A BIT OF HISTORY
Max has been racing since he was only seven years old. He competed in the Dutch National Karting Championship after he won the Dobla Kart Challenge in 2012.
In 2021 Max had his debute in car racing, when he participated in the Westfield Cup, driving a Westfield cup racer. In his first year he became Rookie of the Year. In 2022 he competed for the Championship and became Vice-champion. In 2023 Max participated in the Prototype Cup Germany. Together with his dad he won the race at the TT Circuit in Assen. He ended his debut year racing in a LMP3 successfully and became the Junior Champion of 2023!
"Ever since I started karting at a young age, I have also been interested in the mechanical side of racing. That's why I am studying Motorsport Engineering right now. It will help me develop my engineering skills in motorsport and understand the car better, which will give me the needed experience to pursuit a racing carreer."
EAT, SLEEP,
RACE, REPEAT
"In 2023, it was my first year driving a LMP3. It was a dream come true to drive together with my dad in this challenging racing car in the Prototype Cup Germany. I am really proud that we won our home race at the TT Circuit Assen and that I managed to become Junior Champion in my debut season. Looking forward to next racing season in the Michelin Le Mans Cup with our own, entirely Dutch Racingteam More Motorsport! I would like to thank my partners Fortezza Groep, Fynanch, Sonic Equipment, Electro World Stadhouder, Printed Sim Racing and Smith Communicatie for their support!"
ABOUT
MAX
Race Instructor (part-time)
RSZ Racing school (Zandvoort)
As a part-time race instructor, I teach people of all ages the basics of racing on a closed course first and then take them onto a racetrack where they will learn how to drive safely while racing other cars at race speed. They will then be assessed on these criteria and receive their Dutch National Club Sport license.
Trainee (part-time)
Tachyon Motorsport (Eemnes, the Netherlands)
Tachyon is specialized in race & rally support and also has an engineering division, with a focus on automotive engineering.
As a trainee I work on the team that prepares, build and modifies racing cars, to gain as much experience as possible. I carry out maintenance and repairs on cars as well as helping to build new race cars too. I also help with the design and production of custom parts when an of the shelf is not available.
