Patrick Madsen

Patrick Madsen, a racing driver hailing from Haiti, has made significant strides in the world of motorsports. Born on October 20, 1973, Madsen's journey in racing began in 2012 with ANSA Motorsports, a North American Road Racing Team based out of South Florida.

In 2014, Madsen secured a defining achievement by winning the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA Gold Cup Driver Championship. This victory was particularly noteworthy as it marked him as the first Haitian driver to ever clinch a professional racing championship. Driving under the ANSA Motorsports banner, Madsen demonstrated exceptional skill and determination, earning three wins, eight podium finishes, and another two top-five finishes in just 16 races. His success contributed to ANSA Motorsports winning their second Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge USA by Yokohama (Gold Cup class) Team Championship in three seasons.

Beyond his on-track accomplishments, Madsen has also played a crucial role in ANSA Motorsports as a co-owner, partnering with Alain Nadal. Together, they've guided the team to multiple victories and championships across various racing series, including the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge and the Pirelli World Challenge. Madsen's involvement has brought increased organization, improved communication, and a clearer chain of command within the team. In recent years, ANSA Motorsports has expanded its presence in the North American karting market, becoming a Charles Leclerc (CL) Kart dealer, further showcasing Madsen's commitment to the sport. Sadly, the motorsports community mourned the loss of Patrick-Otto Madsen in September 2023.
