[49][50] During 2023, Møller Madsen joined SRS Team Sorg Rennsport for the final three rounds of the GT4 European Series, scoring a lone Silver cup podium at the Hockenheimring.[51]
Møller Madsen continued with Wimmer Werk Motorsport for 2024 as he made his full-time return to the GT4 European Series.[52] Alongside the returning Ekelchik, the duo scored a best result of fourth at Misano and ended the year 15th in points as they both left the team ahead of the season-ending Jeddah round.[53]
