Viktor Þór William Jensen (born December 30 1987, in Hammersmith, London, [England] ) is an Icelandic racing driver, with dual (British) nationality.

Viktor currently races in the British F3 Championship. His father is Canadian-born British radio DJ David Jensen.

As well as his racing career, Viktor currently reads Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. He was accepted into the prestigious university having attained 40 points in his International Baccalaureate examinations.

Early career

Viktor debuted in kart racing at 11 years old, winning his first novice race. Over the next five years he quickly progressed through the ranks, culminating in competing at the CIK-FIA European ICA finals. Due to dual Icelandic/British nationality, he represented England in 2001 and 2002 at the Fathom Internations Challenge, himself winning the race in 2001.

tepping into Cars

In 2003, Viktor started to delve into the world of single-seater racing cars, attending the Formula BMW scholarship course in Valencia, Spain. Whetting his appetite to progress into cars, Viktor then tested a number of cars including Formula Ford, Formula Renault and Caterham Superlites. One of the cars tested was a Formula Palmer-Audi car. The FPA car impressed, and it was decided that 2004 would see Viktor competing in the Formula Palmer-Audi Championship.

In 2007 Viktor raced in the British Formula 3 International Championship with the Alan Docking Racing team and in 2008 races in the same series for the Nexa team.
