Rasmus Lindh: Racing, Leadership & the Road to Le Mans

This week on Fast and Fearless, host Brendan P. Keegan sits down with Rasmus Lindh — United Autosports LMP2 driver, 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona winner, Watkins Glen winner, and 24 Hours of Le Mans competitor.

Rasmus takes us from karting at age 6 in Sweden to chasing the American open-wheel dream at 17, through a COVID-forced pivot into sports car racing, all the way to victory lane at Daytona and a bucket-list run at Le Mans. Along the way, he opens up about balancing patience and aggression in endurance racing, sharing a car with multiple drivers, and what real leadership looks like inside the cockpit.

Whether you’re a motorsports fan, an aspiring driver, or a business leader looking for lessons in feedback and composure under pressure, this episode delivers it all.
