My story
How it started
It all started when my dad took me to my first DTM race in 2013 at Circuit Park Zandvoort. That’s where I fell in love with motorsport. Afterward, we visited the track more often, also to watch my dad race.
​
In 2015, I got a PlayStation 4 along with the F1 2015 game, which I played a lot using a controller. This is where I became really interested in the dynamics of racing and finding the car's limits. Even with a controller, I learned techniques like trail braking and being gentle with the throttle.
In 2020, I got my first simulator for Christmas from my dad. I immediately started using it in the living room. Within a month, I began league racing with my friends on the F1 2021 game. We weren’t very good at it, but we had loads of fun together. In 2023, I transitioned to racing in Assetto Corsa Competizione with GT3 cars, where I learned about real racing concepts like overtaking maneuvers and pit stop strategies.
​
At the beginning of 2024, my dad bought back his old BMW Compact 318ti from a friend. In April of that year, my dad asked if I wanted to get my racing license. Of course, I said yes! Right from the start, I was quick. I applied all the experience I learned from sim racing to real life almost immediately.​ I raced for the first time on May 20, 2024, in the BMW Compact Cup. I finished in 2nd place overall after an intense battle for the lead.

2024
In 2024, I had a great season competing in the DNRT BMW Compact Cup, where I finished 4th in the championship. Missing the first round was a big challenge it put me 150 points behind the leader right from the start. Despite this, I stayed focused, kept improving, and climbed back up the standings. More than the results, it was a year of growth, both in skill and mental strength.
​
Beyond the Compact Cup, I gained valuable experience in endurance racing. One of the highlights was driving a BMW M240i for the first time during an endurance race in May, thanks to MDM Motorsport. My pace in wet conditions stood out, and we finished P5 out of 50 cars. Later that year, I raced in a BMW Compact 325ti. Although there was little competition in our class, I used it as a chance to improve my car control and race awareness. We finished P5 out of 50 cars overall.
​
Overall, 2024 was an unforgettable season that taught me more than I ever expected. I raced on new tracks, adapted to different cars and conditions, and kept learning every step of the way. I’m proud of how far I’ve come in such a short time and excited to keep developing as a driver through every challenge that comes next.
2025
The 2025 season has been nothing short of incredible. After a successful debut year in the BMW Compact Cup, I made the step up to the BMW Racing Cup a championship with faster cars, tougher competition, and higher stakes. From the very first race, I knew this was where I belonged.
​
Throughout the season, I focused on staying calm under pressure, keeping a consistent pace, and always pushing for the win. That mindset paid off out of 15 races so far, I’ve won 12 and scored podium finishes in almost all others. Each race taught me something new about precision, racecraft, and adapting to changing conditions.
​
One of my personal highlights was battling for victory in Zandvoort, where I managed to defend my lead for more than ten laps under immense pressure. Those moments when every move counts and the adrenaline takes over — are what I live for.
​
This season wasn’t just about driving fast; it was about developing as a complete racing driver. I learned to work closely with my team on data analysis, tire management, and car setup. I also improved my physical and mental preparation, knowing that every small detail makes the difference between finishing second or standing on the top step of the podium.
​
Now, as the season approaches its final rounds, my goal is clear: win the BMW Racing Cup championship and prepare for the next big step in 2026.
​
This year has proven to me that I have the speed, mindset, and determination to compete at the highest level. But more importantly, it has shown that the journey I’ve started is just the beginning.
2026
I want to go as far as I can in motorsport, concentrating on competing in the various levels of the sport –starting in a lower tier and competing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Benelux and later tackle higher series like the Porsche Super Cup. I want to become a high-performing driver who will always seek to maximize performance and learn every time in each race I drive. In the course of achieving this, I will still expand my brand, expand my network, and get partners who understand my zeal and ambition in the motorsport sector.
