Early Years
In 2011 a friend in real life of mine RAMON DOBMA told me to drive with him at the WCS simracing competition. I just started to like watching formula 1 on the television at 2010 and cried for joy because Vettel, my favourite F1 driver went champion for the first time! After that some half year later Ramon convinces me do drive at WCS. I tried some mods but the mod i loved the most was the Clio Mod. I was like after some races already scoring points with my first team Redbull Racing Holland. Team mate was Ramon Dobma. I also tried to drive the GP2 Mod and the F1Mod, but that was not a mod for me. I was to focused of being fast but I usually crashed and made much mistakes. And i was a kind of successful in the Clio Mod. I then choose only to focus on the Clio Mod. Not that i won races but that was a kind of impossible when you drive against Sven de Vries, Ruud Heesterbeek, Menno Klont & Roy Verzijl. After some races my standard qualy positions went 5th till 9th every track. But i was still sloppy during the races. After 3/4 seasons i quitted simracing after finishing once 1st. And 3times being 2nd. Never went 3rd in 4 seasons. And as best result being 8th in the 3rd season in the clio mod. After that i went to ERS and drove with some old guys which were nice ,but after 4 races finishing 3 times as 1st. And one time 2nd there was no competition there for me and quitted with sim racing.
2015 & beyond
This year I have signed up in the GPVWC Open Season Series. I have done 1 race so far, and I really enjoy the season very much. I have aslo signed with Deltec Racing Team as FC reserve driver. I am happy for the big opportunity and will do my best in the FC series, when required.
