Dennis Marcel Galindo Lind (born 3 February 1993 in Roskilde, Denmark) is a Danish racing driver of Colombian descent who competes in GT World Challenge Europe and the British GT Championship. He is the nephew of former Formula One driver Jan Magnussen and the cousin of current Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen. Lind is a double Lamborghini Super Trofeo champion, having won both the European and World titles in 2016.

Lind was born in Roskilde, Denmark, into a family deeply embedded in motorsport. His uncle Jan Magnussen and cousin Kevin Magnussen both raced in Formula One, giving Lind an early immersion in the sport. He began his racing career in karting during 2006 and 2007, competing in Scandinavia and Italy.

In 2008, Lind entered Formula Ford events, winning the single-round North European Championship and finishing second in the Danish Championship โ€” directly behind his cousin Kevin Magnussen. He also competed in the Benelux Formula Ford Championship, which earned him an invitation to two British Formula Ford races at Spa-Francorchamps where he finished fifteenth and twenty-first.

His 2009 season followed a similar pattern: he won the Danish Formula Ford championship, placed seventh in the North European series, and finished sixteenth in the Benelux championship. He also appeared at the annual Formula Ford Festival, finishing fourteenth.

In 2010, Lind competed in a full season of British Formula Ford and finished fifteenth overall, then won the Formula Ford Festival outright. In 2011 he entered part of the ADAC Formel Masters season, finishing tenth despite missing rounds, and also recorded results in the German Formula 3 championship.

Lind contested the Danish Thundersport Championship from 2012, the national touring car series that his uncle Jan Magnussen also competed in. He finished second behind Jan Magnussen in 2012 and then became Danish Touring Car champion in 2013. In 2014 he returned to formula racing with Formula Acceleration 1 and also drove for AF Corse in the European Le Mans Series at Silverstone.

After a season split between Danish touring cars and GT racing in 2015, Lind joined the Lamborghini Super Trofeo championship in 2016 as a member of the Lamborghini Squadra Corse Young Driver Program with Italian team Raton Racing.

Lind dominated the 2016 Lamborghini Super Trofeo European season, winning the first race at Monza as a solo driver in the PRO category. He claimed multiple victories across the campaign and, despite occasional setbacks including a spin caused by lapped traffic at Silverstone and a brake issue at Monza, he controlled the championship and ultimately became European champion. He then competed at the World Final in Valencia in December 2016, claiming the overall World Championship title to complete a European and World Super Trofeo double in his first full season with Lamborghini.

In 2017, Lind contested occasional Super Trofeo rounds while making his debut in the Blancpain GT Europe Endurance series. In 2018 he moved to the Blancpain GT Asia series alongside Martin Kodric, winning the Asia championship together. In 2019, Lind was a significant part of FFF Orange1 Racing Team's Lamborghini factory effort in Blancpain GT Europe Endurance. Despite a commanding championship campaign, a serious illness forced him to sit out the final round of the season, preventing him from being scored as champion.

From 2022 onwards, Lind continued in GT3 machinery, signing with JP Motorsport and racing in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup as well as the British GT Championship.

The Magnussen motorsport lineage is central to Lind's story. Jan Magnussen (his uncle) competed in Formula One in the mid-1990s and had a long career in American and European GT racing. Kevin Magnussen (his cousin) has been a Formula One regular since 2014 and continues in the series with Haas. Lind himself chose a path through GT and endurance racing rather than single-seaters, finding his niche in the Lamborghini factory programme.
