Early career

Karting

Larsen started karting in 2020, [3] mainly racing in IAME-run series until 2024. [4] During her time in karting, Larsen most notably won the 2023 Zealand Karting Championship in the Dasu junior class. [5] During 2023, Larsen also became the last winner of the FIA Girls on Track – Rising Stars programme's senior category. [6]

Formula 4

2024

Larsen made her single-seater debut at the end of 2024, racing in the F4 Indian Championship for MP Motorsport-run Speed Demons Delhi. [7] Racing in only the first two rounds of the season, Larsen scored a best result of sixth in race one at Chennai. [8]

2025

In early 2025, Larsen signed with Jenzer Motorsport to compete in the Formula Winter Series. [9] In the first round of the season at Algarve, Larsen finished 15th in the first two races and stayed out of trouble during a damp race three to finish 19th. [10] After a difficult weekend at Valencia where she could only muster a best result of 21st, [11] Larsen improved her best result of the season by taking 14th in race one at Aragon in what would turn out to be her final round in the series as she focused on F1 Academy pre-season testing. [12]

On April 7, 2025, it was announced that Larsen would compete on a part-time basis in the F4 British Championship for Chris Dittmann Racing. [13] Racing in the season-opening round at Donington Park's national layout, Larsen finished 15th and 14th in the first two races and capped off the weekend by finishing 16th and leaving the round fourth in the Challenge Cup standings. [14]

F1 Academy

2025

In late 2024, it was announced that Larsen would race in F1 Academy for MP Motorsport with support from Tommy Hilfiger. [15] Qualifying third on debut in Shanghai, [16] Larsen finished fourth on track in the reverse-grid sprint race, but was later penalized for an earlier collision with Emma Felbermayr and thus dropped to seventh. [17] In the feature race, Larsen ran third for most of it but was passed by Chloe Chambers in the closing stages and dropped to fourth as the race ended. [18] In the following round at Jeddah, Larsen finished fifth in both races. [19] [20] At Miami, Larsen finished 11th in the sprint race after starting from the pit lane, [21] in what turned out to be the round's sole race as the feature race was cancelled due to adverse conditions. [22]
