Marcel Lasée (born 10 January 1982) is a German racing driver. Twice a national champion in junior single-seaters, Lasée reached the Formula 3 Euro Series and was a test driver for Jordan in Formula One. He has most recently driven for Subaru at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring, twice winning the SP3T class.

Career

Lasée began his single-seater career in 1999, winning the Formula Ford 1800 Germany title on debut.[2] Moving to Formula Renault in 2000, Lasée placed eighth in Formula Renault 2000 Eurocup for Walter Lechner Racing,[3] before winning the German series in 2001, ahead of Vitantonio Liuzzi.[4][5] Stepping up to the German Formula Three Championship in 2002 with Mücke Motorsport,[6] Lasée scored a best result of sixth at the A1-Ring and Zandvoort to end the year 17th in points.[7][8] In parallel, Lasée became a test driver for Jordan Grand Prix in Formula One, sampling the EJ11 and EJ12 in a two-day test at Barcelona in January,[9] before conducting aerodynamic work at Elvington Airfield for the team ahead of the 2002 European Grand Prix.[10][11]

After completing his mandatory military service in 2003 with the Sportfördergruppe Köln-Longerich in Cologne,[12] Lasée made a brief return to German F3 for Franz Wöss Racing, before joining Swiss Racing Team for select rounds of the Formula 3 Euro Series and the Masters of Formula 3.[13][14] He notably scored a dual points finish at Nürburgring.[15] Lasée spent the next three seasons in SEAT León Supercopa Germany,[16][17] collecting three wins for a best championship finish of fourth in 2004.[18][19][20] During 2006, Lasée also made his 24 Hours of Nürburgring debut, finishing third in the SP5 class.[21]

Lasée then raced at the 24 Hour of Cologne kart race in 2009,[22] before making an ADAC GT Masters cameo in the 2012 finale with Porsche-fielding Mühlner Motorsport.[23] Following that, Lasée raced at the next five editions of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for Subaru Tecnica International in SP3T,[24][25][26] winning in class in both 2015 and 2016 alongside Carlo van Dam, Tim Schrick and Hideki Yamauchi.[27][28] In 2022, Lasée made a one-off return to the race with Subaru, driving alongside Van Dam, Schrick and Kota Sasaki.[29]
