With the 914/6 he was able to record several GT2.0 class wins in both racing series up to 1976. At the same time, he regularly drove in individual GT races, in which he achieved several victories and additional podium places. Occasionally, he started in 1972 and 1976 in some races of the 2nd division of the German Racing Championship (DRM).

His best DRM placement with the 934 was achieved in 1977 with 5th place in Kassel-Calden. In individual GT races from 1977 to 1979 he was able to record several overall and class victories.

From 1980 to 1981 Jürgensen drove a BMW M1 in the 1st division of the DRM. There he was able to place himself in the top ten places several times. Third place at the DRM run in 1981 in Wunstorf was his best placement in the DRM.

He drove his first long-distance race in 1977 in the sports car world championship with a Porsche 934 at the 6-hour race at Hockenheim, which he and Wolfgang Sell had to abandon after the 7th lap. In 1983 and 1984 he started together with Edgar Dören and other drivers such as Helmut Gall and Walter Mertes in a BMW M1 in the sports car world and European championships. There he celebrated three class wins in Group B in the 1000 km races in Monza , Imola and Silverstone .
